    Patients that use my surgery are being told a neighbouring surgery will call them when their time comes.
    If you get my meaning.
    I don't think we have any hubs anywhere near.

      Patients here are only being told (if they phone in using a landline, their only form of contact), that they will only be notified if they have an email address or mobile for text messages.

        Sounds like a good way of keeping the numbers down.:biggrin:
        They told people not to phone in here as they were blocking up the phone line.( think they have only got one).:biggrin:

          I received my phonecall this afternoon, on my landline, for the jab next Saturday at our local surgery. They're doing the jabs there as I have been able to arrange for the village hall car park to be used for parking (it's next to the surgery).

          I'm rather nervous about it as I have a needle phobia due to a serious error with an injection 70 years ago. :sad:

                            My daughter has had her second Pfizer vaccine. She said she felt extremely tired for a few days but otherwise okay. Her boss had the same side effect too.

                              I was a student in the same building as the guys who were learning to take blood samples and injecting this and that. Once they graduated from injecting oranges, they needed volunteers for human practice, and since I'm born with large, visible veins I was an obvious target. Talk about vampire genre.

                              Unfortunately, I was, and still am, skinny, so the art of getting the needle in the soft tissue instead of hitting the bone has been a somewhat a challenge over the years.

                              But when it comes to vaccinations, bring on the needles, I'd much rather deal with them than Polio, Smallpox, Whooping cough, Meningitis, HPV, and all the rest.

                                Tonight's dark Covid News is very disturbing.
                                And BBC 10 O'clock News is a disgrace.
