I see if you want proof of having had your COVID-19 vaccine your local GP will give you a letter at a cost of a bargain £30

When you get your jab, you are given a card which shows your name, name of vaccine, batch number and date vaccine given.

My dad asked the nurse if the little card he got given will get him into the pubs and clubs

Just read the small print on the letter and I get swab test kit which is then collected by a courier and taken to a Lab. Apparently it does tell you if you've had the virus.

I had exactly the same test earlier this month SW but it didn't tell me whether I'd already had the virus, just if I had it when the test was taken. Which I hadn't as it came back negative

Yes that's what I thought as MrSW got chosen a few weeks back and it was as you describe but this letter is worded different to hers.
Will see what happens and what it says when the kit arrives.

Sounds like it may be different then.

Sadly not, did it Sunday and its the same one I think.
The letter with the test kit stated will tell you if you "HAVE the virus" where the previous letter said "HAD the virus".

Still will await result because have had a bit of a cold and at time of test and a slight sore throat.

A lady we know mid 50’s had her vaccine today no health issues, based in London. How’s that work then ?

I did read that some GP practices, or vaccination centres, are calling people up to come and get the vaccine if they anticipate that the vaccines they have stored will be wasted if not used. One place, might have been here or abroad, just before they were closing, literally went into the street to offer the vaccines to passers by rather than waste it.

Must say though, your example is an odd one.

Does seem strange, according to the list the only under 70's in the top four groups (other than vulnerable) are Care Home workers, frontline NHS & Social workers.
Seems strange to me such as the Police who are having to deal hands on with those abusing the rules are not on the list.

I must admit we were surprised when she posted on Facebook but she’s definitely had it.

Was on the news a few days back that some areas had made errors inviting people not on the priority list and some had been wrongly injected, wonder if she is one of those.

On the opposite side a area in Sheffield was on the local news that they had been injecting faster than the national rate and was refused extra vaccine to move forward to other groups. Was told had to wait for rest to catch up as it was unfair.
