How The Heck Do I Stop Nhs Texting & Emailing Me

[ladybirder]

to go and get my 2nd and Booster Covid vaccinations? I've had them all.

There is NO Reply to any of the messages. Grrrh! Driving me nuts.

[Tilly2]

Can you block the number?

[Toorak]

Are they maybe referring to a second booster?

I suppose I could try that, thanks Tills:-)

I've had 3 in total Toorak, is that not the lot?

People who are vulnerable are being offered a second booster - have a look at the link

They are rolling out another booster for those with impaired immunity and for over 75s. Do you fit in either category?

Sorry Toorak I am about to rush out for an appointment but the messages Im getting are clearly saying their records have me as having had only one jab.
I will read your link when I get back.

Ladybirder. although the title of these missives is NHS they are actually from your GP.Give him a call and tell him what the problem is.

[StyleMonkey]

Are you sure the messages are from the NHS and not a scammer? There is a lot of scam and spam going around at the moment.

I applied for a Covid vaccination certificate for travel. I tried online and by phone and eventually discovered that the reason I couldn’t have confirmation was because my records were not up to date. The second one had not been recorded and I was advised to contact my GP. As I didn’t have the jabs at the surgery, I was told there was nothing they could do and I then had to contact the centre where I had them. Perhaps the same has happened to you.

[ladybirder]

Back now and thank you to all of you for taking the trouble to reply.
I think Milo's post pretty much sums it up for me as none of my jabs were from the doctor's surgery. They were given at two different hospitals, the first one in December 2020 and a Booster a few weeks ago.

I was given a little card with all my Booster dates on it and told to keep it and show when asked. Must try and find it. Naughty me.

I think I'll take Tilly's advice and block the messages.

[choux]

They probably have you ear-marked as one of their great successes and want to keep you that way, ladybirder ;)

I would just grin and bear it, don't block them as they will continue to send you some important messages on your number.

Danny, They have the surgery details on them so they appear to come from the GP - but they don't. I kept getting these messages when I'd already been jabbed so I called the surgery to get them stopped but they had no idea where they came from and said just ignore them. Not that helpful really.

[pixie374]

My second one wasn't recorded either, Milo, and the GP refused to, as they don't consider AZ effective against omicron, and advised a new course of a different one (I haven't).

[William51]

They have got our records and if you have not had two injections and a booster they will keep reminding you.

"Not that helpful really."

They're not there to monitor your telephony though. I keep getting calls about 'a minor road accident' from some Asian sort but steer clear of noising up my own insurer about it.

[naomi24]

Not so, William. I had both jabs and the booster - and still they kept texting.

[naomi24]

It’s not a scam, Douglas. I think it’s done on some sort of automatic system. I suppose with all the many millions of vaccines given there’s bound to be some hiccups.

Eventually they'll telephone you - as a young man telephoned me this lunchtime. I confirmed I had had 2 jabs of A-Z, yes, in the U.K. and no, I didn't want a Pfizer booster. I explained that they should be more flexible. Then it was OH - so I had to explain yet again (OH ca't hear on the phone any more) about his horrible reaction so, no he wouldn't have a booster.
Would I like to speak to a clinician. No, thank you, what difference would that make?
On to 'flu jabs and how important they are.... I explained patiently (it wasn't his fault and I suspect that he'd rung some pretty vehement anti-vaxxers) that I had had this year's months ago and, in fact, that I had been having 'flu jabs for nigh on 30 years.

I can only assume that this is just some dept. following up on boosters and not connected to the NHS mainframe.

It's those Russians - seeding doubt through the net.....Call Vladimir and tell him to back off.
