Suddenly last Tuesday evening I had a phone call asking me to attend the local GP surgery for my Covid inoculation, quite a surprise as I did not seem to be in any of the top 4 tranches of those heading the list – over 70 but without any underlying health conditions – anyway happy to go and get it.
I have read quite a bit about the seemingly random way that parts of the country are getting their vaccination program rolling out – sometimes a bit chaotic. All I can say is that my local GP was well organised and well staffed using a local, to the surgery, Salvation Army hall for its service delivery.
Overall from leaving the house to having the ‘jab’, including a mandatory 15 minute post-jab wait total time was around 35 minutes.
I was given the Pfizer vaccine, so at some stage I guess I will receive a call for the second dose; however, according to the many signs at the vaccination centre, they are still waiting for the UK government to say when that will be.
Conversely a family Aunt who is over 83 and lives in Cheshire is still waiting for her appointment, a strange state of affairs.
