One of my neighbours felt unwell with Covid symptoms and phoned re advice on what to do to helpline. He was told to make appointment for proper test, did as requested and was given appointment in Newcastle. When he said he didn't want to travel from Edinburgh to Newcastle, they changed appointment to Dundee. He went up Tuesday. Seems strange that you can't get appointment in Edinburgh, the capital city of country. Mother in law stays in West coast near Mull of Kyntyre. Her local health clinic arranged time for all local over 80's to come for boosters as they had done original vaccinations months back. Just before date, they had to cancel as NHS Scotland wants to send their own Mobile unit to perform boosters but as they don't have unit available, the date is as yet unknown. The management of NHS seems determined to complicate and intefere where not required with no visible benefit. That doesn’t sound right. I’m in West Lothian and was given the choice of four different drive-thru sites to get a PCR test last week: 2 in Livingston, 1 in Airdrie and 1 in Boness.

Is really any need for something that size now ? Seems a bit ott. Lucky you , 5 off us went out on Tuesday for the booster jab, all 5 of us who work together in pharmacy had booked times one after another . Got there only to be told that every booking had been double booked so it was now a case of first come first served. After an hour and fifteen mins waiting we got taken . Hall was bloody cold , lots of elderly people cold and a fair bit pissed off as some had been there 2 hours plus . Gets to the nurse who tells me and my daughter were getting the Modena jag . I asked why as we had been told when booking it was to be the Pfizer as per our first two jags , the reply , that was done yesterday it’s a different jag today but it’s the same group . No reaction to the Pfizer jags from me my wife and daughter previously . Wednesday night night my daughter was was complaining of headache, muscle pain , hot and cold sweats . My wife has a hell of a rash on her arm and a very sore arm pit Me , I’ve had the sweats and slight headache . Our first two jags were at the WGH and was excellent , Tuesday was an absolute shambles , suppose two out of three isn’t too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t get a test anywhere in Edinburgh for 2 days. Managed to get a walkthrough appointment at Tynecastle but I think sometimes anomalies like this can happen. I was at the vaccine centre at ingliston the other day and there was hardly a person in the place, I questioned the point of the place.

Yup, I agree with this. My parents had their two Covid jabs at their local surgery, as did all over 80s in our area. It worked well, and that's how they should have done it for the booster too. The guys in charge put efficiency before the actual people involved, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 2 hours ago, redjambo said: Yup, I agree with this. My parents had their two Covid jabs at their local surgery, as did all over 80s in our area. It worked well, and that's how they should have done it for the booster too. The guys in charge put efficiency before the actual people involved, imo. My 92 year old ma got her flu jab at the local surgery and was asked if she wanted her booster in the other arm. It could be that is not the case everywhere but seemed sensible to me if they had the vaccine and had the person in front of them to ask. Fife though and we have never had any problems with anything to do with letters, vaccine appointments, jabs etc. As I say guess it may not be the same for others in other areas but no complaints here in relation to our health services.

To add to this, the service I have experienced in Fife has been top notch. Had my Booster a few weeks back and got the flu jab also, all at the time given....Albeit first thing on a Sunday am and been out the night before. Thank goodness for masks....

You need help. No, I think you're making it up. Tho, my boy's lives in Erkine and got a vaccine appointment for his first jag (back in whenever) for Easterhoose. Just phoned and changed it for Johnstone, quite easily. Edited October 30, 2021 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's a lie that they're making the elderly and infirm travel to ingliston to get their boosters Free taxis. They should actually do the jags at the bingo. Wouldn't take long.

Wouldn't take long. went to the local hospital for my booster in a tent yesterday, not nearly as exciting as my first at Lords (not a cricket fan by hey ho) and second at Westminster Abbey - definitely something in providing the vaccines at venues that motivate folks to take part, particularly with these boosters where the perception is they are not as necessary as the initial regime.
