I'm lucky that my GP clinic emailed when I became eligible for the vaccine. But not everyone visits a GP regularly and too many are unaware of the 12 month restriction.
I'd love to see the vaccination window expanded to two or even three years, to mop up those people who qualified but either didn't know or simply forgot.

@BobLefridge Or just let all the oldies have it whenever they first realise it's important? Sometimes this means going against the advice of their GP. Yeah, I know, if your GP says you don't need a vaccine that even stingy old Pharmac reckons has enough evidence of efficacy they are prepared to pay for it, then you need a new GP. But by the time you work it out the window has probably closed. @thomasbeagle @thirzajane
