true_rover Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Apologies if this is common knowledge or was posted in here already, but there's a website where you can check your appointment if you've not had an envelope yet: https://invitations.vacs.nhs.scot/ I filled out my details last night, as did my other half. I'm 31, she's 32 with no health concerns and we both have appointments for next week at the same time. Couple pals did it as well and seems like a good chunk of over 30s will be done in the next week or two in Edinburgh. Apparently (total hear-say of course) there are problems with the blue envelope approach. If true, I'm not sure why they are doubling down on sticking with it. Snail mail is not the most efficient way (in terms of time or cost) to reach the demographic of the people they are now trying to vaccinate. Same ages and also did the same last night - was supposed to be in a couple of weeks for both of us but time wasn't particularly useful. Easily able to reschedule a week earlier, a good system if only they had actually made use of (or highlighted) it before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much for that mate, only one in my family not dosed now is my sister in law, have passed those details onto her. There were images of people queuing outside the hydro the other day for spare doses, this is great, we should have been allowing it all along, no vaccine should be poured down the drain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 BBC reporting that the EU will allow free access to vaccinated British tourists. It would be ironic if it wasn't the big bad EU that stopped people going on holiday this summer and it was Boris and co with their testing and isolation policies. Did see another article related to travel that people have booked two holidays at the same time. one in the UK and one abroad. With the cancellation policies in place they can't lose money but obviously one of the holidays will be getting ditched. No idea how widespread this is but given all the nonsense going on there could be a lot of cancelled holidays regardless this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted the EU is in a different position having a number of countries that are actually nice to visit and also some highly dependent on tourism, they are taking the sensible approach here and are accepting the evidence showing the vaccines work. Johnson, meanwhile, is shitting the bed because of how badly the government got things wrong previously and is refusing to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I know a few people have already mentioned it previously, but it's the haphazard and apparently blasé attitude to implementing restrictions that has me astonished. Huge sectors of the economy are shut down on a whim, causing significant social and economic problems for many. Not only does this happen but people are then repeatedly lied to as to how long this will be for. Three weeks to save the NHS, two week circuit breaker etc. Utter lies. Destructive lies, in fact. Even opening up is never an easy thing. Glasgow establishments have been shafted at short notice and the travel sector will similarly have its knees cut off whilst Johnson undermines it with his words in the meantime. Then there's the Indian variant panic that's currently ongoing. This isn't something like banning creosote or plastic straws, there are catastrophic impacts on people's lives from these restrictions. This is seldom acknowledged. Travel industry guy on the radio news this morning was saying that as far as they are concerned having "amber" list countries is fucking pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be that your appointment hasn't actually been made yet. I think this system is to find out when your appointment is if you've either not been told yet and you'd be due to get it soon or if you have received a letter but subsequently lost it. My appointment is early afternoon at Ingilston so will be a nice opportunity to escape work for an hour (or two, if I drive really, really slowly). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I got a blue envelope for my 1st jag (2nd March) but when i hadn't heard anything else 10 weeks later I went to https://vacs.nhs.scot/csp to find out my 2nd appointment was 14th May. That site also has a tab showing your vaccination status and you can download it as a pdf. Edited May 19, 2021 by Arch Stanton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
