Handy tips if you still haven’t got your vaccine appointment:
- If you are the main family carer for your relative with a learning disability, contact your GP surgery and ask to be flagged up as an unpaid carer on your patient record
-
If you are caring for someone with a learning disability and they haven’t had their appointment yet contact their GP surgery and ask for them to be put on the GP’s Learning Disability register
