No appointments near to home!
My husband is now eligible for his vaccination in the next cohort. I've spent the past week trying to get an appointment for him in Lowestoft or Norwich. Every time I log into the portal I'm getting Ipswich, Colchester and even Brighton as the available places - we are in lockdown, we don't have a car and these are a minimum of 2 hours travel for a 45 minute appointment. I work for the local NHS & know that there are four places in Lowestoft offering the vaccination, plus Norwich is only an hour on the train and easy access from the station. Our GP wont help us & are telling me that he has to book via the NHS Portal - that's ok if it works! he was offered an appointment two weeks ago at a GP practice 2 miles away but due to the snow and ice we said we'd wait for an appointment nearer to home.
