I am telling this story so that other pensioners do not get caught out, I booked in to see a doctor to have the shingles injection, they wrote out a script for me to take to the chemist to order a needle (shingles) then bring the needle back to the Swan Hill Primary Health Medical Centre to have the injection, after speaking to a nurse, they said that I should be getting the shingles needle free of charge as I am a pensioner and the government supply this needle free to pensioners. The script cost me $220.00 at the chemist. I believe this should not have happened…not very happy. I feel the doctor should know better.
