I realised I needed to shield because I'm on immuno suppressants, so I did from about 15 March. I couldn't get a supermarket delivery slot because I hadn't had the shielding letter. My GP and Consultant both responded to my query by saying I needed to be very careful but wasn't in the shielding category.
I then received the shielding letter dated 21 April. The upside of this was tesco contacted me to say I was now on their priority list. Its been so good not to have to go into supermarkets, which felt very scary to me.
I suspect given the size of the task for medics in going through their patient list to identify the shielding group, that some mistakes will happen. I hope if I'm removed from the shielding list, I don't lose the supermarket deliveries.
