Epsom racecourse
Was there this morning getting mine....very efficient but not busy, no queuing at all. Hopefully the current news stories ain't putting people off
My OH is 42 and got her invite today, we have no idea why...I’m older just about, she has no medical conditions, it’s a bit odd..
I've just booked the wife's jabs. She's 50 with no underlying health conditions and when I tried last week she wasn't eligible. Different centres for first and second jabs and not local, which is annoying, but at least she's now booked in.
Sharkbait - 👍👍
If you've not been invited yet keep an eye out on your GP's facebook page or similar. Ours had more vaccines than appointments on Saturday so opened it up to anyone who could get there (not just the over 50s - I'm not there yet). I found out and then 20 mins later I'd had the first jab and they booked me on for 12 weeks later.
I was pleased to get a text from my Doctor's today - called up straight away and got my first on Sunday, the 2nd on the 13th of June. Just around the corner from home, happy days. I'm 51.
Anyone know when I'll start to generate my own WiFi?

Version 1 only supports 5G reception, they're hoping to incorporate hotspotting into a later version but it might have wait until CoVax2 is released as a booster in Oct.
Come September Witty is going to ramble on and on for hours using nothing but meaningless buzz words for the fanbois to cream their knickers at, then bosh "One more thing" Wi-fi hotspots, and we'll all have to go out and get brand new jabs. Typical.
LOL - just had my text through - Mystic Meg must be on the payroll.
Or the Russians are watching these threads and relaying info to Boris! 🙂
Thanks for the tip off
First jab booked for next Wednesday, second 10th June. I’m 53.
Just got mine in for next Tues and June 8th. Im 52 in Aug.

Biggest problem is compatibility between the different vaccines, eg a Pfizer user can't talk to an Astra Zenica user......

Oh well, just one more group identity to judge people by. Will be lost in the plethora of other group identities that we're all defined by these days.
I'm 48 and went on to try to book last week as someone said they were looking to get people booked up well in advance due to fears there will be less keen-ness and take up as we go down the lower age and risk groups but no joy. Will try again in a few weeks time.
STW will alert you as always!!
What a confusing thread.... Do you lot live in Germany or something?
I'm 48 and got called for vaccination about three weeks ago. Took me so much by surprise that I demurred and said I'd phone them back once I'd gained the power of thought.
Which I did last week, and duly got the injection last Friday...
Most of my forty something mates have also had it. How confusing.
Do you lot live in Germany or something?
If so we'd all be refusing to take the 'British' vaccine...
Text yesterday from my GP, booked for Sat. I'm 50, West Yorkshire. My brother is booked for Sunday and he's only 48.
Yorkshire have been amazing at getting their population vaccinated quickly.
I had my jab last Thursday evening the second one is in 11 weeks.
Well I managed to get an embarrassment of appointments...
With the NHS site still showing '55 and over' I booked SWMBO on and got both appointments locally, the first within a couple of days.
I then tried for me (under 55) and despite asking for the DOB, the booking system generated both appointments, the first within a couple of days.
I then received an SMS from the local surgery and was jabbed next day. I enquired about no shows and surplus vaccine and nominated SWMBO if there were any. Within the hour, she was called in and jabbed.
I now can't cancel my original appointments as the NHS Web donkeys have ****ed up and I'm getting a page not found/404 error... 🙄
Think it is really a bit of a postcode lottery. My other half hasn’t had a call yet (53) and me neither (47) but no great surprise. But hearing and know of others under 50 with no underlying conditions does sound like it’s hit and miss. Just going to sit it out and wait for the call or under 50’s booking to open...
48 here (Camberley, Surrey) I got the text from GP today. Booked the Vaccine for tomorrow!
NHS booking site now clear - over 50s can book - I'd get in quick...
We booked yesterday for Sunday, but there were places available to today at Elland Road
Any other over 50s having trouble booking on the web site? Get a message saying it can't find my details. The details work fine on the 'find your NHS number' page but not on the vaccination booking page. Have checked my details with my GP practice and they are correct. Croydon area...
I still haven't managed to get booked on the NHS site so have phoned the local centre and am booked on for tomorrow morning 👍
FWIW, I phoned my surgery to check they have my mobile number. Being 50 next month, I thought it would be prudent...
They had my mobile number, but not 'verified for text messages'. Receptionist hit some button and lo! a text appeared with a booking link.
She did say I'd get text when my age group were called - perhaps it is a sign that Stroud-area has plenty of vaccine and/or has got through bulk of over 50's and/or was an error.
