Yep, me! I was in to see midwife 2 weeks ago, she said that I should ask about it at the front desk, they told me they were doing people with underlying conditions first, but I should get my letter soon, but still nothing

I am back to the midwife today so will ask again, but it seems like out of the ladies in my aquanatal group i am one of the very few who hasn't been offered it yet

if you've not been offered it, you need to ring you doctors surgery just so they know you want it/havent been offered it.

Better than being missed out

talk about short notice... ring the drs if your worried. i take it you want the jab??

I havent been offered it - am 99% sure I wont be taking it either but hoping not to be offered to avoid making the final decision. My surgery has 500 doses so they are working through the first group first and suppose they will see what they have left after that

I haven't been offered yet. Asked about it at the surgery on Tuesday and they said that high risk people are currently being phoned and/or written to but I have no faith that I'll get scooped up. Back in surgery today for my next B12 injection and plan to ask about it again and register that I'm v keen to be contacted asap.
