Vaccination fiasco shows NHS doesn’t understand Seaton
I’ve just had to abandon a Covid/flu vaccination appointment at the Tesco car park after waiting an hour, since I’d have to wait another hour before being done. This is despite having an appointment. The core reason for the fiasco is that the NHS grossly underestimated the walk-in demand in the morning, so that people who had waited hours were ahead of the people with timed appointments (there was also a medical emergency which apparently slowed things a little).
All a striking contrast with the orderly vaccination process in Seaton hospital during the pandemic. The NHS obviously just doesn’t understand that 45 per cent of Seaton’s population are over 65 and therefore eligible. They’re trying to do vaccination on the cheap and they are not taking into account that people are rightly still very concerned about catching Covid.

I was told by my local GP surgery that this and the 2 other dates they had for Seaton were all walk in appointments. When my wife got there this morning she was told pre,booked appointments only were being dealt with. Bring back Seaton Hospital they know how to do it!!!!
