30-35 waiting, 35-40 endlessly trying - jab updates

Letting me in now! Presumably it only shows Pfizer/Moderna options? I didn't get the 'are you pregnant' question.

I'm 1984 I have been phoning the doctors. I didn't realise I could book online.

Yeah pretty sure AZ only clinics don't show. Our nearest centre hasn't been on the list for DH or myself at all and I can only assume it's na raise they only have AZ

Managed to book for the same days as my husband, big hospital hub in London, different vaccination centres but i don't suppose it matters as their guidance says if you're under 40 you'll be only offered Pfizer/Moderna.

Bring on the dead arm! :)

Haven't RTWFT but has anyone else been unable to book their first appointment because their are no slots for the second one? So frustrating!

I’m 35 in June and managed to get a vaccine booked for next Friday! It wouldn’t let me do it this morning but I got lucky just now. Husband is 35 after July and can’t book yet.

Spikeheart this happened to me so I went back a screen and said I’d like my second vaccine at a different location and then it gave me alternatives with availability for the second jab.

Thanks freedles, unfortunately when I do that the nearest centre is 60 miles away!

Sept 85 in London and can now finally book!

@SpikeDearheart yeah I can't get a second at the same place at the moment, and the next nearest is an hour away so I'm reluctant to book that. Just hoping the nearer one releases more appointments ASAP!

Oh how frustrating for you both! I hope something comes up soon. I guess you could always book, go for your first jab and then try to get a cancellation but obviously not ideal as you run the risk of not getting lucky.

I know, it's a bit too much of a gamble for me I think

@freedles yeah, if I can't get one at the nearer one in the next couple of days I'll have to do that. It's not that the drive is bad, just frustrating to know there is a nearer one

It is frustrating isn't it @springhasalmostsprung I live in a major city, not the arse end of nowhere, it seems mad there are no appointments in 8-12 weeks closer than 60 miles!

Does anyone know how long it tends to take from booking open to a procare text coming through? I can book from today (35) but hardly any sites nearby available so wondering whether to wait until procare

I’m 34 and it’s letting me book! Sadly no slots available. I’m 35 next month so assuming that’s why.

@SpikeDearheart I'm in a small town so I didn't expect one on my doorstep, but I know people who've had them through work etc who've had them in either of the next door towns 20 minutes away. The one I can book my first at is about 25/30 mins away and I'm okay with that, but an hour is pushing it!
@shalalala I don't even know what procare is!

March 86 and just been able to book - East Cambs.

Only options are miles away so I can't book. Very annoyed. When do they release new ones?

@MapleBee there doesn't seem to be a set time as far as I can tell. Which is annoying

Just booked a vaccine for tomorrow. Age 35 (late 1985). I found the booking process very difficult as I don't have a car and there is only one vaccination centre in my city. It would sometimes show that they had slots but they would disappear before I could book them. But after about an hour of trying I have succeeded!

@MapleBee just keep hitting refresh! Worked for me.

@jessetta28 same for me yesterday but worked today so try again tomorrow.

@runwayqueen yes

I only got asked about whether I'd had or was planning to have a flu jab. Have booked for a hospital - no idea what I'll get, just deliriously happy that I have booked my appointments! Whoop whoop!
