45-49s jabs news, 40-44s watching and waiting thread

[MRex]

Follow-on to the happy thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4210673-Can-the-40-49-age-group-now-book-their-vaccine.

(I'm jabbed, but just here to read happy news of jabs and try to book DH when it's his time.)

Great new title. Let’s hope it’s another happy thread of lots of people able to book and being jabbed. Thanks for setting it up.

placemaking, same position as you mrex! I'll read about it here sooner than In bbc/sky news and I need to book DH who is 43

Thanks @MRex

🤞

checking in for gossip

Will be watching this thread so I can tell DH (a slip of a boy at 44 and 11/12ths) when to book. Thanks for starting it, OP.

I can't tell you how grateful I was for the previous thread tipping me off about booking Monday night. Fingers crossed for 40 - 44 group being able to book soon.

76,123 first doses yesterday, a gentle start so let's see how the 40s do tomorrow.

Waiting for the next update on the 40-44 go

Thanks for setting this up, I will be checking it many times a day I'm sure! Very keen to get the vaccine booked as soon as I can.

Placemarking

Watching and waiting - 44 and a bit jealous of my 45 year old DH who got booked in the day before the official announcement thanks to the previous thread. Hopefully not too much longer.

Checking in, 41 and hoping I could get vaccinated by the end of this thread!

Here’s hoping for bumper supplies, more approved jabs and excellent confidence and uptake across the UK....and the rest of the world too.

Love the idea of the 40 to 44 year olds watching and waiting to pounce at any moment. Hopefully it won't be long

41yr old here - can’t wait for my turn!! And still very happy to receive AZ.

My DH is younger so he has to wait

Managed to book both of mine yesterday but need to change the 2nd one as I forgot the at end of term school closes earlier . Anyone know how I do this?

I think getting the 40 somethings vaccinated is just fantastic. Of course important to do the most vulnerable first but the 40-49s are such an important chunk of the working age population. Not to mention we make up a significant chunk of parents of children who probably will be waiting to be vaccinated for some time (if ever). Once we have all had ours that will be another huge step forward.

Got mine today. Booked Monday afternoon.
At our local library they were doing jabs for anyone who could get there so I sent my 36 year old cafe manager and she got jabbed there and then. She was so pleased as her dad died of Covid so she has been anxious and we’ve been dealing with the public throughout except for jan when I stayed closed

Same here @MRex

Pleased my brothers have finally been able to book

I am 44 and has mine yesterday. Feeling rough today but just shows it's working I suppose.

Anyone know how I do this?

You have to cancel the second one online and rebook but you can’t see what availability there is to rebook until you’ve cancelled the first one

I'm precisely 2 weeks from being 45, but didn't qualify this time. DH 46 and just back from his first vaccination (sore arm so far). Watching with anticipation...

Website not behaving well here; keeps offering a location and then saying no appointments, or getting as far as selecting an exact time and then saying no appointments. So I think there has been a nice flood of bookings using up current availability and we might have to wait a few more days for supply to be promised and hence more slots (SE)

Had!
