I'm 42, OH is 43, both fit and healthy. Non-HCPs, no underlying conditions or caring responsibilities. Surnames both at the latter end of the alphabet.

Has anybody similar to us had theirs yet? I don't want to bother my GP, but I'm thinking we can't be far off now?

GP wouldn't be able to help anyway
I'm north lanarkshire age 47 and haven't had a letter yet Sad

Rae36 · 04/05/2021 13:59

I haven't heard a thing, although I'm in Edinburgh. But none of my school pals the same age as me scattered through the country have heard anything either. We're 44, 45.

LadyJaye · 04/05/2021 14:26

Thank you both! No worries, clearly just a wee bit impatient here. Grin

I am Glasgow 47 not heard a thing but my brother nearly 50 got his this week

dementedpixie · 04/05/2021 14:32

My brother is 51 and got his a few weeks ago (he's in Glasgow)

weegiemum · 04/05/2021 14:38

I'm waiting for my 2nd appt in Glasgow. I'm 50.

mumto2unicorns · 04/05/2021 19:17

My husband and I are both 42 and nothing yet. My sil who is 49 had hers last week. Hoping we get our letters in the next couple of weeks

Sturmundcalm · 04/05/2021 22:39

47, NHS Highland - heard nothing.

Rae36 · 05/05/2021 11:53

After posting yesterday about having no news I got my letter this morning to go on Monday. I'm 44. No-one else I know of my age has had theirs. I'm at the end of the alphabet too, both first and last name, so who knows why I was first

emmathedilemma · 05/05/2021 12:02

Lothians here and 44, haven't had my letter but just rang the helpline and my appointment is in the system for a couple of weeks time.

gollymissdolly · 05/05/2021 13:05

I'm getting my second vaccine on Friday. I'm 58 and in the Lothians.

latissimusdorsi · 05/05/2021 13:26

How many weeks is that @gollymissdolly ?
The folk I know late 50s in Lothian only got 1st jab 5 or 6 weeks ago

RedactedTaeFeck · 05/05/2021 13:48

Friend who still lives in the same area she grew up in had hers a months ago (age 51). She was expecting that she might see folk from her school who also still live in the area but it was neighbours she saw, I saw a few neighbours when I went for mine too. I suspect that letter of the alphabet etc is less important than maybe postcode or doctors surgery?

Graffitiqueen · 05/05/2021 15:10

44 and got my letter today. My appt is on Monday.

emmathedilemma · 05/05/2021 15:14

I've heard a few people say their half their street was there when they went @RedactedTaeFeck so that seems to be a theme. Although some couples who are similar age have been sent to the same appointment and others have gone days apart.

Groovee · 05/05/2021 15:16

I'm Edinburgh but have noticed it's mainly by postcodes. Quite a few of my street were there when I got mine. Dh met most of our older neighbours at his.

RedcurrantPuff · 05/05/2021 15:17

I’m 47 but had mine in Feb, as I am in group 6. Waiting for my next letter now. Have heard of quite a lot of 45 - 50 in Greater Glasgow and Clyde getting first doses in last week or so.

Sturmundcalm · 05/05/2021 20:05

update - have had a call this afternoon and am now going Saturday!

Pootle40 · 05/05/2021 20:20

Fife, 45, had mine today

Haudyourwheesht · 06/05/2021 04:48

42 in Glasgow and nothing.

neveradullmoment99 · 06/05/2021 18:53

West Dunbartonshire, early 40's [ someone at work] vaccine is scheduled. Can't be long.

CombatBarbie · 06/05/2021 18:59

I know two of my 39yr old friends had theirs a few weeks ago, no CEV or anything. Ones paisley area, other one Cambuslang

I'm 40 and got my text 2 weeks ago in Sth Ayrshire.

SpanielPlusToddler · 06/05/2021 19:05

I’m 40, my husband is 42 and we got our blue envelopes yesterday. Appts are on the 11th and we’re in Moray.

llm24 · 06/05/2021 19:07

Got my appointment today for next week so did my hubbie we are 40/41 in forth valley

emmathedilemma · 06/05/2021 20:39

You got a text @CombatBarbie? I've not heard of anyone in Scotland getting a text! Did you go to your GP for it or one of the big centres?
