You don't need to "see" a Dr to get a flu jab. Ours are done by the

I was sent an appointment by the surgery, out of the blue. Instead of
going to the surgery, I found the local chemists were doing them and
were willing to do me without an appointment, if they had the necessary
spare when I dropped in. In fact, when I dropped in, they just had the
one spare dose, which I was able to claim. Another waiting behind me
without an appointment, was disappointed.

This was the first time I have ever had the flu jab, though I have had
invites before to make an appointment each year. I had no ill effects at
all.

Since there doesn't seem to be a problem with flu down-under this
year (thanks to lockdown/social distance/handwashijg/masks), I
wonder what sort of 'guess' they will have made over which strain
of flu to vaccinate against ?.
