Default OT: Second jab. Result!

How was it organised?

I had mine quite early on, and organised by my GP. In conjunction with
other GPs in the area. Got a week's notice, and they'd given over one
surgery to just doing jabs. Chosen I suppose because it was very close to
a station and bus services - but not so good for parking. Lots of
volunteer helpers, but only saw two 'pros' - one to do the check of the
form I'd filled in, and one to do the jab. Was seen within minutes of
arriving on time - but then pretty well all the patients were elderly so
could be there on time. Exactly the same with the second jab.

Friends who had it arranged by the NHS reported things not always so well
organised.

Seems to me your GP should be very used to organising jabs - after all
they do flu jabs for their elderly every year. And children too. So
already know what works efficiently for their own patients. So only a
question of scaling it up. Rather than a new one off with the NHS.
