Willow - many GP's are referring patients to hospital for swabs for H1N1 - did you have the flu shot this year?? It *shoud* cover you for influenza A. Just check with your GP before you go. They may be referring to the hospital. Also, if you need to go to the hospital, ring first!!!!!!! They are trying to minimise H1N1 transfer and some have clinics through the day for swabs if the volume demands it. If there is a concern, they should be having a priority procedure in place.
