With the date of flu vaccinations already pushed back, an Invercargill general practice is hoping to spare its staff the abuse they suffered when flu jabs were in short supply in Southland in 2020.
An Invercargill general practice is pre-emptively warning patients about possible flu vaccination delays because of the flack its staff copped last year. Patients ringing Queens Park General Practice during office hours will hear an automated message saying that despite multiple assurances from the Ministry of Health that flu vaccinations would be ready on time “yet again this year, we have been let down”. “Please take issues up with the Government or the Ministry of Health, not our staff,” the message continues.
