The website for this practice informs me to use the Covid National Booking Service to get my Covid vaccination. Problem is the National Booking Service refuse to book me an appointment and tell me to make up a fictional illness to see my GP. I decide not to do this, I am polite and wait since January 2022 until today 12th April 2022 for them to arrange for me to have my Covid vaccination. I am 60+ and have NO ANTIBODIES against Covid and I have an autoimmune disease. I have learnt that complaining is now the ONLY thing I can do, so I am telling you all, don’t expect any help from this doctors practice as they do nothing about anything. I am asked to go for breast screening, cervical smears, flu jabs etc…would you go into a Covid ‘hot spot’ unprotected? They don’t care that I have to self isolate for months because of their lack of action. There website states….. We remain concerned about the effect of Covid-19 and, although we are pleased to see the restrictions relaxed, we are still mindful that rates of Covid in the community are very high. Please continue to wear a face mask if you enter the practice, infection control guidance for GP surgeries remains the same and requires us to continue to take precautions to protect vulnerable patients and staff. The Weymouth covid-19 immunisation clinic is now closed, covid vaccination booking requests and queries should be directed to the National Booking Service – 119 or www.nhs.uk So what am I supposed to do….back to my MP I guess and my councillors as well as having my family post this ‘nonsensical’ situation all over social media. I gave them a chance and I now feel as if they do not care.

Telephoned, or even emailed me MONTHS AGO about where and when I should go for my Covid vaccination, not keep requesting I attend for cervical smears, Breast Screening, Flu Jabs, prescription reviews and appointments I do not know about you send a message to an I phone, rarely used stating I did not attend an appointment on 7th March…how could I attend an appointment at the surgery I knew nothing about or made?
