Can I just warn everybody who has not been given their second covid vaccination to phone 119 and book it.
Firstly, Stef phoned as he hadn't been given a date only to find that they had spelt his name wrong on the system. He was told he should have been vaccinated same time as me as my unpaid carer. He was given his date for his first jab in Stockton and the second in Darlington.
Everybody I know has been given their second vaccination date so I phoned 119 to find out when mine will be. The lady told me they are asking everyone to book their first AND second dates at the same time. This was not what they said when I had my first jab at North Ormesby, I was told I would be contacted with a second date.
Everybody I know has been given their second date so I phoned today and was told that the only available date anywhere "local" within the 12 week period from my first jab was York, a 40 mile drive so I have had to take it. So please, if you don't hear about your first jab, or your second jab then please phone 119 to sort it out.
