A very happy couple

Posted By Emerald786

"A very happy couple"

About: Barton House Group Practice

(as a friend),

I received a text message telling me that my practice would ring me and book my appointment to be vaccinated with the new Covid Vaccine. They even booked me a transport. My husband had not received a text message, I was informed by the receptionist that was because my husband did not have a mobile phone, but as he was over 80 years of age, he also had his appointment booked.

We are now a happy couple, who can visit our grandchildren because we have had both of us be vaccines.

Thank you for your comments, they will be particularly appreciated by the reception staff who have been working hard coordinating the whole booking process. I am glad that the system worked well for you and that the arranging of both appointments and transport was straight forward.

Current advice following vaccination is that we should continue to follow social distancing I am afraid. This is partly because it takes some time for the full effect of vaccination to develop but also because we do not know whether having been vaccinated you can still pass on the virus.
