    As long as you got it. we get ours delivered so don't have that problem not a very good system if they can't get volunteers for where you live. Hope you told the phamacy off  why don't you sign up for delivery? Makes things a lot easier.
    I've been looking into those online pharmacies that link with the GP but not sure how good they are.

    I've just had another shielding letter come today, I've had the jab, in any case I still have to go Drs for Injections and blood tests and to chemist, so no point really, just have to be careful as the letter says I'm in high risk group of getting poorly with covid because of my lungs.

    It’s all you can do, be careful and take precautions to reduce the risk.

    @Sandy_123 you would think if people are shielding  that they would do the same lol ? doesn't make sense does it x

    Well a quick update i never did get speak to a gp or anyone for that matter but I went onto the nhs app yesterday and booked 1st vaccine I had it earlier.  Today I received the invitation for the vaccine but it said because I am a carer. So when does my health conditions come into anything?

    By the sounds of it your GP thought your health conditions didn’t increase your risk and you have been invited because you have caring responsibilities.

    @MarkN88 probably but that's not following rules set out for getting the jab for him to put me forward under the carers he is ignoring my health but he is always doing that
    If you knew what I've got then you would probably agree with me but thanks for the reply
