Covid Jab

I was wondering if your elderly loved ones had received their covid jab or any information about it yet?
It might be helpful to put in their age and setting.
My GD is 94 and at home (reliant on Carers) but has not yet heard anything.
I’m worried as I visit him every couple of days and my son is back to school tomorrow (tier 4 area)

My parents are in the same home both with dementia (one end stage) Aged 82 and 79.
They both received the vaccine on Xmas eve. It didn’t give them immunity in time/ they both tested positive a week later (along with almost everyone else in the home) Sad

My mum, mid eighties, was due to have her jab between 25th Dec and 25th Jan according to the vaccine calculator. Today it now says it will be sometime between March & April!
My own vaccine was to be between May & June, and is now between November to December!!! Good job we put off booking anything abroad. I am 59 with asthma. Looks like we've all been moved back.

I was concerned about how the surgery would contact mum because it would be a waste of their time ringing her, she would have forgotten all about it by the time I got there. At 87, living alone with COPD she's not been called yet, every time they get a batch of vaccine they call a few more. I'm happy now that the message will get through, they will contact me, so all I have to do is wait.

MIL (85, home alone, long list of health conditions) had her first jab two weeks ago.
