40+ can now book boosters online

[RelentlessForwardProgress]

I've just managed to book my Jab for early December. All week it has been saying check back from Monday 22nd for 40+ boosters, but its now booking appointments.

Good. I hope there will be a good take up.

When was your 2nd jab? It says I’m not eligible

You have to be 5 months after your 2nd and should then be able to book from 6 months.
I booked mine this morning but 1st available date was 6m & 2 weeks.

Mine also says not eligible. 2nd jab was end of June so should be ok?

My second jab was 14th June and it offered me dates for booster from December 13th onwards

Thank you very much. Jab booked for 6 months and 2 days. I'm keen to get it done.

Thank you OP, I have just booked. In my 40’s second dose was in March. The reason I had it early is no longer valid so this is great news.

Still says my DP isn’t eligible

Mine isn't eligible yet. My actual 6 month date is 28th Dec so I assume I'll be on the booking system from 29th Nov.

Oh hooray! I'm not quite five months yet but this is good news.

Do you get a text or anything from NHS or GP to remind/ prompt?

Is it 152 days after the second dose that you can book? That takes me up to 3 December, so I suspect my actual vaccine will be in early January. This is all reminding me of the stress of getting that first dose, when everyone I knew in London seemed to be getting vaccines even if they were 5 years younger than me, and I had to wait another 2 months for mine.

Just booked DH, his 2nd was June 13th, booster booked for December 12th. I’ll book mine in a fortnight

Thanks - just booked mine. First date I was offered was actually 180 days rather than 182 but don’t suppose that matters!

Thanks I’m booked in

You have to be 6 months past your 2nd vaccine-a friend tried when they were 5 days shy and although she has booked, was still sent away

Thanks op. My 2nd jab was 9th may but was no longer eligible due to asthma criteria changes. Managed to book for tomorrow.

Thanks for this. I was waiting until Monday but just tried now. To be fair it only gave me appointments after my 6 month date but I have it all booked in at the ocal centre and a convenient time. Loads of appointments available.

Local!

Thank you, just booked in for next week.

It’s offered me Christmas Eve - no thanks! (I reacted badly both times before).

Anyone heard of boosters being given to 39 year olds who turn up, perhaps at the end of the day?

I’m 6 months past my second dose and really really would like a booster...

Thank you, just booked mine. 10 days after I pass 6 months and a clear week before Christmas.

Just booked for husband. He is 5m tomorrow. Dates from 20nd dec on but we’ve booked after Xmas
