Hi @anthony68, the COVID vaccine is recommended for people living with dementia. Here's some information from the Alzheimer's Association.

Older adults and people with serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19, according to public health and clinical experts.

It must be frustrating not to get in touch with your mother's doctor to get his/her approval. Are you able to phone them? This is likely something you can ask about without requiring a home appointment.
