Wifey rocked up at our local ASDA store pharmacy yesterday for a jab -
no booking, no queue, no fuss, in and out in 5 mins. £8

My local ASDA is about the same distance as my GP surgery. Where it was
free...


It's only free if you are over 65 and/or have a health condition.
The over 50's won't get a free jab until November. The flu season has
started. £8 in my mind was a worthwhile investment for my wife, and it
was available.
I qualify for a free jab though.

The logjam - if there is one - is likely caused by those not at the most
risk trying to jump the queue.

Which is of course just what Tory Timmy wants. Limited resources go first
to those who can afford to pay the most, regardless of need. Not that he'd
ever come out and say that, though.
