Has anyone asked their GP which group they're in for the vaccine?

Swatteam

hi all just a quick question, has anyone asked their own gp which group  they were in for the vaccine? Mine says wait till you get your invite,,,, but that's not what I asked.

Hi and welcome 

Sorry not asked the question but there are plenty of info on internet for you to see what group you would be in by answering a few questions 

Just search covid vaccine groups 

Hope this helps 

Swatteam

Thank you i know which group I am in but my gp obviously doesn't.

I had a text message from Drs to call them to make appointment and it was next day, I think that might of been due to cancellations, the nurse said 1500 were booked in that day at the center, so they are getting through them.

@Sandy_123 very good hope all goes well .I suppose different areas have a different approach

@gillian72 hi my husband also got those letters so its just a matter of time before he get his invite, I had just came out of hospital the week before the first lockdow I wasn't allowed to do anything for 6 weeks I had a silent heart attack at Xmas,I have not stopped hospital appointments throughout this pandemic ended up having emergency surgery in November. But I have never once had a letter to shield just makes me wonder is all

Swatteam

Hi @gillian72 sorry i took so long to reply to you. I haven't had a stent in my heart . I had a total hysterectomy in March, thats how my oncologist found out as I had ecg etc before my op. My own gp just dismissed it.. infact his reply was " supposedly ". I had to go back to hospital in june for my bowel problems scans phone calls etc October came i was told I had this rare thing going on in my stomach and needed more surgery within 3 weeks I had it done 
I had mesenteric angio, coeliac and sma stenting my blood vessels /arteries were blocked I had 2 stents and they cleaned 1 more.sorry if I didn't say what ops I had but its the first time I've actually spoke/wrote about it
