Not sure about that. I do know that in the summer the local GPs and NHS leaflets locally (across England I think) were advertising flu jabs this autumn for 60s and over - partly in response to Covid and with the intention of reducing the impact of seasonal flu and a second wave of Covid hitting together. There have been press and word of mouth stories around for the past month that supplies are not adequate and that GPs and pharmacies (who can also give the jab) will have to ration. The rationing decision is to row back on the intended expansion to 60s and over, at least for now. It may be different in Wales, but for England that seems to be the story, backed by a host of national press reports last week.
