Girne hospital will do it for a small fee unless you are at risk i.e. asthmatic than they do it for free.

That is the state hospital but a friend of a friend was in and out in 5 mins so don't worry about queues. Just try not to go at lunch time!

I thought I'd better have it last week, (back here in Scotland) as am asthmatic. No side effects at all

bar a sore upper arm, but did get a streaming head cold 3 days after, and don't know if it was just

coincidence or if I should have reported it.

Pippie,

Sorry I don't but I do know that the vaccine itself is not expensive so should't cost that much.
