I feel exactly the same @Tinks177. I'm 36, pregnant and work in a FE college with 7000 students. Everyone I know has been vaccinated now

You guys definitely deserve yours before me, I'm really hoping the national system opens to 35+ soon! Although the surgery 5 minutes up the road would be sooooo much better than the hours round trip to a hub

I'm 36 and got lucky today, a local vaccination centre had 300 spare pfizers and said anyone could walk in for one. Had to wait in the queue for a while but so pleased I've had it done.

I got lucky yesterday - 37 and spare Pfizer's .
Feel ok - bit achy arm and legs

@Tiberius12 how did you hear about the spare vaccines?

Just word of mouth, my friend heard from someone else and told me. When we were stood in the queue people were texting their friends to tell them about it. I just got really lucky.

Ah I see. Not sure I know anyone useful like that to be able to notify me!

The Telegraph is saying booking will open to the 35+ ages within days. Over 600,000 appointments were booked within 48 hrs when booking opened for 38-39.

My SIL (34) got invite from GP and had her jab yesterday.

Sunday Times is apparently saying 35+ from Monday, so I would have thought you should start being able to book some time tomorrow

I didn’t realize bookings hadn’t opened up to over 35s yet - it sounds like I was lucky to get jabbed last week! (I’m 36)

Newspapers reporting that over-35s will get the call next week.

I’m booked for this Friday 21st may- Pfizer. I’m in Berkshire and born July 1984

@brokenamp via the website?

Oh wow! Maybe I won't have too much longer to wait! Do you book your second the same time you book your first?

I'm 32, got a text from my GP on Wednesday and am booked in for this Tuesday. No health conditions

@PremierLynn out of interest are you registered with the GP who's actually running the vaccine clinic? We seem to miss out if we're with a surgery that isn't the prime vaccine one

@springhasalmostsprung No, it's booked at a stadium in the next town.
My DH has been booked for weeks (over 40s), at a local vacc hub, and his is now a week after mine!

Obviously every jab is brilliant news, we just need everyone done.... but the variation between location is crazy!

Just tried via website, not eligible to book (born in 85)

Me too @stitchmaker85 and I am 1984

I tried too, also 1985

The website is queuing has it opened up further?

I am getting mine through gp today but keep checking for you all!!

Still no luck despite queue!

Can’t book mine either, was no 78 in queue but no luck - 1984.
