I never received the letter or email regarding the PCR test. I called 119 who said they could not send the special PCR test as I hadn’t received the letter. They suggest I called gp which I did & practice manager was supposed to call me back next day. No call. The thing that worries me is why am I being missed off things.

Why your GP didn't include you in the shielding list is a good question as both your medications indicate that you should be. If I were you I would email the GP including the above link. Save the sent email as proof of the communication.

I never received a shielding letter but I did get a pcr test and an email about getting the medicine if I get covid. I had covid in October. My gp surgery is hit or miss.
