How to get a booster in Dorset?

11 replies

Really struggling with this.
I am 47 and 6 months post 2nd vac. I would love to get a booster but how?
I have an appt booked 35miles away on 6th Jan- I check every day and there are no nearer or sooner options. My nearest ( and only?) walk-in according to the website is 20miles away and only open 10-3 tomorrow so I assume will be packed as is obviously serving a massive area.
Any tips on getting a jab sooner?

I booked one last night for 21st Dec in Poole, there was also option of 19th

We booked fairly easily in Christchurch

Booked easily for following week at Haines Motor Museum if you're N Dorset.

Hmmm! I'm not seeing those options. Do I need to cancel my 6th Jan booking to be able to see other options?

Yes, you need to cancel your existing appointment in order to see other appointments. It's very annoying!

There’s a button to click that says ‘view available appointments without cancelling’ on the website

Depends where you are in Dorset but Yeovil, Exeter or Haynes Motor Museum are all options.

Kings Park Community Hospital in Boscombe were doing walk-ins, it's a 10 minute walk from Pokesdown Station. They were open until about 5.

Yes, that's what I've been doing and it has no options. I have now cancelled my original booking and it is showing me far more options- still 20+ miles away but I can get one next week.

I went to Haynes. Plenty of parking there and well organised.

Thanks all. Booked at Haynes next week. The key was cancelling my appointment first before trying to rebook and ignoring the 'check availability before you rebook' button.
