"Eligible or not?"

About: Central Vaccination Service - Angus Central Vaccination Service - Angus

Posted by trapperfd33 (as a carer), 5 months ago

Absolutely disgusted at treatment by NHS Tayside vaccination service. My husband and I attended a pre booked appointment, for our flu vaccine at Arbroath St Andrews Church only to be told we were not eligible.
We both provide care to very elderly and vulnerable parents and were able to book through the NHS inform online system. Staff at the centre stated we were not eligible despite NHS Tayside posting an advert via Facebook 3 hours prior stating all unpaid and young carers were eligible for flu vaccine.
Which is it? Eligible or not?! I feel that to be advertising and wasting people’s time is an absolute disgrace.
