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

@Swatteam wait is all any of us can do really, but they are getting through them at an amazing speed.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
-
@woodbine not my area and definitely not in the proper groups .
-
I can't comment on areas but they are vaccinating over half a million people a day, which is an amazing achievement.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

@woodbine no dought they are, only when they priorities people and do it properly 52 male works no underlying health conditions is that what you call prioritising? But thats just my opion
-
Unfortunately one individual is never going to change the order they vaccinate. You’ll need to be patient.
-
@MarkN88 I could name a few but just 1 was an example of the area and their system .so whats the point.

@woodbine I am usually quite patient the 2 x 52yr 1 is a driving instructor other 1is in demolition both friends of ours their gp phoned his wife at 8.30 friday morning for their vaccine appointment at 7.20. So it wasn't a leftover vaccine either just makes me wonder is all

@woodbine Thank you anyway
-
I have ME and although MS fits into group 6 ME doesn't. No-one knows why including the ME association! The ME association and other charities have written to Matt Hancock and he has just passed the buck and says he has nothing to do with it. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens. If it does get included I will get my vaccine sometime this month but if not I will probably have to wait another couple of months. The priority list is so confusing!

@deb74 hi deb74, hopefully you will get it pretty quick I was surprised on how many people have had there 1st vaccine. Over 20 million people upto now. Sorry I can't help you .

I am in group 6 due to my cerebral palsy. I had my vaccine last week, after calling my G.P. as a friendly reminder.
The priority list is now more specific. For example, I have CP which puts me in group 6, if another person with CP has other mitigating factors such as; from the BAME community, diabetes, high BMI or have a postcode from an economically deprived area, they would be vaccinated before me.Scope

@Richard_Scope Thank you.

I got a phone call from my doctor a couple of days ago and he has booked mine for next Thursday.
-
@deb74 very good news
-
My doctor must have thought I was vulnerable enough to put me into group 6!
-
@deb74 you are lucky not many people get an invite personally
-
Hi @Swatteam. Everyone I know who has had the jab has been phoned by there doctors surgery. It could be because we live in a small town in Wales though. Also my doctors is in a village 20 minutes drive from where I live.
-
@deb74 probably , everyone I know has had a phone call from gp. I didn't although I've had my first vaccine I got a letter off NHS with an invite after I had it for being a carer .
