Annoyed with GP and Health Visitor

[HopeFor2026]

Not sure if I'm looking for advice or just a rant. I'm with a health board in Wales and been badgering hv about my babies jabs since 6 weeks, gp said they don't schedule them childrens health do. Contact health visitor apparently they are on strike, got a letter for my babies 6 weeks check at 8 weeks fine.

I went to the appointment to be told she should have her jabs this week, but apparently they fucked up and my baby is not on the system, they haven't arranged anything for her first lot of immunisations. Contacted hv yesterday to be told she's chased this up hopefully they can slot her in Tuesday next week, but I haven't heard anything today.

So now the dilemma is if she doesn't get in next Tuesday they don't run the clinic the week after, so she would be nearly 12 weeks by the time she has them at the minimum.
Aibu to be fucking fuming, I have no idea what to do to chase this up anymore than I have?? She's going to be having them really late if she doesn't get them this Tuesday, and then the 12 weeks set will be delayed by almost a month.. Not sure if this will matter regarding the effectiveness of the vaccines.
Can't afford to get them privately either..can someone reassure me please if I'm just worrying unnecessarily, just annoyed we seem to give our pets better healthcare than babies in this country.

Thanks.

Bit baffled by this tbh, can you not just register your baby as a patient and then phone reception and book an appointment? It doesn’t have to be arranged by the health visitor afaia.

I just googled to check in case it had changed, and the info is you can register them and organise it yourself through the surgery.

Hi, apparently no for this health board they get arranged by a different department and not the gp. I rang the practice and they said it was nothing to do with them but the health visitor could chase it.
I am baffled too as when I had my son with cardiff and vale I could just book his in.

Some of the vaccines are more effective when given at specific times*, but a month won't make a difference (assuming your baby doesn't catch anything, which is unlikely). No need to worry and no need to fume.

*Not necessarily the schedule the NHS offers!
