Twelve weeks on, Mum still hasn't been called for second jab!

I bet the OP wished she never asked!

Blue Sky. Yes??

Why the unkind comments and lack of understanding to a perfectly reasonable question? MamaCaz I do hope your Mum has her second jab soon. I’d be very concerned on my mother’s behalf too. Definitely contact her GP if you don’t hear.

Quite - I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that any perceived criticism of the vaccine roll out is to be treated as an act of high treason ?

I don't know about anyone else but my comments were nothing to do with this being "perceived criticism" of the vaccine rollout. Was that what prompted the replies of Patsy70 and suziewoozie?

This will sort itself out. We are not on rationing, our children have not been sent to the countryside and no one is dropping bombs on us albeit Johnson has managed to lose twice the number of citizens as were killed in the Blitz. I think we can all understand MamaCaz's mother having a conversation with her about it but the only identified "angry" person on here is MamaCaz's mother (read the OP).

I cannot, for the life of me, think why suggesting anger is not the way to go, nor is plaguing the GP surgery or the MP is seen as either "rude" or that oft trotted out adjective, "unkind". If MamaCaz thinks her mother has not understood the situation one call to the GP to ask for information - not demand the vaccine they don't appear to have - is all that is needed.

Such a silly fuss about something that, at the moment of posting the OP, could not be changed.

Before someone chooses to jump down my throat I did not mean MamaCaz was being silly, after all, she was initially only asking if this was widespread. That seems like useful research to me.

The latest from Mum's surgery is that they have now secured the next batch of the vaccine (or words to that effect, according to Mum) and her second dose will probably be given next Sunday (nearly 14 weeks after the first), but they can't give her an actual appointment yet as the clinic hasn't been finalized yet (whatever that means).

My dad who’s 93 had his first jab in January and is still waiting for his second jab appointment. His surgery is useless, but his neighbour who’s a doctor will get him in for a second jab I’m sure. He feels forgotten about.

That is really good news MamaCaz.

Great news MamaCaz.
