A fortnight ago, I had an email from the Admiral Nurse. She'd forwarded an email from the NHS to say carers were eligible for a vaccination if the person they cared for received Attendance Allowance. There was a link to book....
So I pressed it and found a choice of 3 vaccination centres, none with available appointments.
I decided to leave it until my week off. I've tried again and the information on the website seems to have changed. I am now being told that unless I have a paid job as a carer, or I claim Carers' Allowance and can bring proof of one or the other, I am not eligible. In fact, it clearly states, "unpaid carers are not eligible".
I tried to ring the number on the website for more clarification and it referred me back to the website!
I tried to ring the number on the forwarded NHS email and nobody picked up (and there was no answerphone)
Do I just wait now until they get round to 40 to 50 year olds?
