Medicine in England

Last November I paid just over half the Boots' price at Tesco at about £7 or £7.50 (can't remember exactly) AND got an appointment to have the jab done within 24 hours. That's what I call good service at a good price. My GP's surgery put me on a waiting list of several weeks, although I belong to a priority group on 2 counts, i) my profession, ii) living with a father of 94.
