Observer II Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Anyone else having difficulty getting the jab ? I received a written reminder from the NHS, for the "Spring" innoculation. So I rang my GP to arrange for it, and was told they were running late due to insufficient stock of the vax. I rang again, given that it supposed to be a Spring injection and we're nearly into Summer, and was basically told to contact the NHS to arrange. Rang 119, started to talk to someone, who told me to wait, but then didn't continue the call. I'll try again, but I get the impression that the so-called roll out isn't rolling, and like most things organisational nowadays it's a mess. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 PS - Got through on 119 and booked a jab - guess where ? At the chemist right next door to the GPs surgery ! So why didn't the GPs reception refer me to the Chemist in the first place ? 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 I’ve just taken my brother for his jab at a walk-in centre in Partington and he was told he didn’t need an appointment. He was in and out within two minutes and they even gave him a choice of vaccination types. The only downside was they’d run out of lollypops. 😊 A few of my friends have opted to not have the jab this time claiming they believe they’ve built up enough immunity. I reminded then that the last one that said that to me ended up dying from it. Bill 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 (edited) i shall await agog to see if my doctors contacts me to book mine. might be a letter, might be an email or most probably a text message. where and when i am not to bothered about don't even care which vaccine they use as long as it does the job. last time i got the flu and the covid jabs at the same time. i felt like a voodoo doll afterwards, got up next morning and looked a bit like one as well as both arms stiff and aching....🧟♂️ edit as i have just had a look on my doctors website and apparently i am too young for both the spring covid booster and the shingles jab as well. i guess i will have to wait a few more years if i survive that long...😷 Edited April 30 by Evil Sid new information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 Had the covid jab, then went next door to the Gps surgery to bollock the receptionist, who told me they were now providing jabs ! The bollocking went completely over her head, and she clearly didn't give a toss - such is the state of our workforce today. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
