This is a post from Stockport sites but I’m sure it’ll be happening elsewhere too. Please make sure your elderly family and friends are aware x

Unfortunately, we’ve been advised that in areas around Greater Manchester older residents are being targeted by COVID scams.

Greater Manchester Police has been alerted but we would appreciate your help in sharing with your networks to warn the older population in Stockport.

Bolton NHS Foundation Trust reported that patients in their 90s have received phone calls to say they’ll be having their COVID vaccinations at home and someone will be coming to their address on certain times/dates to do this.

Please make people aware that currently no one will be contacted to have their vaccine at home.

Please also find details below about how the vaccination appointment system will work in Stockport:

• If you are registered with a GP in Stockport, you will be contacted directly by your GP practice either by letter, phone or text message.

• If you live in Stockport but are registered with a practice outside the borough, you will be contacted by representatives from that local authority area.

• If you receive a phone call, the caller will identify themselves and say they are calling on behalf of your GP and they are getting in touch about booking an appointment for a Coronavirus vaccine.

• The caller will then offer dates and times for you to attend clinic. They will also give the location of the site where you will receive it. This may not be your usual surgery.

• If you are receiving the Pfizer vaccination, you will also be given the time, date and location for the second dose of the vaccination. It is vital, you return and keep your second appointment 21 days later.

• The callers booking vaccinations will not ask for any other personal details. They certainly will not ask to visit your house or ask for any money. Sadly, we have also already been alerted to possible phone scams with callers asking for payment for access to vaccinations.

• Once you have received the vaccination you must not drive for 15 minutes afterwards. You will need to remain in clinic until that time has elapsed.

• If you have any queries about the vaccine either before or afterwards you can call the Stockport helpline on 0161 426 9910.

Thank you for your help in passing on this vital information to the older population in Stockport.

A lot of us are struggling this year. Keep shaking, stay strong and keep safe ###x

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less from people but more from yourself.

You have two choices... smile and close this page,
or LIKE this and pass it along to someone else to SHARE the lesson.
