ParadiseLost,
Not sure if you chose your name from Milton's poem or from the British rock band! Either way, if you live in Wales you may like to know that the Welsh Assembly has announced that all carers under the age of 65 years are entitled to a free influenza injection!. This is at your GPs discretion!. You may wish to contact Sonia Lloyd-Williams to discuss these matters on - phone: (01685) 353900 Email: sonia!.lloyd-williams@vamt!.net !. If, however, you do not live in Wales, this link may be of interest!.
