Charities say they have been inundated with calls from worried immunosuppressed people.
The rollout of third doses of Covid vaccines for vulnerable people with weak immune systems has gone "badly wrong", say charities.
On 2 September, NHS England sent out guidance to doctors saying this third dose should be given at least eight weeks after the second jab, and at a time when the patient is not receiving treatment that may make the vaccine less likely to work.But people have taken to social media to express their frustration at not being able to access a jab, despite the rollout of the separate booster programme for the over-50s and at-risk groups.
"I have spent days speaking to doctors, consultants, the CCG and I am still no closer to having my vaccine booked. Kidney Care UK has passed on the names of more than 80 GP practices to NHS England which it says were not currently assisting people with a third dose.
