Guessing she was joking given they’re both well over 60 ?

Our son is 34 ( in Florida) and scheduled for his next week

Seems to be by area here too. Our surgery was booking in any age a couple weeks back as got all over 35s done apparently. Yet seems, some places are only onto 55s and such

I got my letter sent to my scottish address, my vaccine is the 14th april up in scotland.


I went to a vaccine centre inside the crystal palace ground on Wednesday to see if I could get it.done down here..

The actual head doctor came out and said he would do it there and then..

I politely declined, stating I had 3 other households to visit. Yet i left him assured, that i was assured that i could walk into any vac centre down here and get it done.

I called the nhs Scotland number when I got home that night, and can only say I was met by a yawning helpless mess, that could only say we have no correspondence records with nhs england..

Are you registered with a GP here Parm, they might be able to help? Mr C registered 6 weeks ago and is still waiting for his number to be issued

I didn't want to wait, my GP is way too slow
I did it online as soon as I got my letter from the NHS

We will book it online, he is not due yet as under 50, the problem is he has never registered with a GP so does not have NHS number which you need to book online, so hence the registration after all these year in the UK

i never remember my nhs number, so its not needed to book, they gave it to me on vaccination day and i promptly forgot it again

[Cherie]

Can I just say the Drs receptionist has been quite disbelieving as well, like sorry for being in good health

He has literally had two tetanus jabs at A and E and that’s it

Yes, he should register with a local gp
Then he will get an NHS number.

If you got a letter you can book your appointment online.
They have a website.

That’s only for England though, if he has a Scottish NHS number he can’t do it

[user104658]

You could just have got it done parm, it takes like 3 minutes and any side effects usually wouldn’t come until the next day so you’d have been fine to go back to work

a big breakthrough here now, it seems we haven't been giving the correct amounts of the AZ vaccine, but way too much in one jab no wonder there was blood clot problem and that calls itself doctors over here

Maybe that's what's causing the blood clots.
Wrong dosage?
Because here in the UK we haven't had major problems with it.

my GP hub is only doing the elderly and vulnerable, they just direct you to your nearest vaccination centre. Anyone should be able to book in at any vaccination centre, provided they are within an eligible group

Yes. It's faster and easier to do it online.

thrombosis experts furious about astrazeneca vaccine halt


‘If you ignore the experts, you are verging on arrogance,’ professor Hugo ten Cate told the Volkskrant. ‘I am becoming increasingly angry about how this has happened.’

‘All my colleagues are baffled,’ thrombosis expert Saskia Middeldorp told broadcaster NOS. ‘It is as if the people who decide this don’t realize the implications for our vaccination programme.’

Side effects

The decision to again halt the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine follows a report by side effects monitoring group Lareb on Friday, which said that one Dutch woman has died after being given the jab although no link has yet been shown with her symptoms.

In total, Lareb has had five reports of thrombosis seven to 10 days after the AstraZeneca injection, all involving women aged 25 to 65. Some 400,000 people were given the AstraZeneca vaccine during the period the problems were reported.

Similar reports have been made elsewhere in Europe, and European scientists suggest the vaccine could result in a severe reaction by the immune system.

The European Medicines Agency is due to give its position on Wednesday. ‘And if it gives the green light, how are doctors going to explain that the vaccine is safe after all?’ Kamphuisen said.

This is what makes me think there has to be a large political element to all of it. If actual thrombosis experts are saying there’s nothing to indicate the vaccine isn’t safe in terms of blood clots, who IS making that decision? How can they possibly be more qualified than the actual experts in that area? And if they’re not qualified, what is going on?

No

this just confirms that it doesn't cause thrombosis, but that the blood clots are from something else, makes me think a bad batch or bad delivery, or what i earlier said and what some doctors here stupidly did administering the wrong dosage, too much than they had to give (and i think the latter)

we also had some worries on how cool the doses had to be kept, also bit confused regarding that, so maybe ours were kept not cold enough or too cold

The blood clot experts are literally saying that the idea that the vaccines are causing blood clots - for any reason, be that dosage, storage, batch or anything else - is not coming from them... so who is it coming from?

Thrombosis is just the medical term for blood clot.
