I agree with both the posts above, there has been no information sent out to Asthma or COPD sufferers in Scotland. I also have the flu jab and pneumonia one as well and have had a really bad Asthma attack when I was rushed to hospital. It is a bit worrying that our GPs have not given us guidance as to the best way forward.

It's take your inhalers as prescribed by your GP and don't stop them, if you feel any changes phone your GP or you feel your having an attack call 999. This is what I was advised to do.
