I’m 25 on august 2nd so am basically 25 yet I’ve been excluded from the roll out today.

Oh for gods sakes op

Go do something else. Read a book maybe. Perhaps a calendar?

PiuVinoPerFavore · 08/06/2021 12:14

Hilarious! I'm not far off 65, only a few years to go. Please can I have my pension and retire now?

JellyTumble · 08/06/2021 12:16

You’re not basically 25, hun. You’re 24.

Calm down.

hellhavenofury · 08/06/2021 12:18

I am basically a millionaire, oh wait, I AM NOT! :D

@Ratherbe67

They can book if they are 25 before the 1st July
And you can't book because you don't.

It's quite straightforward.

namechange30455 · 08/06/2021 12:23

Do you not understand that they have to put the cut off somewhere?!

SouthOfFrance · 08/06/2021 12:24

This has to be a wind up thread, surely? Confused

Kinneddar · 08/06/2021 12:24

Well I am very close to 25 it could be argued people born on July 1st are still 24

🙄 there has to be a cut off point though
It's not rocket science. And no you're 24 you're not basically 25 at all

idontlikealdi · 08/06/2021 12:25

Wow. Is it really that hard to understand? The mind boggles.

WTFisNext · 08/06/2021 12:25

You're a whole month away from the current cut off date criteria for your area. There's no 'basically' to it. There'll be thousands in exactly the same position as you which is why the cut off date has been drawn up.

Just wait your turn, they'll get to you before you know it.

MrsTophamHat · 08/06/2021 12:26

It's coming down all the time. I'm 34 and I only got called for my jab two weeks ago. You'll probably be called up in a week or so.

implantsandaDyson · 08/06/2021 12:27

You will be able to get your vaccine when it's your turn - that's how it's been working, surely this isn't news to you, most 5 year olds understand the concept.

GreenTeaBlackCoffeeAndRedWine · 08/06/2021 12:27

Oh come on, it's moving fast enough, you'll get it before long. I'm younger than you, they'll get to our age group soon enough.

Thedogscollar · 08/06/2021 12:27

Ha ha OP you're having a laugh going on about being basically 25 when you aren't then giving yourself the username @Ratherbe67
Make your mind upGrin
Don't sweat you will get your vaccine🙄

Pyewackect · 08/06/2021 12:28

You’ll be in the next group and you won’t have to wait long.

MrsTulipTattsyrup · 08/06/2021 12:30

I’m much closer to being 50 than you are to being 25, which means I’m just as vulnerable as someone who qualified for groups 1-9 by being a few weeks older than me, but I had to wait for my age group, and so do you. It’ll probably be 2 weeks at most till you’re called.

minou123 · 08/06/2021 12:30

I'm basically a size 8. I have to lose 15 stone first, but you know, in my head I'm a size 8.

TheDogsMother · 08/06/2021 12:31

I really wouldn't get too stressed about it as the next age group will be called very soon.

Prongate · 08/06/2021 12:45

You need to grow up a bit first OP - in more ways than one.

Thefaceofboe · 08/06/2021 13:05

I’m basically 25 😂😂😂 you have been excluded because you’re still 24. There has to be a cut off somewhere

firstevernamechange · 08/06/2021 13:07

It's frustrating, I know.
I was not happy when they dropped the cut off to 34 (I'm 33), but your time will come soon. Next time they drop the age limit, you are guaranteed to be included.

JorisBonson · 08/06/2021 13:08

I remember being 24 and thinking I knew everything.

MargaretThursday · 08/06/2021 13:10

🤣

When dh got the call I asked if I could book mine at the same time. They asked how old I was. 44. No, was the answer, because they were only booking 45 and over. I did point out that I was 45 the very next day!

You have to draw the line somewhere!

denverRegina · 08/06/2021 13:10
