Aged 36.. just manged to book booster via NHS

I just managed to book my booster on NHS website, I am 36. I did get mine a month earlier than my cohort and I have mild asthma but it's not been letting me and I have been checking daily, so something must have changed.

I did read online it will open up to over 30s on Monday so I think it's the usual website opening up a couple of days before they announce.

Good luck everyone!

Thank you! Just managed to book mine and I’m 32. I checked this morning and I wasn’t able to.

DH and I just booked ours - aged 33 and 34. No underlying conditions (although I'm pregnant but not sure the system knows or cares about that). We had our second doses in July/August.

INeedtobealone · 11/12/2021 19:15

Dh and I have booked ours tonight for just before Christmas, I'm 35, he's 39.

sittingonacornflake · 11/12/2021 19:17

Thank you so much for sharing, 32 and just booked mine.

Devolo · 11/12/2021 19:28

Oh amazing, thanks so much for sharing that information. I've just booked mine (I'm 39).

coffeeandbiscuit · 11/12/2021 20:12

Thank you! 34 and nothing that would make me jump the queue, but managed to get booked for end Dec.

LizzieSiddal · 11/12/2021 20:14

My Dd was sent a text by her gp practice, so she booked and had it. She’s only 27 with no health issues at all. She thought she’d get turned away but she didn’t.

legalseagull · 11/12/2021 20:27

Mine is still refusing me. I'm 36

sarah246 · 11/12/2021 21:00

Divorced2kids · 11/12/2021 21:21

Booked thank you age 35

Serendip20 · 11/12/2021 21:29

I’m mid 30s and have just booked a booster appointment for tomorrow! Thank you OP!!

CandleWick4 · 11/12/2021 21:33

Managed to book mine too. Just wanted to check - my confirmation email doesn’t say booster just ‘dose of the vaccine’ is everyone else’s saying that?

TokenGinger · 11/12/2021 21:36

I'm 32 and got my text from my GP two weeks ago to book in. They seem to be getting through them quickly!

Yes mine does too
ApplesinmyPocket · 11/12/2021 21:53

Thanks so much for this, LittleRen. My DD (32) has been checking regularly but had stopped trying.

Booked for 23 Dec now.

ProudDada · 11/12/2021 21:58

Unable to book in Scotland still as under 40.

Dramateacher1 · 11/12/2021 22:00

I’ve just booked my booster, but the confirmation email says the following…

If you have a booked a 3rd dose you will not be able to get vaccinated without your referral letter.

I had my second Pizer in August, I’m
38 and have no referral letter.

HairyScaryMonster · 11/12/2021 22:00

Thank you! Booked for 5 Jan 👍

WotgunShedding · 11/12/2021 22:03

Booked for Monday, thank you! My confirmation email does say to bring:

your referral letter if you have booked a 3rd dose for people with a severely weakened immune system

If you have a booked a 3rd dose you will not be able to get vaccinated without your referral letter.

Not sure whether they’ll jab me but it’s worth a shot (sorry)

That's for people who are booking a third primary dose because they are severely immunosupressed. Although the vaccine is the same (unless it's moderna in which case the third dose is the full dose, not a half) it's counted as part of their initial vaccine schedule and not a booster. Those people get a fourth dose, their booster, 3 months after that.

So in short, if you aren't in that category and are just booking a booster, then the comment doesn't apply to you.

Giraffefantastico · 11/12/2021 22:10

Thank you OP!

34 and now booked for next weekend

Ah thanks for explaining. 31 and just booked for myself and DH for next weekend.
