Most of the time was spent waiting in a queue, with plenty of time to
ask questions of the admin staff who were doing the marshalling.


My appointment was 1535. And there was no queue. One other person being
attended to inside the partitioned room. Another arrived as I left.


This was the first year they did a walk-in clinic, rather than one
minute appointments. It made it a lot less convenient, as there was a
queue out in the street and around a corner. However, in previous years
there was a single nurse doing the jabs with the normal surgeries going
on as well. This time, the whole practice shut down, apart from the
vaccinations, with three nurses doing injections in three separate rooms
and lots of support staff marshalling people, to ensure proper distancing.
