For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm in the same time band as APG. My situation is a bit complicated though, as I was in the 'shielding' group during the first lockdown but that was due to me being on chemotherapy, which has now ended. Despite that, I still seem to be classed as being within the high risk group though, as I got a letter based upon that assessment just a few weeks ago.
So, if the system simply has me down as 'being at high risk', I should be fairly close to the top of the list. However if the system still thinks that I'm on chemotherapy (and therefore effectively without an immune system), I might well be classed as being totally ineligible for the vaccine and left off the list altogether! (The vaccine works by triggering a response within the immune system. If someone's immune system isn't working, the vaccine can't work either).

I wonder when our European friends will get it?

My MIL was called for hers, she is 87. Initially she said no she didn't want it, but now changed her mind & having difficulty obtaining one.
I thought doctors surgeries were gonna start doing them, my surgery is still shut & in darkness!!!
Since this is so important, I would have thought yesterday, Sunday they would still be carrying them out.

//Just as a matter of interest NJ .
Will you be having your vaccination , when offered it ?//
Yes I will baz. There was a slight problem in that I may have been out of the country when the my turn was forecast to come round and that may have presented problems. That said, if the forecast of vaccination rollout is as accurate as any other forecast produced during this debacle I need not have worried. But in any case that was firmly knocked on the head on Saturday and I doubt I'll be going anywhere anytime soon.
Since I have no confidence in the NHS to run such a programme efficiently Mrs NJ and I were quite prepared to relieve them of the burden of dealing with us by paying to have it done at a time and place that suited us. But that seems a no-no. So we'll sit and wait for our call up papers. I see vaccination as the only way out of the madness into which this - and most other - countries have descended. One thing's for sure - politicians have no ideas other than to lock everybody away from everybody else (because that's worked a treat so far) and are content to watch the nation's economy and non-Covid health crash and burn in the meantime
