Booking 12-15 second dose?

[Hamjamwich]

These are bookable from tomorrow. Does this mean from midnight tonight ? Really want to get a slot booked before New Year

It was available yesterday…. Try now!

Booked our teen yesterday…no slots until near end of January here though…he might get it at school before that, whichever is first.

Booked ours on Friday - only because someone told me they'd seen it was available to book. They definitely originally said it would only be bookable from tomorrow.

NHS covid vaccination website isn't open to under 16 at the moment

Definitely already possible to book. I have booked one for my 14 yr old

@Hamjamwich it says it isn’t but it is. Try it!

Thank you!! Just managed to book my 14 yo dd’s and got a slot for Thursday

Can you share a link? I looked on nhs website and seems to say 12+ only bookable if vulnerable or living with vulnerable. Thanks

You have to ignore what it says and just press on through the 12-15 yr old bit. It might depend when they had their first jab? It might not permit booking th second until a certain number of weeks after first maybe but my dd had her first on 20 Oct and yest eve it let me book her second for mid January even though the words on the website suggest I wouldn’t be able to.

They are doing walk ins at my local surgery for our town, worth looking on local Facebook groups

I might wait and see if the schools are opening in Jan first. I don’t know, just seems pointless if we are heading into lockdown? Would rather they are more protected when things start to open up again. If no lockdown obviously I’ll do them all straight away.

@CrumblyCrimble I just went to book my appointment and put her details in and it let me book we an appt even though the text for 12-15 yr olds suggests it won’t be possible

Definitely bookable, just fill in their details. I booked my 13 year old a few days ago. Just go to “book a dose”. The reason it will give you Jan dates is that they can’t book until 12 weeks after their first. So for most, that’s mid to late Jan.

Just tried to book and nearest is 22 miles from Sheffield. That's a £86 return in an Uber 😆🤦

Just to add, he's over 12 weeks now.

I've juts looked for ds. Nearest is 15 miles away and no appointments until end of January, even though he's due end of December (CV). Will talk to the GP.

We have a vaccine hub at our local (large city) hospital with Pfizer.. So why try to send us so far? I've no car so no way to get there

@MargaretThursday yes definitely ring GP. They may be able to vaccinate at the surgery

Our nearest is currently 35 miles away and is a five hour round trip by public transport. I would hope more sites will come online in the next week or so but my area was very slow off the mark last time.

Nearest one miles away

I’ve tried to book for DD but it only has slots available over 30 miles away. There is a vaccination hub in our town so I’m going to wait and hopefully they will open slots there soon.

"I've juts looked for ds. Nearest is 15 miles away and no appointments until end of January, even though he's due end of December (CV). Will talk to the GP."

Ds is also coming up as needing to wait another 4 weeks. I think it must be 12 weeks for everyone on this system.

Nearest is somewhere 2 1/2 hour drive away.

Still nothing today. How's everyone else ? Mangaged to book yet ?

I booked about 20 miles away…decided it was better than not booking! Hopefully more centres will open and I can move it!

I can book 35 miles away. There are walk-ins nearer but he won't be at 12 weeks until mid Jan. I suppose we can just walk in at the time.
