Booster booking confusion
I used the NHS website to book my anti-Covid booster and had the jab at a local pharmacy yesterday. Meanwhile, I've also received a text invitation from a collective address called (I think) GPHubClinic every day this week, to book a booster at one of the local vaccination centres.
So there are two NHS-connected systems for getting the booster, which plainly don't liaise with one another. The steward at the pharmacy yesterday thought that the texts would stop after I'd had my booster jab because both systems are connected to the NHS, but it doesn't work that efficiently - I've just had yet another text!
If you've booked/had the booster via the NHS website and keep getting these texts, then the way to stop them is to follow the link provided in them, which will give you an option NOT to book your booster by that route and explain why. Otherwise, these redundant texts may continue for some time, which is maddening.
