Rosendale Road Vaccination centre closed- no notification.

[randombloke]

I arrived for my 1:45pm appointment today.

It is closed today, tomorrow and Monday.

So don't bother.

No notification and no apology.

I can't begin to describe my anger and disappointed at this situation.

Unacceptable.

If you add to this thread with a similar experience I will write to Helen Hayes.

The reason will be interesting - I suspect that they may have missed a delivery and be expecting one on Monday for Tuesday - hence why they are closed for those dates. It is so specific that it is unlikely that they are simply missing staff or having to quarantine. And they've probably been asked not to say they have run out of vaccine in case it causes panic - when it's probably just an organisational cock-up. Or maybe their fridge has broken down and won't be mended (or replaced) until Tuesday?

There are probably a number of legitimate reasons why this may have happened, without notice, to cause disruption. I'm sorry that you should have been so upset, but it looks like you should get your vaccine with only a small delay. And infection numbers are low locally, so your risk is probably small.

Thanks for the reply. I got a call later on and got fast tracked through a centre in Croydon.

I had an appointment booked there for Sunday too, but they called on Friday to rearrange, which I did for Wednesday. Maybe there as a problem with contact details?

They're good at rearranging normally as they rang and offered my mother an earlier slot in February.

It's my turn on Sunday for the first injection at Rosendale Road, so keeping my fingers crossed.
