Hi. I previously posted that we got the letter on Saturday but have also received numerous text messages. Hope this helps.

Hi Grommet

If you think you fall into one of the categories of extremely vulnerable people you should discuss your concerns with your GP or hospital clinician.

Very best wishes.

Post TP - obviously on Immunosuppressants so he most definitely will/does fall into the vulnerable category. Please also follow Trust8’s advice. The letter should cone from your GPs practice.

Hope you sort it soon....

Hi .... Some of the letters are taking there time I believe . I’d suggest to call your consultant just to check if you are on the list.

My letter, and others, came from the GP practice - might be a quicker way to an answer than the Consultant?

I suppose whichever personally one thinks, I gave up with a 2 hour wait on the phone to my go surgery . I am more in contact with my consultant, called her up with great ease, my letter was sent out that day .:)
