“Dear Mr Hanrott

You are now eligible for the Pfizer Covid Vaccination. Please contact the surgery to book it urgently. We have only a few appointments left for this week.

Kind regards,    Megan Mann

The above arrived yesterday afternoon.  I am not even a resident of the UK, albeit I am registered with the National Health Service.  I am tempted to leap on the first plane, get the jab and return. But, coming or going I could catch covid-19 on the plane.  So I will wait patiently while American wheels grind at their own pace.  Long live socialized medicine!

With apologies for this second, similar, posting.  I couldn’t resist it.
