Anyone else's vaccine location changed last-minute?

Got my text & email reminder for my second jab appointment.

Date & time are as per my booking, reference number is the same, but the location has changed (it's in the same town, luckily!).

When my original 2nd jab booking was cancelled by the NHS, I got a text & email to tell me of the change. Not had any prior warning about this location change so how do I know it's not an admin error?

I've tried calling 119 but they were no help at all. I guess I'll just have to turn up early at the new location and sprint across town if it's not there!

Anyone else had this?

Some clinics have swapped location over time - Epsom to Sandown race course for example.

Check your appointment online on the website as DH and I both had an error in our text reminder, mine was wrong day and time, his was wrong time.

Thanks for the replies.
I just checked on the website via 'Manage your booking' and it's showing as the new site location. Oh well, I'll have to assume it's correct. I was just a little surprised by the lack of notification about the change.

Just by way of an update/word of caution...I did eventually get.a text yesterday informing me of the change of location - happy days I thought.

Then I got to my appointment today to be told I was down for AZ...having had Moderna for my first!

If any of my many reminders had mentioned which sodding vaccine I was having I would of course have queried it. I now have to wait 24 hours to try and rebook. I had even googled to try and find out which vaccines today's location used, but couldn't find the info.

Oh and I didn't mention this before as didn't seem relevant, but it's now mildly amusing...the venue where I have to try and rebook at (fully booked next week, so the helpful guy told me today) is where I had my first jab & was originally supposed to have my second but they bloody cancelled it!!

I would advise anyone getting a last-minute change of venue notification to double-check they are intending to give you the correct vaccine.

And breathe.....
