Only a 5 minute drive, but if you just turn up they will not let you in to speak to anybody.  Strict instructions to ring first and preferably arrange a phone or video  consultation.

If no word by lunchtime tomorrow, I will ring them again.

Yes, apparently we 75-80s in this area have to go to our GP.

I get my jab this coming Friday. I received a text and just followed the links to book a slot. My understanding is that I’ll be contacted again nearer the time regarding my second jab. At this moment, I’m keeping May free (nothing planned/booked) until I know when my second jab will take place. At this moment the wife (same age) hasn’t been contacted but I’m hopeful that she’ll get her jab soon, and that we won’t be too out of sync. I do have Cirencester Park booked around mid April, so hopefully that’ll go ahead🤞

Are you absolutely sure that they have an accurate record of all your details especially your contact details?

I'd not leave it till lunchtime, Kj.

In my experience Docs are usually geared up to answering the phone from around 8am and tend to have more people around capable of dealing with issues early in the day.

I'm not sure where that "legal definition" of volunteering comes from - maybe you could provide a link?

Surely the important fact is that of volunteering?  Whether it's paid, unpaid or expenses paid is irrelevant? 

I've been a Cinnamon Trust dog walker for coming on 10 years now; it's not a paid "job", I do it in all weathers, most weekday mornings and for the last 2 years I'm often the only person the elderly lady sees from one day to the next. I do get the occasional "gift" of a packet of pooh bags though!

A triumph for the vaccine roll-out then.
