Covid Jab for my carer but not me!

The other thing that concerns me when I do eventually get called is what happens if there is a long queue? I can stand for approximately a minute or two and thats about it. How are disabled people managing to queue?

Hi @Bingo,
Hope you are doing well. I know when we booked my Mum's, who is my registered carer, there were options to select if you needed assistance, on the online booking system. Hope that helps. Thank you. -

The biggest problem we face if the small number of surgeries who are not doing their job.
The worst I have heard of is that of my neighbour's mother in law who has severe dementia. Her surgery are insisting that she attends to get the vaccination. They are pressurizing my neighbour to drive 60 odd miles to transport his mother in law to the surgery even though both he and his wife are high risk (asthma and immunosuppressants) and have been told by their GP to shield until further notice.
As our (now retired) doctor used to say - 'I just wish all GPs were from the top of their class - unfortunately many are from the bottom'.
Take it from me - I am on the uphill climb of recovering from covid and my wife is still in hospital - You do not want to take any risks getting this bug. It's nasty, vicious and hangs around for ages.
