Just acted on this - thanks for posting. I now have mine booked (56, no underlying conditions) - choice of about 10 places all within 10 miles. Went for the one with the easiest parking.

Hmm, not eligible to book. I'm 55. Maybe its postcode dependent?

Same here.

Yes I think it is postcode dependent. I passed it onto some others and for some it works and not for others,

But it doesnt know your postcode, does it? Seems to refuse on DOB unless you say you are a front line worker?

I didn't use an NHS number, just Name, DoB & Postcode. Then it asks you if you are an NHS worker,

Accepted my DOB and I am 38 and I put my postcode in as registered at docs? I did have a call this week though and declined an appointment from doctor, so I assume it recognised me as being eligible for that as I have a free flu jab. They never told me I could book myself though, I just did having seen the post above!

To add, I ticked No to being clinically at risk and I'm not NHS or anything either and I didn't enter my NHS number as I haven't a clue what it is.

Last week when I used the site I got the front line worker question and got no further.

This time I entered my NHS Number, Age, postcode and got no frontline work question. Then proceeded onto booking a slot.

Gave it NHS #, DoB & answered No to care worker. Not Eligible.

Must be postcode dependent

It is indeed postcode dependent, which is why the front page hasn't been changed from 60. Everyone over 60 and/or CEV can book, but only those in areas that have completed Group 7 (or will complete it this week) can book if they're 55-59. There are apparently a few areas that have finished Group 8 as well (so you can book if you're 50-54) but they tend to be those with fewer people - i.e. not cities etc.

I took a phone call from our GP for Wifey just now - obviously they wouldn't discuss it so I passed the message on to her at work. She is really fit oooh err! Under 50 (i really must double check so as not to miss the big one). Things are really moving quickly here in Wales.

My dad has just been given his appointment for next sat 63 no real health condition I've have said to my mum to go with him and see if they have space later that day if any vaccines are left hopefully both can have it same day.
It be a bit of a relief as I've been working since may in and out of about 5-10 cars a day so it's always in the back of my mind if I did bring it home. Specially when 6 members of staff have tested positive.

Memsahib went to her doctor for a rendezvous for the vaccine. Here they have changed from Pfizer to AZ. What shocked her was the fact that she learned that 30% of the staff at the hospital at Le Mans have refused to be vaccinated and that over 100 patients have caught Covid because of that. And that her doctor has had Covid twice, each time caught from patients. Surely, no matter which country, it should be made compulsory for everyone. It makes sense, to me if no one else.

It would make sense specially in health care settings but France is deeply anti vax as a nation recent poll showed something like 40% population won't take it.

Had mine booked for me through work, a week today in the evening, then second one on 29th May, same time.

Told work I'm happy to wait as I'm young (ish), fit, healthy and active, but also said I'm happy to have the jab if I get booked in, now knowing most of the vulnerable and older people have been done.

Booked for the Friday evening so if I have a bad reaction like the gf did, I don't have to worry about missing work and can recover on days off (before my grassroots football starts back too, which I'm very happy about).

Can’t wait to see what it will be when it ramps up from the 15th

Our Borough seems to be all geared up for 15th.
Just received an email from our volunteer group showing avaliable shifts in the new vaccination centre (second centre in our area, so 4 in total) opening up on the 15th March. Interestingly, the new centre is showing shift availability across 7 full days of the week, so they are really getting serious! (compare to max 4 open days a week in the existing centre).

Had mine on Monday, 39 no underlying health conditions.

Think the numbers will creep up back to 400-500k range rest of this week and into next then should start to increase end of next week on. Over 30 million by end of march is a real possibility saying that they only need to do 2.5 million a week to achieve that so if we do get to close on 1 million a day might be sooner.

Now says 56 and over can book.

Had mine today (AZ). 51. No underlying conditions.

Very very slick operation at a Basingstoke hotel. In and out in less than 10 mins. If they’re putting as many people as I saw in that period all day I’m not surprised they’re barrelling through these at such a rate.

Indeed it does.

I've just put my NHS number in and DoB (why does it ask that ? If my NHS number identifies me, surely they know my DoB ?). However, I'm 52 so it said I'm not eligible yet (which I was expecting).

I did have a text on Monday saying I would receive a letter "shortly", but so far nothing. But that rather depends on your definition of "shortly" of course.

Bit weird. Why has it gone 70-65-60-56 (and not 55)?

To check you've put your NHS number in and not someone else's (i.e. another family member) by mistake.

Almost 900k tests done today, nevermind the vaccine rates, the testing rate is amazing!
