Flu jab/spray

Anyone else’s child been offered this? Just received a call from the doctor about my son having it as he’s got a heart condition so puts him more at risk. Yet it’s up on the air if he can have the spray due to complications it may cause. But we are only happy for him to have the spray. He sees his consultant in Febr...

Silent treatment from 111

I called 111 9 hours ago about my 8 week old son. I was told I would receive a call back, but I’m still waiting up for it. Is this normal? They told me to call back if symptoms get worse- they haven’t gotten worse, but I was expecting support by now. At this rate I may as well get an appointment with our regular GP.
