Pretty sure it's not just for over 70's.
They've asked all over 70's who haven't been vaccinated to use the number, but that doesn't mean others can't. Thats my understanding.
Yep, if you're in the CEV category you can phone 119, or go onto the NHS website to book.
Or do what I did - phoned the GP and asked why I hadn't heard anything after receiving my vaccination appointment letter nearly a week ago.
First off the receptionist said I should make an appt. at Shotley Bridge hospital (which must be our local "hub"?)
This hospital is other side of Consett in North Durham and about 8 miles away.
16 mile round trip doesn't sound much, but it is mega hilly getting there and back and Consett always gets twice as much snow before anyone else up here!!!
I said thanks, but no thanks, no way was I venturing over there without a 4x4 vehicle in this weather and why couldn't it be done at the surgery.
Told her I wasn't in a rush to get it done, quite happy to wait until I can get the vax at the surgery.
Hang on she says. Oh, there's an appt. available for a vax here at the surgery for this Thursday.
Amazing what can happen if you stick to your guns just a little bit.
