Excited And Disappointed

[Vagus]

All in thirty seconds..
Got a letter through just now with COVID printed on it and thought great, my jab appointment!
Nope. Just another letter telling me I’m still considered very vulnerable and what I should and shouldn’t be doing.
Made me realise just how much I’m looking forward to getting jabbed.

[bednobs]

I had one of them from Matt hancock :(

[Mamyalynne]

Take heart from the fact you haven't dropped off the radar and are still in the system.

[Rosie29]

I hope your jab appt comes soon Vagus. A big post code variation I think. Hang on in there and keep cooking !

[Buenchico]

I keep getting those too. They've never made any difference to what I do or don't do. (I still do my own shopping but I just try to limit my number of trips to the shops and only go when they're fairly quiet).

I don't think that I'm 'extremely vulnerable' any longer anyway, as my chemo finished four months ago and my immune system should be getting back to normal fairly soon. However if it gets me pushed a bit further up the list for vaccination, I'm not complaining ;-)

I suspect that my vaccination appointment might not come by letter anyway. The one for my flu jab was sent by text.

same old same old- I got no 2 (only) yesterday full of fine phrases
jabber jabber you might say

oh tee vee = Boris is doing his "well done!" some communities
Hangmans bottom Cambridgeshire has done in 90 % old people sorry done 90% in the last week

Jabbingham Suffolk has claimed 85% injected
whilst Robbers' den nicknamed "stick them up!" is up to 70%

Lol, I know. Hubby was the same today. Post came and he comes in waving a letter saying I've got my appointment. We crowded around and what a big disappointment.
He has had 3 of these shielding letters in the past months. Each one over 4 pages long, what a waste of time & money.

[Vagus]

That’s the positive from getting it mamy, to know I’m still on the list, you’re right.
I get emails too, Sharon, does seems a waste of paper and postage to send out four page letters. And like you Chris, I’m not doing anything different to what I was doing last March.
Rosie, I don’t know how old you are but are you jabbed yet?

[emmie]

the only thing i received was the GP surgery saying don't call us about the vaccination, so no idea when mine will be.

[Mamyalynne]

I get those every day Emmie.

[emmie]

this was about a month ago, i haven't heard anything since. apparently our local centre round the corner from me doing them.

[emmie]

local health centre.....

[DTCwordfan]

text in yesterday from my surgery, one of two in a Health Centre saying that 3500 vaccinations had taken place through them - or put it this way, the equivalent of 12% of the Truro population or 10% of all registered patients. I would think that, at this stage, this is pretty good going - and then there are the smaller 'village/small town' practices to add to the pile.

[Vagus]

Which group up are you in emmie, for the jab?

[andres]

Bit disappointed. Should have had my second jab Tuesday but it has been put back . Date will be sent to me next week. Never mind ,someone else will get their first jab on Tuesday.

[emmie]

not sure vagus, too young still at 66 i guess for just yet.

[emmie]

am in the capital, not that makes a difference...

[Smowball]

I’ve had three of the same letter.

[emmie]

shameful waste of paper, can't they send texts instead -

[Arrods]

My wife's Covid letter was signed by 'Matt' - should I be worried?

BTW, does anyone know how they decide who is vulnerable?

[margarettom]

I had a text to say I would be getting a letter, which I haven’t had yet. It is a waste of money, as there is no new information really from the previous 2.
