Looks like the nhs covid vaccination has dropped to 50+

[NaturalBlondeYeahRight]

Still says 55 plus but two friends have just done it aged 51. They are always a couple of days late to update the front page. Give it a go if you fit criteria- still not quite at my age range.

Yes, I agree. I don't know if it's only some areas though where they are ahead. I know many 50-54s getting texts at the moment.

Yes it has. I have friends who booked this morning.

Our area has just announced they’ve finished group 6 and are now doing group 7-9.

It was already 50 in my area, friends of mine have been letting everyone know for a couple of days

Yes, 3 friends of mine booked today thanks to MN!

Yes, my colleague and her husband received texts today both age 53.

Still not available in my area (Northumberland) - I tried 10 minutes ago. I’m 53.

DH got a text today, he's only 45! Through the GP surgery.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight thank you! I have just booked myself in for next week.

It's not been publicised but I wouldn't be surprised if, once GPs have finished group 6 they move straight on to group 10 and let the big vaccine centres handle groups 7 to 9.

I booked mine about half an hour ago despite it still saying 55 on the front page. I'm early 50's

DH has just been called-he's under 50, no health conditions. I did tell him they obviously know he's put on weight during lockdown

Sounds like group 9 is now able to book though in a couple of weeks we should have done all the first set of priority groups. That's pretty amazing!

Down to 40+ here.

DH and I are both 49. We thought he might fall into Group 6 but his consultant said not.

He got text from local PCN a couple of weeks ago to book vaccine and has now been done.

Because we thought his invite was on age, not vulnerability, I tried the link (typing it, not using his - it was a generic one without a code or anything) but got a message that I had already booked

I know it’s my fault for jumping the gun, but we genuinely thought it was a case of them having moved into our age group.

Has anyone had a message like that and then received an invite in due course? I’m worried I’ve somehow cocked things up in the system as I’d be expecting to hopefully get a call in the next few weeks now.

I had the text from GP surgery and I’m 48. I’m currently recovering from Covid so I will have to wait a couple of weeks but I am so relieved that I can have it soon. Having Covid had been awful and I never want to go through it again!

Yes I think this too

A family member, 52, booked but I haven't been able to yet (48).

My area of Suffolk have been doing 50+ for a couple of weeks, husband and I both got a text invite last week. Strangely I know 2 17year olds who have had their’s too and they have no idea why they were invited.

My children's secondary schools are getting cases again, so it feels a race against the clock now... One child already had Covid in November, so hoping the other won't bring it back before the vaccination.

Yes on the NHS website it's over 50's although still says over 55's, my husband is 50 and has just booked his!

My 45 year old brother get texted today, no health conditions. They are motoring through

40+ here, north west, I’m booked in at the weekend.

Have the over 50s who booked had a text from their GP? I’m confused about whether it’s worth trying (am 52). Does it matter whether you have a text or letter or just book online without as to where you can get the vaccine?
