I'd suggest anyone over 80 who hasn't heard anything to contact their GP to find out what's going on.

Which is the natural inclination, except that the government advice is don't contact your GP you will be called for your appointment.
No one will be forgotten, Gethin said so.
He also said everyone over 70 would have an invitation by last Friday. I'm still waiting.

If you live in Cardiff worth calling 02921 841234...It's the mass vaccine appointment centre for Cardiff & Vale. I'm similar age to you and got an appointment at Splott for next day.

My Oldie made an appointment by phone one day at Pentwyn the day before they we due the jab at the GPS surgery. He had it but now is ringing up every day asking where his follow up letter is for the second jab as people he knows have had their letters and he hasn’t.

Total chaos and extra burden on the NHS. I think we should wait the call. I’m guessing mid-April for me but which year as they’ll need to ramp up the second jab by then.

At time of my jab I was given a card with second appointment date. Have since had a letter confirming it

So basically your ‘oldie’ already had an appointment for the vaccine at the GP but rang up and had it a day early somewhere else, for some unknown and totally ridiculous reason, which could have resulted in a vaccine dose being wasted and one less person being done overall. Also chasing the second dose 10-12 weeks before it is due !! I just don't get the selfishness of some people.

Or they are old and have reduced capacity to understand it all.

Absolutely...I was mortified... Old People’s Disease...

My long gone in-laws use to queue outside their GP from before 7am in bleak midwinter to be first in the queue to see the GP at 9am to save waiting.

I hope this form of OPD isn’t contagious as I’m 54
