At-risk household vaccination letter?

[RiseAgain]

Hi there, my father has recently been diagnosed with Lymphoma and is undergoing chemo.
Because he lives with us, some of our vaccination doses have to be speeded up - Googling the information it sounds like we need an NHS 'invite' letter - does anyone know how this work? Is the letter addressed to the patient or to the household member? How long does it take for it to arrive etc? Because this is all recent, I assume it might take time to set the system up - do I need to get the GP to write a separate letter?
Very new to this and stressed out, thanks for any tips!

What do you mean by speeded up? I understood that those who wanted them would have had had their vaccinations and boosters by now?

I was told when I went for my booster that if members of my household took a letter from my consultant with my condition/meds mentioned to a vaccination centre they would be able to get vaccinated early (this was boosters, before the big booster drive though).

Is your DF registered at the same address as you or Is he just staying with you whilst he's ill? If he's registered at same address you could take some proof of the medication he's on or schedule of his chemo, anything that shows he's on immuno suppressive treatment really to a walk in centre that should suffice. That means any dc aged 12-17 could get their 2nd doses at 8 weeks rather than 12 weeks, being a household contact doesn't usually get doses brought forward in any other age group its still 8 weeks between 1st and 2nd and 3 months between 2nd and booster

Have you not all had your vaccines anyway? There's no queue to jump anymore, just book and go.

You just book it online, I'm not sure what you mean by speeded up?

Everyone eligible has been offered one already.

There isn't a backlog now so you can get them done at walk-in's in most areas.

Children get their 2nd vaccines early if they are living with someone immune compromised

Thank you all!
Yes, most of us are fully vaccinated/boostered, it is the 12YOs that should now go at 8 weeks rather than at 12.

So if I get the GP to write a letter stating all the facts that sounds like it might be enough - I just don't want to turn up only to be told I don't have the right info - I have to say to date my experience with anything Covid related has been that no one quite knows everything and we have been passed between 119 and the GP surgery multiple times...

Not quite the same scenario as you but I am eligible for a 4th dose which just results in “computer says no” if you try to book it in advance but a letter from my GP was accepted fine at the walk in centre, they seemed to be fully aware of all of the exceptions to the “normal” vaccine schedule
