I'm 54 and got a text yesterday from GP to say I could book now. Going next week.

Our local newspaper said this morning that over 50's are expected to be able to book from next week. I'm in over 56 group and booked mine last weekend but 1st available appointment was next week.

Couple of friends in Yorkshire have had GP texts to book today (51)

@SpecialToffee

What is the procedure for group 6? I fall into that category but haven’t been able to book on the main booking system. GP confirmed I’m Group 6 but said they are “working through them as it’s a big group”

WombatChocolate · 11/03/2021 21:35

Group 6 originally had to book via GP but have been able to book via national booking site for about a week or so, as long as they are flagged on the system as being Group 6.

55 have booked but not until 4th April South East

yearinyearout · 12/03/2021 20:12

DH got his text and I didn't! He's only a few weeks older than me, both 51.

Humberbear · 12/03/2021 20:47

Got a text from doctors this morning and I'm booked in for next Saturday. I'm 52.

Mn753 · 13/03/2021 09:28

Thanks, does anyone know how far down the national booking system is?

@Mn753 I think the national booking system is allowing 54 upwards right now

Snorkelface · 13/03/2021 10:37

Received text on Thursday, 51, slots available the following day at vaccination centre an hour's walk away (London) when I received the text, the following day there were no slots available there for over a week. No booking slots available at GP alternative at the moment, says to check back every day.

  1. Tried to book again this morning. Still no luck.

However, a couple of hours later I got a call from GP with a local appointment for next week.

Veuvestar · 15/03/2021 13:47

51, got text from gp this morning, and booked via their link, but NHS website still saying no. I’m in the NW

PradaBallbag · 15/03/2021 13:49

Yep I'm 51 and I was invited to book last week. I'm going this evening.

LIZS · 15/03/2021 13:53

That was wrong apparently. Notts are doing over 50s Smile

Oh what a shame. I was all excited thinking somewhere was on 40s

Still 50s is fantastic Grin

Notts had over 40's advertised this morning. Took my booking then crashed and has gone back to over 50's - so DH will have to wait...

Eve · 15/03/2021 16:29

Where I am in SE , DH 54 was able to book this afternoon ( not this morning ) I'm 51 and still not allowing me to book.

cathyandclare · 15/03/2021 17:02

I'm 53 and was just able to book online.
