Older or shielding people in the UK: Are you still waiting for your vaccine dose?

More than half of over-80s in the UK have been given their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday. While this provides welcome relief for those who have been inoculated, some people who are expecting to receive early doses of the vaccine are concerned that they have not yet been contacted.

We’d like to hear from people who are in high priority bands, but have not yet received their vaccine. We are also happy to hear from family members who might be able to put us in touch with older relatives.
