Ness Dec 2020 6:11pm, 12 Dec 2020 12,755 posts	0 Ness I find it interesting that I got an invite for a flu jab and have had it. Mr Ness is registered with the same GP as me but because he’s 66 he hasn’t had a letter.

🎄FestiveMedals🎄 Dec 2020 7:12pm, 12 Dec 2020 18,902 posts	0 🎄FestiveMedals🎄 At our medical practice, those aged 65+ were invited personally by letter and when they were done, there was a general text sent out to 50-64 yos inviting us to make an appointment. We got another text yesterday saying there are a limited number of vaccines left for a final clinic next Thursday and anyone who hasn't had it should contact them. I don't know how they contact those that they haven't got mobile numbers for. I'm assuming they either write or phone 🤷‍♀️

um 🎄 Dec 2020 7:17pm, 12 Dec 2020 3,843 posts	0 um 🎄 Odd Ness, if 66, shouldn't he have been called up in the first wave? (I got a ≥65 email at the beginning of Oct, my wife got a phone call this week for a jab today as part of the ≥60 wave, or whatever the next wave was) I was puzzled though. I hear some got a pneumonia jab as well. I wasn't offered that. Was that only for specific risks? Or should I enquire about it?

Merry Fizzmas :-) Dec 2020 7:32pm, 12 Dec 2020 4,893 posts	0 Merry Fizzmas :-) Our surgery website says over 65’s should contact them now for appointment. Under that, don’t call us, we’ll text you.

LullayLulLazyDaisy Dec 2020 7:43pm, 12 Dec 2020 31,963 posts	0 LullayLulLazyDaisy Um, OH and I had the pneumonia jab when we turned 65. I should give your surgery a call if you're in the age group.
