I don't know the name of his surgery. If I did, I would have gone ahead and contacted them. He won't tell me though.

Try this https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coron...rus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/

and just book on for him

Sounds to me like he's been missed, if it was my dad I wouldn't be taking no for an answer, and if he's on medication his surgery will be on his prescriptions.

I got my call 3 weeks ago. A couple of days later found that a neighbour a couple of years younger than the wife was also going to get their jab. Nagged the misses to ring and ask. Result was an invitation to come along and be vaccinated. Always call if it doesn't seem right.

Perhaps ask rather than tell @Healdplace what they mean?

My interpretation differs from yours, and yours I think cannot be deconvoluted from other concomitant changes so is not amenable to proof or disproof, and can only be a matter of judgement.

See her post #13,844 which confirms she was talking about Xmas get-togethers.

if so, fine, and I stand by cannot be deconvoluted from other concomitant changes so is not amenable to proof or disproof, and can only be a matter of judgement.

What can be said, is that on that judgement, everything we know about the virus tells us Christmas gatherings would be expected to increase transmission.

My dad got his text on Tuesday but hasn't had the follow up call yet. Did anyone else have to wait a few days?

I did not get any follow up call. I got a txt inviting me to book the appointment myself online.

My text had a booking link on it to make an appointment. I had my first shot on Monday.

Hmmm. Interesting. I'll ring my dad and ask what it says exactly.

I think that's the way it works, the text had a link to book the jab, got mine on Monday and go to the drive through next to Hyde United at 11:18 today.

Cheers. I agree with you. What I was objecting to was the suggestion that the January spike was caused solely by Christmas Day get-togethers.

Those gatherings were probably a factor, but not the only one, and possibly not even a very significant one, but we can't be sure.
