    I wonder if any one has had any success getting a vaccination for Covid yet?
    According to official guide lines...front line health workers and people working in care homes can get vaccinated.
    I reality it seems NHS workers can but not Private? Yet it is Private Pods that do the routine care in nursing homes.
    I have contacted my NHS trust, GP and Welsh assembly minister....all with no way forward. The College of Podiatry don't seem to be fighting for us.

    Thanks for this.
    I finally had a reply that in Aneurin Bevin the health board, not GP is deciding who get the vaccine.
    They told me that I can only get it if registered with both the HCPC Plus Wales Health Inspectorate. The College of Podiatry has now joined in to challenge this, as we don't need to be registered with the HIW as Podiatrists!
    What a fuss hey!
    But I battle on........
