Good evening all,
I’m hopefully having some reconstructive surgery in February. I’m in the shielding group and I’d feel more confident going into hospital if I’ve had my first vaccination.
I know it’s going to happen soon, but I just wondered whether anyone has been called for theirs?
Thanks,

Hi Sarah1111
A few weeks ago my GP told me I was on the shielding list and would get a call for a vaccine appt within a week or so. But their website says they’ve now delayed contacting groups 3&4 as they’ve been struggling with supplies in order to complete the over 80s so I guess it’s going to take a little while longer for me but in theory we should be done by mid-Feb if Boris is to be believed!
I hope you manage to get yours done before your surgery and that it all goes well.

In NE hubby group 75 I'm shielded no invites yet .
Thank you everyone,
It looks like they’re working through the categories pretty quickly. I just got my hopes up last week when Boris announced they were starting to contact groups 3 and 4.
Take care,

Hello everyone
Hope you’re all managing to stay cosy ? Though my hot flushes are keeping me roasting
My oncologist told me it would likey be June before I hear anything though my Breast Cancer Nurse has said April. I’m in Scotland so I have a feeling it’s going to be later rather than sooner .
