“I went to a pharmacy to grab some co-codamol and happened to ask if they were also doing private flu jabs. They were so I filled out the form.
The pharmacist took me in to do the jab and said they can give me an NHS one because I have long covid and have been quite severely disabled by it.

I nearly cried because I was so grateful.”
