I realise some people under 50 have been able to book via the nhs online booking system. But it has officially changed this morning to accept over 45s - so if you are over 45 and can't book online - please call 119 and they should book you over the phone.

The emails are really coming through today - I have 6 vaccine appointments according to the e-mails Easter Shock so about a 3 day delay on e-mails.

Logged in to check all reference numbers and thankfully am only due to have 2 vaccines, others it said error. DH is getting very confused as its his mobile they come through to as well as my e-mail.

I’ve been trying since Monday, but it keeps saying as I’ve cancelled my appointment I have to re book both appointments again. Only I haven’t booked or cancelled an appointment previously as I wasnt eligible! Cannot get anything local.

Received an NHS text this morning inviting me to book but still none of the local centres are coming up.

I’ll keep trying but may have to travel if this doesn’t change!

Well I'm now up to 8 vaccine appointments according to e-mails, think someone maybe trying to kill me off. Though when I try all the numbers only two work so its right online. There was nothing in our county at all. I had that you've not turned up for your appointment to, for an appointment on 30th April the NHS cancelled. That you just book them both again, I found it was best to put no to do you want to go to same place again as it always said well none available we've cancelled your first when you put yes. Though the other day if I quickly pressed back and changed to no could get one, well 8 it appears.

Well waiting a few days worked.
Last Monday I could only book a minimum of 45 minutes away and last night I booked at our local centre for both me and DH.
Not looking forward to it and fingers crossed it doesn’t make me ill as I have to be somewhere the evening of my first jab appointment

And the confirmations came this morning, although DHs were instant
