COVID Vaccine !

[vickster]

I had my first flu jab ever just before xmas .... as i said in, and out in minutes .... nobody even spoke to me ... the clinician who gave it was on her phone when i walked into the room, put her phone down, jabbed me, and picked her phone up as i left .....

GP surgery where they have your records?

WRT records, for the flu jab there seems to me minimal record-keeping and no link to GP held medical records. I, my wife and a number of friends have had the jab at Pharmacies, we each have continued to receive reminders from the GP that we are eligible. From what we could see, there was no link from the jab provider to NHS personal medical records. That does not matter, as the flu jab is a personal protective measure.

WRT the covid jab. This is a personal protective measure AND a herd immunity/population protective measure and I would expect all covid jabs to be on individuals' medical records to allow tracking across the population.

Hence asking if the jab was done at the GP surgery. They presumably have the poster’s records?
My flu jabs have been done privately at pharmacies and they have always asked me about potential allergy and prior issues (can’t get private jab from GP anymore)

I always have the flu vaccine at my GP, and still they ask every time if I have an allergy to eggs or if I have ever had a reaction to the vaccine, this year was no different.

Yes .. but no records for jabs .... And apart from "David Whiteside go in now" no verbal or other contact ..
Since its the only vaccine jab i've had outside the RAF i thought nothing of it ...

Change of GP may be wise

Been with them for 20 years ... even though this crap they have supported Julie even when she was abandoned by the NHS ... I'll put it down as a bad hair day ...

The flu vaccine is incubated in eggs.

AFAIK there is no central record of covid vaccination. I asked if that in the future I could check if someone has had a vaccine and I was told probably not. Will have to self declare on their medical history.

Interesting. That will really help with tracking effectiveness, problems (hopefully none), etc.

Make the possible future claims industry a real gold mine.

Ultimately it might all get collated but not sure how. I have a little card with my name, date and Pfizer batch number on it plus it is on my occupational health data. I think it's a numbers game at the moment.

We have been told there will be no "vaccine passport" and people who are not vaccinated will not be discriminated against. Not seen it written down though....

Yes, hopefully it will not be another EXcel fiasco

I know, that's why they ask. What I was highlighting was that I get the vaccine in the same place every year, but they still confirm the allergy questions.

Good evening

You can choose to stop your confidential patient information being used for research and planning.
.......
To help the NHS respond to coronavirus, your information may be used for coronavirus research purposes even if you have chosen not to share it. Any information used will be shared appropriately and lawfully.

So a central COVID database won't be stopped by the agreement you may have thought you had governing the privacy of your medical records.

Whether you think that this is a good or bad thing could easily be another 100 page debate. :-)
