Vaccine appointments, local area
It's really strange here in Redbridge. Some local people have had their jabs but much older folk are still waiting. There doesn't seem to be one cohesive system that works.
The way I understand it (so far) is that those with health concerns get a text from their GP and book. Those who are fit and well get a letter (or text?) from NHS England.
The online booking system says to wait until you get your 'invite' - yet neighbours have just booked without one and have been accepted - according to date of birth.
There's a local hall where people get their jabs and, apparently, if you 'just turn up' late in the day, you're often successful in getting vaccinated as they have some left over.
It must be easier if you have a car to sit and wait in - but I'm tempted to try that when the snow thaws - if I still haven't heard.
Is it like this everywhere?
