@BlackLambAndGreyFalcoln

Anyone who has had their vaccination via their gp hub (as opposed to the national booking system) - when do they text you to arrange the second vaccination? My husband had his text at 9 weeks and was able to book for the following day - just trying to work out if this is standard or not.
In laws got a text at week 9 for week 10. Im on W 9.5 and haven’t heard

Jan 83, booked using the national booking site this afternoon (1:20pm) - hadn't been able to a few hours before that... not that i've been checking every few hours >.>

News says it's open from tomorrow for 38 & 39 but you can book now.

The Vaccines minister has posted on twitter that 38 and 39 year olds can now book - but I'm 39 (early 82) and still not eligible...

did we decide last time they were adding people in alphabetical order? I'm middle of the alphabet...

I’m Nov 82, been trying all day (/month) and it just let me on! Booked for this Saturday Grin

@user1471468988 My DP is Dec 82 and has booked. Sites that I think only have AZ (big racecourse and small GPs) just don't have any available appointments.

LittleRen · 12/05/2021 15:38

it won’t be a couple more weeks, I’m not sure why people are thinking that it will be. They have never left it at just two years for two weeks. It will be a week at most, more like a few days.

I’m 38 (sept 82) abs it’s let me in, but how do we know we’re def booking a centre where they have Pfizer/moderna?? I know this isn’t important to everyone, but it is to me. One of the centres I’m being offered is one I know dh had AZ at a couple of weeks ago. I might just wait till tomorrow and hope it’s all updated to only offer centres with Pfizer or moderna.

Had my first jab this morning - AZ.

Turned 40 yesterday (though got the booking invitation 2 weeks ago). Second jab booked for end of July, so 11 week gap.

dontcallmelen · 12/05/2021 15:50

Ds 41, finally able to get a slot at Guys hospital on Monday & second appointment early august, he has been trying for nearly two weeks site wouldn’t let him book as no second appointments available showing until this morning.

Silversun83 · 12/05/2021 15:50

Also Jan 83 and unable to book...

Perhaps people are being added by area as my name is near the beginning of the alphabet...

nonwonderwoman · 12/05/2021 15:52
