Hi. I'm really glad you've finally got your appointments - I remember how stressed I was last spring when it looked as if those of us with private health insurance were not included in the vaccine rollout plan.
Just so you are aware, you may find it difficult to get your vaccination certificate. Many of us with PHI are not able to use the APP to download the certificate (it just doesn't recognise the temporary health number). Some health centres are helpful and will print the certificate off for you. Others will not help, including our health centre who point blank refused to do anything to help us access them (and I speak Spanish so there was no language barrier!). Hopefully your health centre will be OK, but if you do have a problem get in touch with me again as I have a contact who can help - in fact, it was through his contact that we eventually got ours.
Very best wishes.
