I rang our excellent GP surgery to check & the receptionist said they have been told they must use a land-line number if one is provided and keep ringing until they speak to us. Not allowed to leave a voicemail.
She said they have 2 days next week at the local GP hub. So that implies each GP surgery is allocated certain days. She clarified that OH and I, although we both have health issues, won't be priorities but as both 70+ our turn was coming soon. I'm not expecting it just yet as I know several 90+ who haven't been called, and several 80s who have.
I live in North West Lancashire and am 81 yrs old. Last week I had a phone call on my landline and was asked if I'd like to attend the local Hub for a Covid innoculation "next week".
I arranged for one of my sons to come and drive me to the appointment. We kept the appointment yesterday (Friday), then on the way I had a bit of a panic that we were driving to the correct place. I needn't have worried, there were very large signs on lampposts which had large red red writing pointing the way.
there were about 20 people in front of me. I was surprised that even with the queuing (at 2metre distances) , then the 15 minute wait after the vaccination that I was only out of my house for one hour.
I got a surprise when I read the little card I was given after the injection. I thought I'd be having the Oxford vaccine but saw I'd been given the Pfizer vaccine.
