  • Appointment that I did not need

    by Sam R, over 3 years ago
    I received a letter informing me I had an appointment booked in Newmarket this weekend for my booster however I already had my booster the Sunday just gone in my home town of Bury St Edmunds. Why was an appointment made for me after I had already made an appointment myself that I then had to waste time cancelling! Feels like lack of communication among services.

    Incidentally, my experience of getting my booster at Chevington Close was fantastic and would highly recommend it


  • Confused by letters about booster

    by John Hall, over 3 years ago
    This morning, I received three identical letters with 2 different booking references inviting me to attend Rowley Mile for the booster vaccine. I cannot attend because I still have a cough from my COVID infection (tested positive 3rd November) and the time and location is not convenient. What really concerns me, though is the waste of resources incurred by sending three separate letters.

  • Booster jab

    by Jilli, over 3 years ago
    I had my booster jab yesterday . I had modern this time . I had Astra Zenica the last two times. I had a small reaction to the second jab but this time the small reaction is lasting longer. I still feel achy and my arm still hurts more than 24 hours afterwards. I also have back ache.

    A rider to this is I do have underlying medical conditions... Continue reading

  • Poor service in Haverhill.

    by Alic53, over 3 years ago

    I support an elderly lady in Haverhill. She has not yet had a flu jab or covid booster as she is housebound. Having checked with her Gp surgery, she is on a list for flu but no info on when covid booster can be done. She has no mobile phone or internet so cannot get information easily.
    There are hardly any walk in clinics for covid booster and if I book her an appointment, the closest is Cambridge or Newmarket!
