Vaccination

I wonder if the chap purposely put down wrong info on the form so he couldn't be contacted ... if so he/she could be in for a fine as well so no wonder he/she is hiding!

From what I read., the sample was sent in without the form completed. So the person was happy to engage in providing a sample but failed to complete paperwork
 
We had surge testing here in Bristol. Just collect a home kit and drop it back at the library, no contact with people. To register the test, you had to do it online. The questionnaire was lengthy and tedious, involved lots of questions about ethnicity and so in and involved scanning of two bar codes. My husband couldn’t cope with it and gave up so I did his for him as well as my own.
I can imagine this happening to others and this is why they don’t know whose test it was.
As it happens, we did ours on February 12 and I had no result.
So today, as requested by government through the news, I tried to call through 119.
The call system menu had no obvious choices and dropped me out 3 times. I am persistent so I did not give up but that person they are looking for will easliy do so.
I chose a random menu option in order to speak to someone. I explained why I had called which he didn’t understand so moved me up to a case worker.
She said that she know nothing about the request for people to contact and if I was not on the flight she was not interested.
They just said on the TV news conference that 119 are standing by - rubbish!
Now I know that I am not the person that they are looking for as I have had a second test for which I did get the result.

My brother ,not quite 57, Greater London, just been called. Fit as a fiddle. Hasn't been to docs in years so doing well here with vax programme
 
Just a little warning If you have the Phizer My cousin wife had it felt achy , felt sick , lasts about 3 days I had the Astra Zeneca and had the same symptoms , again went after 3 days , just warning in case anybody feels a bit rough after a short time of having it
 
Fortunately I have had my first vaccination as I am on the clinically extremely vulnerable list . I received It at the beginning of February after receiving a text from my gps surgery late one night inviting me to book it. Very efficient service and thanks to those many kind people involved in the process. After having this first jab I asked the obvious question of when will I get my second one? to be told they would be in touch. A friend of mine who is not clinically extremely vulnerable went on line yesterday and successfully booked both his first and second vaccines . I tried the same on line booking service to see if I could firm up a date for my second jab and relieve the anxiety of not knowing. It would not let me and referred me back to my GP surgery. Guess that once your in that system of booking that’s where you stay? Don’t mean to sound selfish or ungrateful but would really have liked to have a date for my second jab . Has anyone else on here experienced this issue?

I would have thought it wouldn't be that difficult to trace him/her, the airline will have the details of everyone on the flight, assuming all the others filled in their details correctly you are left with the person they are looking for.

I think the issue is where he/she has gone to, I'm sure I heard something on the telly about the person not being at the location they'd stated or something like that.
 
Rubbish in Wales , no vaccine available where I live , 3 months off 65 and no chance, he will open up the country and we have no protection xx

My surgery booked both jabs but FIL's surgery only book the first one. It is up to the surgery to work out how they do it. Also when I was given the second date I was told it is only a provisional date, and may change depending on availability

I've just checked and hubby is eligible (he's 64) but I'm not (only 57) so I'll book him in.

Go with him Minxy Girl, they may well take pity on you and give you a jab especially if you say you are his carer ;).

Just to say that people should keep trying booking for an appointment closer, it changes all the time.

S/he should 'give themselves up' otherwise there'll be no mitigation to the £10k fine heading their way.

Yep, had my first one 5 weeks ago and when I asked the lady with the hyperdeemic nerdle she told me my health centre would contact me with a date for the second one. Not worried; still 7 weeks to go.
 
Absolutely nothing that I am aware of for Wales... Tried for over an hour to reach our GP today (Hawarden) about my own jab to get feedback on when it would be my turn (57 with asthma) and got to #1 on the list but they simply don't answer... Emailed the surgery, radio silence, Tweeted Mark Drakeford and his cronies... radio silence

SWMBO managed to reach the GP a few weeks ago about hers and they said "why are you asking, you're only 55".... "because I have cancer" was her reply.... "oh, in that case you can have an appointment tomorrow"

I'm actually pretty sorry we moved here at this point as I feel we are living in the dark ages compared to 10 minutes away across the border but we didn't foresee these issues.... For any other health treatment we can elect to be treated in England but not it seems for the vaccine...

Pissed isn't the word... If you read the Welsh government's press they are pulling trees up re the pace of vaccinations but I call it bullshit

EDIT, our GP actually responded to my email and confirmed they are still dealing with the over 65’s... ridiculous considering the size of the population. The surgery are “following government guidelines” which means that Mark Drakeford has had the chicken bones out again

The NHS vaccination website has been taking bookings from anyone over 60 since Monday.

I thought that! but is worrying as would mean he/she was not likely to be planning to keep to quarantine either?

That’s what annoys me most, bragging they are ahead, but my postman has just told me I will get mine next week, he made my day x

I have found an old fashioned letter to our doctor works well, if we phone often the message does not get passed on, our surgery has no email available for us to use, so I type a letter and put it in their letterbox. I don't know if it is because they find it harder to ignore something with a paper trail, or if it just gets to the doctor but always had a good response to a letter.
 
My wife and I had our invites for our second vaccinations yesterday for appointments at 10.10 am this morning.
Everything went like “ clockwork “ the most boring aspect is the 15 minute wait to make sure one does’nt keel over.

Boris and his team has had a lot of flack thrown at them for a lot of learning mistakes whilst they had to try to support the country financially and try to control this dreadful virus without the help of the Coviots, but I give them 10 out of 10 for investing in the research and distribution of the vaccines, I appreciate everyone involved in hopefully bringing this pandemic to a manageable outcome.

If tomorrow the Chancellor has to raise my HMRC tax rates a bit, a few pence on fuel, alcohol, I will not grumble about it.

Went online last night to try and sort my jab out. Didnt know my NHS number so it said enter your name, the site didn't recognise the spelling of my first name, so that was that. First thing this morning, Val tried again and I got offered a few options, Durham, Bishop Auckland, Morecambe, Ulverston and Lancaster. None of them are less than 70 miles each way from my address. I plumped for Lancaster at 6:30pm tomorrow as it's an easy 80 mile dash each way on the M6 and once I'd selected that, Newcastle (120 mile round trip) came up as an option for my second jab. I'm pleased I'm getting the jab and it's an opportunity to give the car a decent run out, but how many others would be able to do this ?
About 20 minutes after I'd finished, the Postie arrived with my letter saying I was eligible and to go online to book !
