That's frustrating about the jab. Keep trying as they might release slots at different times. That's been happening here."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee3

In Scotland the system is different.
As far as I can make out there are no chemists doing the jab.
In my health board they are doing them at large regional centres &the the nearest one to me is a 40 mile round trip & unfortunatly is in a shopping precint which obviously has no parking.
In this day & age!!

I have a friend in Borders beanie. Her mobility is poor and her husband very unwell. They've both been having the jabs at their Drs surgery just there and back in the mobility car and room to park..Our surgery have been doing some in the car park for those who'd struggle to travel far.It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
There but for fortune go you and I.4 -
