It clearly varies from area to area. I took my 91 year old mother for her first jab at one of our local hubs. All very efficient, no waiting outside. She had the AZ jab with no side effects whatsoever and is due to have her second jab later today.
I had my first jab (Pfizer) at the same place a couple of weeks ago. Again, no waiting outside. I was very tired that evening but otherwise fine. However my daughter when she had the Pfizer jab was very ill afterwards with bad flu like symptoms and difficulty breathing.
Rishi should come and look down my client list. He'd find plenty of the excluded there. A handful of self employed earning just over £50k, a lot with half and half employed/self employed and falling the wrong side of the line. And a good few who left employment or education in 19/20 and set up on their own. All excluded through no fault of their own. And particularly galling for those earning over £50k from self employment who see their employed counterparts getting CJRS albeit capped.
Thank you. The other thing I would add is that if you really feel you are not safe go to A & E and ask to see the duty psychiatrist. Useful if you can have someone with you to plead your cause - have had to do this with various family members over the years.
I have a couple of clients who seem unable to get GG accounts because they're not UK nationals so don't have UK passports and don't drive so don't have UK driving licences. They'll be entitled to SEISS though. Presumably they'll have to do phone claims?
I won't give the whole story but my local authority are lucky I'm honest! They had no record of the fact that we had a musical instrument worth about £2,000 on loan from them & tried to give us another instrument!
Oh the memories! My tribe are older now & I thought I was through with school runs except when I felt kind until last week when daughter 2 broke her foot & is on crutches. So I'm now back taking her to & from school each day. The amount of my working day that has disappeared is frightening. Thank goodness it didn't happen in January!
I have several clients who are on NT codes - self employed for tax but employed for NI. I have enough problems explaining this to the Revenue now - I have just forseen an endless round of contacting "help" lines to try to explain that one for UC. They'll probably be declared under RTI but for them that's only half the picture.

Exactly. Not quite sure whether to cheer or cry

Echoing everyone else in wishing you well and a speedy recovery.
