Just tried online and it told me I'm not eligible. I'm late 40s and 2nd dose was end of July. I wonder if there's still some activity going on behind the scenes to update the system.

Really? How annoying, mine worked fine. The front page for booking days 3 months though walk in doesn’t yet

I saw this and just tried to book…still not eligible (had 2nd dose in July)

MelissaRainbow · 08/12/2021 07:00

I'm getting 'technical difficulties' when I try, maybe it's still being updated?

Tinysnickers · 08/12/2021 07:02

I get one step further than normal, it now asks if I am a health and social care worker but I'm not so then it says I can't.

capercaillie · 08/12/2021 07:07

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this - had a booster booked for Boxing Day but managed to bring forward to thsi week!

runthebank · 08/12/2021 07:13

119 just told me I'm not eligible and they knew nothing about the rules changing today. I think it's just a timing thing and will sorted out later once the systems catch up.

MelissaRainbow · 08/12/2021 07:13

I'll keep trying - thank you for the info!

Muuuuuuuum · 08/12/2021 07:14

Won't let me book either. Guess will just try again later.

NuttyinNotts · 08/12/2021 07:23

Just managed to book mine for about 4 months from 2nd shot. Under 40 but health and social care worker.

Blaziken · 08/12/2021 07:34

I can't book and I had mine at the end of July. I'm 40.

SparklingLime · 08/12/2021 07:38

This is weird… bookable after two months?? But not.

I've just tried and been told I am not eligible. I'm 40 and my second dose was early July.

Same here.
Tinysnickers · 08/12/2021 07:47

And now the site has gone tits up.

CarrieBlue · 08/12/2021 07:59

Managed to bring mine forward by a fortnight last night, but then that just makes it two weeks short of six months 🤷‍♀️

ScarlettSunset · 08/12/2021 08:00

I just tried too. Was able to get on to the site, but like others, told I'm not eligible.
I'm 4.5 months since 2nd dose and in my late 40s

RunAwayNow · 08/12/2021 08:06

Just booked mine for tomorrow - my second was at the end of June so I'm wondering if they're changing eligibility in date order or something. Sounds like it should start working for everyone in the next day or two.

MelissaRainbow · 08/12/2021 08:13

I wonder if this means that we can also go to walk-in centres as of today?

RunAwayNow · 08/12/2021 08:17

Just heard from someone I know who works in the NHS digital service - he reckons it should be working for everyone by late afternoon.

ILookAtTheFloor · 08/12/2021 08:26

I checked for my husband and it's still not working for him.

ferneytorro · 08/12/2021 08:58

Working here, I’ve booked mine. Had second one in July. Is it by area? I’m Lancashire/rubble valley, was given loads of options in terms of centres and times including one for tomorrow.

CheesePleaseLoueese · 08/12/2021 12:24

I’m 40 and had my second dose mid July. Won’t let me book. I’ll try again later this afternoon.

Blaziken · 08/12/2021 12:43

I have just booked after not being able to earlier

YetAnotherWalk · 08/12/2021 12:45

Computer still says no. It's probably IT stuff in the background and sheer volume of people trying to get on there.
