Try the GP you are registered with

Or just turn up at the end of the day , state your case...they must have " no shows".....and therefore spare Vaccines....

I agree I think that must happen. My first inoculation at the General Hospital was because of 'no shows'.
My GP phoned me to ask if I could got there immediately. When I said Yes, she said off you go then..
So I didn't actually have an appointment for my first Jab..

Thanks for replies will give it a try,

It might be worth calling Coral Bay Health Clinic / Harbour Medical as I’ve heard they have been vaccinating people that are finding if difficult to get them.

Hi Lotus,
You didn't mention how many weeks have elapsed since your partner had her first AZ jab.
With this vaccine the 2nd jab is normally given between 8 - 12 weeks later.
As others have said best check with your PD (private doctor).

I hope that you can arrange this. Best wishes to your partner. Hope the cancer treatment will be successful.

Success! Managed to get the AZ jab done at the General yesterday,despite millions of people about in and out in 20 minutes,Thankyou Dee,yes it's been a long six years and two life saving ops,another smaller mountain to climb next few weeks hopefully

Hi again ,forgot to say a huge Thankyou to the doctors and staff of the Iasis hospital,twice in the last few years the doctors have saved my partners life,absolutely fantastic! Which is more than can be said for Worcester hospital where it has been a catalogue of one major cock up after another ,and no I,am not accepting the excuse of Covid,thanks again for your help folks

Talking to my over the road neighbor who is Russian and young, also her Mum and her young lad, she is refusing to take the vaccine, I did try to convince her but she was adamant she is not having it...horse to water I guess.

My Russian next door neighbours are also unvaccinated at present,
But apparently, they are going home shortly because the vaccine of their choice, which isn't Sputnik 5 will be available....

Yes, mine was due early July and is now later this week.

Mine is due 18 June the original date they gave me,was hoping they would have called me earlier

Had my second jab on Sunday 06/06 which was not due till the 30/06/21.
No side effects at all!

I had a reaction to my first dose, flu like symptoms, shaking bodily, the last of our treatment was problem free, we had AZ jabs.

Oh yes I am an oldie!

i am going next week for my second. It wasn't brought forward.

I felt nauseous for a couple of hours after my first dose but my second dose (last Friday) was absolutely fine.
