How did they notify you of your vaccination?

[Molly333]

Just that really , letter, email phone call? What did it say ? Thanks all

My parents got a phone call from their GP hub (over 80)
Two clinically extremely vulnerable people I know got a text from their GP inviting them to use a booking link.
I got an email with a link to book (through work)

So it varies.

I got a text with a link to book. I got a letter with a link one week later.

My mum and in-laws got a letter through the post. My Dd had a phone number to call.

My DH got a phone call on the landline from GP to go to GP practice to have it. His friend, same age, at same GP practice got a text on his mobile to go to a mass vaccination hub.

Text late weds night with link to book. I could book appts for the next night onwards!

Phone call. I’m a NHS critical care nurse.

I got an ‘NHS’ text message with a link to ‘Swiftqueue’ website, DH got a letter with a different NHS website address, my friend got a text message from GP surgery and had to phone them. All go to same GP so no idea why each invitation was different, all went to the same hub vaccination centre.

Text:

Dear Mrs Observer, on behalf of YourTown Primary Care Network you have been invited to book your first Covid-19 vaccination at....

And a link.

There’s different booking systems for different centres. The “mass” vaccination sites (which includes pharmacy so aren’t all big sites) are sending letters with a link to book online of advice to call 119 to book over the phone.

The GP/PCN sites aren’t on that booking system. Most are using a text message booking system which sends a text message with a link to book online. They are following this up with phone calls or letters to the patients who don’t have a mobile.

God knows why the two systems can’t talk to each other.

Text from my GP

Social Services letter to my employer. Employer notified me and took some details needed which were passed to social services. Social services then emailed me with a link to a booking system. The booking system then emailed me confirmation of booking.

I got a text

Phone call from GP surgery.

My mum got a letter yesterday (her 65th birthday) from the NHS inviting her to go to a website & book her two dates.

Text from my GP

I've had all three as I'm CEV

Phonecall from the hospital where I'm an out patient
Letter from my GP (after I'd had it)
Text from NHS also after I'd had it

Was pleased they're obviously trying all routes to contact people

Letter (shielding list)

Text message telling me to call GP surgery to book.
almost 2 weeks later (and after I’d already been vaccinated) I got a letter from NHS telling me to to book a vaccine appt

Group 6 here - DH was rung by one of the GPs at our surgery and she booked him into the local hub. He then passed the phone to me and she booked me in as well. She rang at 10am and we had our vaccines by 11.15am!

Parents (80s) had phone call from GP in December.
Teacher colleagues who volunteered to go into work to supervise KW children had texts last week.

Husband got a call on his mobile, missed it and within a minute the landline phone was ringing. GP surgery (vaccination hub) just offered him the vaccine and gave him an appointment later in the week. Mum and dad got texts telling them to go through the NHS vaccination booking service. They were able to book for the following day (a Sunday)

Text from gp surgery with a link

DH, group 6, got a text

Phone call from vaccination centre: can you be here in 20 minutes? Yes, I said, I'm on my way.

I got a text from my GP to book but got the vaccine at my hospital. Then my GP surgery called a week or so later asking if I would have the jab and I said I had it. Then I got a letter inviting me from the national booking service!
