I work as a carer in domiciliary care 3 of the carers have been given the vaccine one the same age as me 2 younger in their 30s im desperate to have the vaccine. There are 2 carers older then me and we are all waiting and waiting for it. No one knows when we might be offered it. Please can someone give me something to cheer me up?

Your turn will come Nanna29. It can be frustrating when younger people have been vaccinated before you but this is happening everywhere now.
I hope you will get your vaccine soon.

Yes I am waiting too after shielding a whole year for health reasons.

When I hear someone's getting it I feel that it is one person closer for me.

Your turn will come and it may be tomorrow!

Thanks its just a bit frustrating especially because my boss is choosing who goes and in what order

Sorry that sounds very odd. I work in a field where we are offered the vaccine I therefore know lots of workplaces that are eligible, I know of none where employees have been referred at different times if they are doing the same role.

You can book your own, using the link that's on a thread here, nanna29.

It isn't pushing in; you're eligible as a healthcare worker.

Is your care agency arranging your vaccines? Or does your GP know your occupation?
Where I work (GP) we were vaccinating Healthcare workers that we knew of, so were coded as such in their medical records. If we were sent proof, or a local home confirmed who worked there we could vaccinate them.
Now we have a link to direct them to book at the hospital but they will need to take work ID with them.
