What a bloody farce
As you know I work in a care home, back in January we all had the Pfizer vaccine, this was the 8th of jan, we have a couple of weeks before we hit the 12 week deadline for our second injection, the manager contacted the surgery today and was told they don’t know when the next batch will be available or how much they will get, the advice is to contact your gp, one staff member tried this today, when she eventually got through they couldn’t help her, neither could the nhs helpline she was advised to call, if we’re able to book an appointment and get a jab at the walk in place there’s no guarantee we’ll get the Pfizer, I don’t fancy being a guinea pig by having both, what’s the point of vaccinating half the population, if they can’t do the follow up in the recommended time, just to boost the figures and make the government look good....

Like you, I had the Pfizer jab in January and I'm beginning to wonder about the second jab. I'm trying not to think too hard about it as the goal posts get moved we're all in the dark.

The general advice till now is ... don't contact your GP, wait to hear from them.
I wouldn't worry about the 12 week deadline as I don't believe it has any true meaning.
But healthcare workers workers passing the buck is unforgivable.
