Vaccination appointment shambles, fuming

Just got back from taking my 95 year old grandad to get his first covid jab, at last. He is the last of his friends to get it despite some of them being 10 years younger than him... But anyway.

Everyone at the centre had been given the same appointment time of 4pm. There was a queue all the way down the road of elderly people, standing in the freezing darkness waiting to go in. We were out there for over an hour. Nobody seemed remotely concerned about social distancing either. I thought I'd feel relieved once my grandad was vaccinated, but now I'm worried sick about the risk from this stupid appointment and how it was managed. Is it just us, or is this kind of shambles happening elsewhere too? Would I be unreasonable to make a complaint?

Well i just want to say how sorry I am. I too would have been fuming and very upset for everyone. Maybe not a complaint but more of a suggestion for improvement type contact from you.

Am so sorry for your experience. It was all extremely well organized when l took someone. Appointments staggered throughout the day, no queues at all. In a big hall, social distancing, jab cubicles well spaced. Then had to sit in another part of hall for fifteen minutes, seats all apart.
I was impressed how it was done. Buckinghamshire

OP, that sounds a positively reckless way of running the vaccination programme. I definitely think you should complain.
