Get Vaccinated

 

Get Vaccinated! Well that’s what they tell us. Get vaccinated.

I’m a responsible and hopefully informed citizen So I used the Health Service on-line booking form. Way back in May, could have been even earlier.

Now, I have cardiovascular disease. I have had a vascular bypass. And am on medication for life, to prevent blood clots. Naturally, with the blood clotting issues with the AstraZeneca, I mention this on the form. With about 2 weeks to go, before the first appointment, I get a phone call. I doubt the guy had accessed any of my medical notes, from the questions he was asking. But, I’m not entitled to the Phizer. So he canceled my appointment.

At the time, there didn’t appear to be a great urgency, so I sat back and waited to discuss it with my GP. Then it all starts up again. So inevitably, you put your personal reservations to the back and decide to go ahead with whichever vaccine. It’s not just you, but those around you.

Back into the Health Service on-line booking form. Low and behold. I’m locked out. All my details are there, but I can’t access any of it. Make a phone call. The first time I was on hold for 40 minutes before a gave up. The second time, it actually warned the wait was over an hour! Back to the Health Service on-line booking form. Still locked out.

I’ve now made an appointment with my local GP. I made for just after I see the Cardiologist and the vascular surgeon. I’ve neither consider the AstraZeneca an issue, I’ll go ahead.

So here’s the bottom line. Get vaccinated! We don’t have enough vaccine, but get vaccinated anyway! Oh by the way.

What age group are you?

What state do you live in?

Do you live in a regional area?

Are you eligible?

So get Vaccinated!
