Within days of receiving my invitation, today I've now had the Covid-19 vaccination
Almost by coincidence, I elected to attend the centre at the former RAF Locking at which I spent so much of my career and which is just minutes from home. The local pharmacy had established the centre and, as you would expect, there were multiple volunteers waiting to guide each recipient through the process. For the record I received the Astrazeneca vaccine.
I can only marvel at how quickly things have moved on and to say a very sincere thanks to everyone in the NHS and all these dedicated volunteers.
As a postscript, I received my vaccination on the Saturday. On the Monday, I noted that details of it were reflected on my GP records. Most efficient.
