We are going on Thursday, but it is for the normal annual flu vaccine, the first
H1N1 vaccination is 2 weeks later and the final H1N1 vaccination is 2 weeks
after that.

Two shots?  We're getting one!  Seasonal flu jabs started a couple of weeks 
ago but have been put on hold while the mad rush for h1n1 is on.  If I time 
it right, I'll be able to get both at the same time.

It's maybe not a good idea to have both at the same time. I suppose they know if
it is OK. I was ill after a cocktail of shots prior going to S America at short
notice. I had flu symptoms. :o) They should have been given over a period of 3
weeks.

What's on offer here is definitely two shots with a two week interval between
shots.
