From what we have seen at Mjog, many people have become a lot more receptive to receiving advice via text messaging than before the COVID-19 outbreak

In today's daily briefing held at Downing Street, Health Secretary Matt Hancock encouraged everyone over the age of 70, who is yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19, to contact their GP. This encouragement to millions of over 70s to contact their General Practice will result in clogged phone lines and anxious patients across the United Kingdom.
