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

But that involves the whisper private sector /w which will make a
whisper profit/w. Shich horror! Our Dave will have conniptions,
whatever they may be.

Now explain how a chemist is private sector (when the majority of its
income is from the NHS) while a GP surgery isn't. Although I expect it
will tax what passes for your brain.

But thanks for confirming you are happy to pay for a jab 'from the private
sector' you can get for free from your GP.

I'm sure your Harley Street doctor would do a flue jab on demand too.
Although likely not for £8.

You will get it Free at ASDA or other private pharmacies if you are
entitled to one under the NHS scheme.
Agree getting them at a High Street or Supermarket Pharmacy is often a
lot less hassle than at the GPs.
I used to always use my local independent Pharmacy for a walk in appt.


How do you prove your entitlement in Asda ?

Exactly like with a prescription - you don't have to prove it just claim it.


A prescription being a piece of paper signed by a medical
professional?, unless you have selected your online pharmacist,
whence "paperless" things can happen (even though they give me a
paper repeat order form with your item(s) )

Accepted, but you dont have to prove you are entitled to free
prescriptions you just tick a box and sign.


Unless asked for proof at my chemist...
