Due to having breast cancer in both breasts I’ve had my lymph nodes removed and cannot have vaccinations in my arms. Only a nurse or qualified medic can administer in the thigh and I have been unable to locate someone able to do it. All available vaccination sites are at pharmacies who can’t do it. My GP surgery doesn’t have vaccination supplies and can’t advise where to go despite my breast care nurse writing to them for help. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution please?
