To think I should be able to get the Covid vaccine

[Ratherbe67]

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

You’ll be next I’m not sure why your that bothered you’ve had to wait as it is to now , a week or 2 longer at the most as the target is offer to all adults by the end of the month.

I'm 48, therefore close to 67, so the government should pay me a pension, free bus pass, free subscriptions.....

Hahaha
You can’t argue anything, you’re not 25, it’s fairly simple.

Thoughts and prayers

That made me proper laugh out loud, brilliant response

It's exactly the same as going to school.

If you were born on 1st September 2006 you're in year 9 currently but if you were born on 31st August 2006 you're currently in year 10.

The line has to stop somewhere just to give the admin a chance to catch up.

You'll get there eventually.

I've got mine today, I'm 30. I booked it 10 days or so ago, so I doubt you'll have much longer to wait. they can't go through everyone in the country who is "almost 25".

You are 24. You have to wait untill your age bracket is called just like everyone else has had to do. Nothing about your situation makes you special.

I don’t even know how to respond to this? I’ve seen some ridiculous things on Mumsnet but for goodness sake. You are 24.

…. You and thousands of others OP? You’re not the only 24 years old with a birthday coming up imminently.

That's just the cut off. Be patient you will get to book your soon.

Stop it 😂

My youngest is 23 and had his txt call up for the jab a couple of weeks ago. He had it last week along with his girlfriend.I think some areas and HA trusts are more advanced with their vaccination program as several of his friends have had their call up as well.

Here you go OP, have a cookie and go and play with the other children.

🍪

My husband just missed the cut-off for the 30+ opening a few weeks ago. Annoying to just miss it but that's life, the line has to be drawn somewhere. I expect you won't be waiting long, I'd be surprised if its not open for you to book by Friday.

@BarbaraPapa

A whole new meaning to the word 'basically'.

Up there with "literally"

Thank you OP for a most enjoyable thread!

Is this a strength boast about being young?

Stealth boast!

Maybe OP identifies as 25?

No if you’re not letting people who are under 25 have people that are born on the 1st July shouldn’t as they aren’t 25 either. So yes they are letting 24 year olds have it

Anyone hear a stuck record? 🤣

I am 50, DH is 49. I was allowed to book my vaccine a few weeks before him but he actually got a slot 4 days after mine so it didn't make a difference. Dinnae fash.
