Writing a letter directly to the practice manager is probably a more
effective way of getting it on your records. The problem is that if you
tell the GP during a consultation, he or she will be busy and needing to
get on to the next person and may either forget or not have time to take
the few minutes needed to mark it in the notes. (Since GPs don't
normally record vaccinations, it takes a few minutes to figure out how
to record them properly with the software. When you know you're running
late and have a queue of patients still to see, it's too easy just to
not bother right then!)


All the best,

Sarah
