    Eh? How do they know which one to give you? I thought they hadn't determined which flu this bird flu is they're getting all paniced about. Or is there already some other flu wandering about.

          Public service announcement:-

          The flu jab is free to people in ‘at risk’ groups. Only people in these groups need to have a flu jab. This applies if you’re 65 or over, or if you have any of these problems (however old you are):

          a serious heart or chest complaint, including serious asthma,
          serious kidney disease,
          diabetes, or

          lowered immunity due to disease or treatment such as steroid medication or cancer treatment.

          Your GP may also advise you to have the flu jab if you have serious liver disease or if you are a primary care worker, such as a nurse or social worker.

          It provides no protection against 'bird flu'

              They’re offering a free “flu jab” to all the permies here. Contractors are not being invited to the “stabbing” session.

              I was going to point out that what they should be getting is the “anti flu jab”, but decided not to get involved.

                They just say that to make the permies think it's another perk

                ...but we know better.
