Hello MrsBun and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your situation. It would be a good idea to get your COVID and flu boosters done before your forthcoming operation.

I am not sure where the vaccinations are booked but if it is through your GP then you could explain to the receptionist about your forthcoming operation. The NHS have produced some information on booking vaccinations for flu and COVID which you might find helpful to look at.

I do hope that your operation goes well. 

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the best,

Catherine

Thank you Catherine. I rang the NHS Scotland Winter jags helpline and they were so kind and helpful... I had my Winter jags today at the community hospital. The CT is on Tuesday, a tiny bit earlier than expected. It's still a horrible situation so am living one day at a time, one appointment at a time. Thank you for your kind and helpful advice.
