I missed my appointment by not taking due care and attention to the important information I received.
Call me stupid but I tranlsated the original message and the date format changed.
Not really sure what to do now. I could go to Torreveja today on the chance they might fit me.

I dont mind sarcastic comments as i deserve it.

On the covid jab thread (yeah, I know, there are now dozens of them as a new one gets started every time someone gets and appointment) the government site says if you were unable to attend an appointment you will be contacted in the next week.

If appointments are sent by SMS, posters on here are saying the civil protection officer at the door will check your mobile to see if you have an appointment before letting you in.

When I went for my appointment at Ocio in Torrevieja the civil protection officer was looking at the mobiles of people entering but she only glanced at the screen so I don't think she was actually checking the date and time but just that you had an appointment at Ocio.

I think it would be worth going, if you are challenged then you can explain why you missed the appointment.

I’ve been in the UK for a couple of weeks, where a close relative died this morning and, I too, missed my Tuesday appointment. It’ll be a several weeks before the funeral and before I get back to Spain. I asked Steve Ford (interpreter) to tell the Lo Maribu surgery of this and, an eye appointment. He told me that they said to book my appointments once I return.
