Looks like Man City have the bigger allocation. 

 

Just found this for anyone wanting to know where prices/category are.

Realised my post is making me sound ITK, that’s not the case at all. It’s been sent to a WhatsApp group so take my previous post with a pinch of salt. 

Hopefully find out tomorrow.

I honestly don't understand how some people are working this out.

 

I'm 41, booked my jabs the day it opened to my age group.

 

Had my 2nd at 10.20 this morning.

 

And that's after it was bought forward from the initial 12 week wait.

 

I'm calling bullshit on a 20 year old having a 2nd jab last week, unless the queue was jumped.

It's fact mate so don't insult me, I'm not lying, why would I? Perhaps you need to wake up a bit and get a bit more proactive and a little less incompetent than waiting for things to come to you.

 

Yes there were supposed dates allegedly nationally when things became available but things differed in different areas of the country both in availability and uptake I suppose. It's down to you to appraise yourself for you and your family. It really isn't rocket science. I'm in my 60s and coped with the Internet for current information, did you bother to even try? So don't call 'bullshit' and insult people or suggest they are lying, look to your own inabilities or laziness. 

[wattolcfc]

Speaking from my own experience, I was called and text by both my own surgery and another, to get my 2nd jab booked around 6 weeks after my first. Obviously I waited until 8 weeks but that didn’t stop them trying to force it through early. I’m early 30’s and had my second on Friday.

Also Leicester has had walk in and drop in vaccination sites for a long while because we had a high amount of infections which didn’t discriminate about age, so it is very possible that under 30’s have had a second jab.

21, had my first jab on 4th June during the big Leicester push for walk in vaccinations. 5th July I get the text for my second jab to be booked at my GP, by the 7th July I'd had both vaccinations as did a lad I know my age at the same GP, no queue jumping just clearly the GP's circumstances

I'd love to know how your son had his second a week ago - the gap is supposed to be 8 weeks and the NHS has cracked down hard on any clinics and centres going earlier than that because of both supply constraints and efficacy reasons.

 

If he had his first 8 weeks before then that implies he had it on or before 23 May - for context the NHS booking site soft-launched to U20s on the evening of 17 June (I'd know, I spent most of the day refreshing every hour or so) and launched officially on the morning of the 18th.

 

The evidence is there that getting your second early drastically reduces efficacy especially against Delta, so rushing it is pointless. 8 weeks after my first on 27 June is 22 August, which is exactly the earliest I can book on the online system. I will not be looking to have it any earlier

 

Don't call people out on 'sitting and waiting' when there is an obvious reason for it

My son had his first Pfizer jab on May 26th and his second on the 21st of July. There was no difficulty booking it whatsoever. Go on the Internet and the code required is Covid19VL if I remember rightly. As I say, my daughters is on, I think about the 4th of August, only because she could only be available at weekends due to heremployment. Aged 62, I had my first on the 18th of Feb and second on the 8th of May (the original 2nd jab got cancelled and  subsequently rearranged).

All of our records are now downloadable on the NHS app for proof domestically or for international travel if required. I've absolutely no reason to lie have I. 

 

Many centres have at times had vaccines to get rid of rather than waste. There are cases in Birmingham for example where only half of the people who had booked one day bothered to turn up so they needed to redistribute. 

 

Even our own LRI had the odd occasion whereby they just needed anyone to turn up! Likewise the Peepul Centre. 

 

However, on a more organised basis, just try the local NHS site, stick the code in and follow the instructions, it really is a doddle.

Fair play, I apologise if I'm wrong then.

 

I no longer live in Leicestershire, so maybe that's where the difference lies as Leicester has been such a hotspot? That's the only explanation I can think of.

 

I've had mine at the first opportunity, today being the 2nd jab.

 

My Mrs had hers as soon as they rolled them out as she's a social worker.

 

 

Apologies @volpeazzurro. No offence intended.

No problem mate, these are very imprecise times and areas differ. To be honest, as good as it is that the UK has been at the forefront of vaccination success, at times the organisation of it has been a dogs dinner. In fairness, the logistics must have been an absolute nightmare though. As long as you and your family are sorted now though that's what counts and I wish you well.

Wow!  Proactive, incompetent, laziness.

 

It appears you and your family booked in via an nhs staff only website (swiftqueue), I presume using the "password" that was published in the mercury.  You and others like you have caused quite a bit of grief and hassle at our end.  Turning away those that arent eligible (the day every taxi driver in Leicester turned up was quite special), putting up with the abuse from members of the public (the Police have been called more than once) and tying appointments back in to ensure that you get offered your second jab.  But hey, so long as you and yours are sorted before you were eligible then that's ok.

 

BTW for the second time in my FT history, I am an ITK when it comes to this.  

 

I had my 2nd on 24th march.

There are no obvious reasons for waiting waiting that long for a second dose, anyone studying this will say there are trade-offs with either approach (which is what they are saying).

 

With how rampant the Delta variant is, someone may have a lot more protection by getting the second dose a little earlier rather than being exposed to the virus after only receiving one dose. 
 

I get why you might feel a bit miffed but it’s also irresponsible to be calling people out and making assertions that obvious reasons exist when they don’t.

It certainly wasn't for NHS staff only, what on earth are you on about,  'SwiftQueue is an online platform that provides cloud-based healthcare appointment and patient engagement solutions'.

 

When you filled the application in, you amongst other things had to add your date of birth and occupation. It's a platform that has been used in various places all over the country and is entirely transparent. The vaccine roll out has been a multipronged approach. Doctors surgeries have done some but understandably, they only have so many staff and still have to maintain their core function. There have also been large well published events where anyone can just turn up including pop up centres where infection rates were most prevalent and take up previously low in certain communities for example. There have been vaccination outlets at the Oadby Racecourse, Highfields, Belgrade and the Peepul Centre for example. 

 

As for the code itself, on a personal level it was given to me by a neighbour. He'd been advised by our doctors surgery to use the NHS website but had a bit of difficulty using it at first as it was a bit clunky and he's not that Internet savvy. He rang the General hospital and specifically enquired about age and occupation and it was them that actually gave him the code and confirmed it was for anyone, they also advised him how to fill it in making sure he put an answer in every field because if you didn't, the system would reject it. He put retired in the appropriate box because he is. 

 

It's also been on social media platforms because I personally saw it on Facebook. My local surgery also use the system to update individual medical records as I rang them to gain online access via the national Patient Access App which I used to reorder medication. It also updates the online downloadable NHS app (not the covid one) to provide access to printable media for domestic events and international travel if appropriate as well as managing any hospital appointments non covid related.

not sure where this come from

Double jab requirement is likely to kick in from late September to early October I believe. Giving the younglings a chance to get both.

DHSC published a study this week saying quite the opposite - a longer dosing interval is much better at generating a sustained antibody and T cell response than a shorter interval

 

I take your point re: exposure to the virus especially at the moment, but the whole point of vaccinating young people is not to simply get through this current wave, but providing more medium-to-long term protection. If the UK can avoid having to hand out a third dose to everyone this winter that would be ideal
