Above.

Perfect timing as with luck there's a couple of events coming up in March that I'd like to attend.

Anyone else got their date yet? Or have you already had the first and/or even second ones?

    Senior management gets hers tomorrow and the second dose on 23rd April, but the advice is that you still need to follow all the rules inc. wearing a mask and social distancing and staying at home.
     It seems very unlikely that any events will be taking place in March i'm afraid as according to todays news we could still be in full or partial lockdown until April.
    Whilst as of today 10.5 million people have had their first jab around 57 million haven't so whilst it's been a huge achievement there's a long long way to go.

    Not had mine yet 
    Did get a letter yesterday telling me I would get an appointment soon through my gp 

    What a waste of money from the NHS a 2 page letter just to say i would be contacted 

    I know nhs have and are amazing but sometimes I do question their practices and management

    Again it's the consistency and that's down to management of the whole nhs all hospitals   hps  etc should use same methods of communication 

    I get appointment letters, after often making the appt by phone   then get letter  then get text reminder , have to book transport which currently is like trying to get bloodout of stone despite having needing if for every appt for the last 3 years

    senior management had her first jab on fri. and will get her second same place same time on 23/4, it was all quite simple really a week ago got a text with a link to make the appt. took all of 5 minutes, when she turned up for the jab she was in and out in 5 minutes.
