Hi @Mandypandy you certainly are getting the run around, let’s hope you (we all) have clearer guidance by June.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
We have one member of the household who has not been vaccinated but she’s in her 20’s and she doesn’t feel she needs to have it as she doesn’t think that she is at risk but she completely fails to see that she might end up being a risk to the rest of us who are all on the vulnerable list.
Hi @Franko, that must be so difficult to live, literally, as you all live in the same house.
You certainly are powerless over others.
All you can do is take reasonable precautions yourself, but it must make you feel very apprehensive all the time, take care.
That sounds v frustrating @Franko. Have you shared info with her re Covid and blood cancer so she can make a more informed decision?
Hi all, just wanted to put some updated info about this on this thread!
-
England - if you have had a blood cancer diagnosis, or you are an unpaid carer, you can book your covid vaccination online or call 119. If you are a household contact of someone who is immunosuppressed, your GP should now arrange a vaccine for you.
-
Scotland - if you have had a blood cancer diagnosis, or you are a household contact of someone who is immunosuppressed, you should get a letter from NHS Scotland or be contacted inviting you for your vaccine. There is a separate web page for registering for a vaccine as an unpaid carer and a page about registering for a vaccine if you think you’ve been missed. There is also a covid vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013 (7 days a week, 8am-8pm).

Wales - if you have had a blood cancer diagnosis, you should get a letter from the NHS or be contacted inviting you for your vaccine. There are separate web pages about getting your vaccine as an unpaid carer, getting your vaccine as a household contact of someone immunosuppressed, and getting your vaccine if you think you have been missed. You can also contact your area’s Health Board if you think you have been missed.
