Booster vaccination

there is some confusion, even among GPs.
neighbour who is bed-bound and ECV had letter from nhs about getting third part of original vaccination.
it specifically said this is not the booster jab. told to contact GP.
she needs to wait for someone to bring it to her.
on ringing GPs, they say she is confused, that there is only the booster, no third jab...
heard same thing on radio from other people.
you've got to be quite fit and persistent to wade through all this.

Our health board, Greater Glasgow is using hubs. I had my two vaccinations at my GP surgery, as I was sheilding,, but they are not doing boosters nor flu vaccinations. I need a third vaccination, rather than a booster, but no-one can tell me where or when! Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

My 93 year old neighbour is only getting hers tomorrow as are some other neighbours who are 79. My husband got the text yesterday and is going tomorrow. He is 75. I didn't have a text, I am 72, but as we had our other two on the same day, I went on the site, put my details in and they allowed me to book.
I would never usually do that as it feels like queue jumping but it said I could was eligible. The clinic we booked at had loads of appointments. It seems a shame if people are waiting and the appointments are there going begging. Our GP surgery has never given them.

This is the link I was sent this week. I didn’t actually need to use it as I’d already been phoned to attend a drop in clinic at our GP surgery this afternoon

Our health board (Grampian) has been doing the covid vaccinations instead of the GPs as well as yours, Baggs. We haven't heard yet, but are not at 6 months from the second dose until the end of the month.

My GP surgery is not giving boosters, which I think was a decision by our health authority (Highland). Perhaps other health authorities have made this decision as well?

I think key workers are being targeted first. Which makes sense.

It was on the news this morning regarding this, it’s all to do with how/where you received your first vaccinations apparently.

If it was through your GP they should contact you, if through a NHS centre then you should be able to access booster through NHS website, if you are encountering problems the advice was to ring 119.

Over six months now, and still the website says I am not eligible. No wonder there is poor take up!!

My surgery let me know after the six months were up, and I was given a time slot.You could be proactive and ring your surgery to ask about this, if you are sure about the six months?
