Jumping Vaccine Queue

I can't help feeling upset. My younger sister (59 years) her husband and 2 adult sons have received vaccine from their DIL who is a GP. Apparently vaccine was spare at the end of the day.
I know I should feel happy for them but can't help feeling that there must have been others higher in the queue who could have been given these spare vaccines. I wish my sister hadn't told me her family were vaccinated.

Theoldwrinkley. Please clarify why the admin should be had up for gross negligence..... what about those who didn't turn up - they're the ones who wasted the NHS's time and resources.

I had to cancel on account of a transport problem. I wasn't going to get a bus or a " well-used " taxi to where I had to go. Why, when told not to use public transport, do I get an appointment which is impossible to reach without using either ?

Unless it's the surgery or the local chemist, both where I can walk to, I don't know what'll happen. It doesn't make sense.

I learned today that our surgery has a "list' of people to call in for left-over vaccines. (OH found out during a phone consultation with a doctor.)

I don't know what the criteria are for being put on that list.
It seems that my OH, in the 70-75 age-group can't - they are working their way through the upper age groups in a strict order, with no queue jumping allowed.
I, however, 14 years younger, can go on the list!
