Who's been Vaccinated so far? Have you?

Do they send for us when it's our turn or do we have to make an appointment?

Depends your age, where you live and what you do I believe.

Elderly relatives of mine got called by the doctor with an appointment to go whereas my sister and her colleagues (front line workers) had to book online themselves.

That's been my experience too, most over-65's seem to have been contacted by their GP whereas my wife was sent an email to her NHS email address informing that the vaccine was available to staff in her Trust area, and had to contact to book.

People do "slip through the net" though and I've heard of elderly people (even 85+ year olds) having to chase up their GP for an appointment, having heard nothing. Sometimes will be due to outdated contact details held by the GP, sometimes administrative errors. It's inevitable really when something is being done on a scale of millions.

I think I was in the last category to receive it, which I didn't mind. I just don't know if they'll send for me or not, because if not then I probably won't end up taking it, if it's left down to me, I tend to put things off.

To be honest, I don't ever watch the mainstream media, so I don't have much of a clue what's going on, the entire subject of Covid, bores me immensely.

My Dad got a call from a booking line and then received a letter a week after he had had the jab from his own GP.

Ring your GP and they’ll probably give you an appointment in the next week or so.

That’s scary given teenagers are mixing freely out of school .... masks are rarely worn ..

I think my Mother has, I know my mother's husband went and had his today. My Dad has probably had his, he's almost 75. But I haven't spoken with him in over a month. I might give him a text later.
