I just ask because when I used the NHS to book my mums jab you had to book both vaccinations at the same time. It's highly likely, I have a mate who works in an IT department at a hospital and uniformity across any systems is basically non-existent from one region to another. My areas practices are being covered by accuRx but it wouldnt surprise me to learn the admin is being carried out by several outsourced firms. I was also only able to book my first jab.

DavidB6937 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 They're definitely being managed differently. My wife works for the local hospital and she's only had her first one booked, and anyone I know that's had it round here only had the first one booked too. Bit confusing but hey one is better than none. Quote

I've been looking online but can't find any information ; does anyone know if EU citizens granted Settled Status will eventually be offered the vaccine once they've finished those of us with "underlying medical conditions"?

Super well organised, but I was saddened by the lack of snacks. Not even a little cup of water or a couple of plain digestives. Disappointing. You aren’t in the Midlands are you? Maybe someone had theirs before you and nabbed all the biscuits. Quote

With the first batch of vaccinations they were booking people in for both because three-weeks apart was still the plan. One of the big pains of switching to the 12-week-gap was GPs having to cancel appointments, which took ages because it was old folk who didn't read e-mail and kept you nattering for ages on the phone.

Maybe you got in before they changed it all. As of a few days ago we where all dumped in tier 6. Ive had multiple hospital stays so im hoping im still ok. Its very odd to offer people flu vaccines but decide no risk from covid Edited February 16, 2021 by quote the raven Quote
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Shielding was meant to end on the 21st, but it's now been extended until March 31st, regardless of whether or not the shielding person has been vaccinated. So everyone getting their jabs over the last couple of weeks, thinking they'd at least be a bit more comfortable being out and about after this weekend, now gets the pleasure of having to stop inside for the best part of another 6 weeks. Fucking urgh. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 17, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 17, 2021 Perhaps there are more glitches in the system than I think Quote
Paid Members quote the raven Posted February 17, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Just had a couple of mates get their vaccine via asthma diagnosis. It does seem they changed the criteria after already sending out some letters. Fuck my luck Edited February 17, 2021 by quote the raven Quote

No cough and I don’t think I’ve lost my sense of smell/taste, but I really don’t feel well. My temp is currently 39.8 but I’m shaking with cold. Whats most odd, is neither of us have been anywhere at all, as we’ve both been shielding since March. The only contact we have is the weekly Asda delivery on a Friday and the occasional bit of mail. All the shopping is disinfected when it comes, we even wear masks at the door. 111 were absolutely fantastic and have suggested I could have the ‘Rona given my symptoms. So now I can’t leave the spare room or have any contact with my wife until I can prove I don’t have it. I keep telling myself I can’t have it given how reclusive we’ve both been, but then I’ve caught something from somewhere so maybe it is COVID. My main worry now is the wife, given her health. Hope you all ok dude, keep us updated. Quote
