Hello fellow shielders! Has anybody been offered the vaccination yet?

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 

    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.

  • 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,

    I've just been called this afternoon for an appointment on Friday.  I've got to have bloods done on Wednesday, but hopefully they'll be ok and I can have the vaccine.  I'm very excited to have it!

  • 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 .
