Not sure Jan, maybe it’s because we don’t have our spleens and are extra vulnerable. Come to think of it, I don’t remember my parents having it every five years. There were a few vaccines we had to have before surgery but this is the only one we have to repeat (plus flu and Covid as and when).
Crommers and Kaz, we use Tesco pharmacy a couple of miles away. Always good service, prescriptions are always ready when they say they’ll be and there’s also the convenience of it being open until late too.
