I registered with a new place back in January, did it all online, no phone calls etc. didn't get a letter but a text with a booking link. Why are they farting about with letters? No idea but I'm not impressed and regret moving now if I am going to have to keep chasing them up for standard issues. I don't usually go to the doctors and have not even met any new doctor from that surgery. I've only attended once to see the nurse to get the flu jab which I chased up. Maybe they are short of supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took my forms, registered me and sent me a link into their system within a week of taking my forms in. I was worried about getting the nudge, but it all got sorted automatically and I got to book up via a special queuing system within 1 week. Funny thing is the NHS vaccination website doesn't even recognise my NHS number, although FindMyNHSNumber gets it just fine. My guess is the NHS website uses your DOB as a cutoff. But you might consider trying it and seeing what happens. They appear to be very old school boomer focused if you ask me. Which NHS vanccination website did you look up with your NHS number? I could try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are in the sweetspot between GenX and Boomer. If you went to uni you will have had all the perks and if you started work early enough enrolled into a final salary scheme. I'm GenX but missed out on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think i hap whooping cough but pretty sure i had smallpox too(born late 60's). I have the tell tell small pox circular scar about 1/2" in diameter on the underside of my left arm between bicep and armpit. Like a circular ring of 20+ needle pricks.

I guess I can chalk it up alongside "tolerating" being provided with clean, fresh water direct to my house. And there is no change in the "threat" posed by children - that's a lie you have made up. Nobody pretends it's 100% "safe" for anyone at work during COVID, including teachers - that's a lie you've made up. Everything is a risk/return trade off. Everyone states clearly that this lockdown ending will result in increased infections, of course it will, because more human contact = more infections. And finally, this is a TRIAL to SEE WHETHER IT HELPS to vaccinate children. If it doesn't, it won't continue. You try, and you lie, to find conspiracy.. Just stop it.

Gigantic Purple Slug Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Problem is that the more people that appear to get safely vaccinated, the more nuts the anti vaxx claims are going to look (and will get). It's like conspiracy theorists, you can always expand the conspiracy to take into account new evidence. It offers the luxury of never being wrong (unless you catch covid and die from it of course).

Bruce Banner Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Those who want to be vaccinated will be vaccinated, those who don't, won't.
