The Spring Booster for over 75s and the vulnerable will commence on 3 April. We haven’t been told who will administer these but presumably GPS/Pharmacies. Roving teams being put together for care homes and housebound.

I'm having mine on the 27th in Torquay. No venues available nearer to where I live, but I don't mind.

Thanks to BlueSapphire ‘s prompting I went online and have booked mine for Friday.

My husband got a text on Friday to book a booster. I went online and put in that he needed disabled parking and the options were were very limited and not close. I'm hoping our local surgery get in touch with other more local options as they have in the past. They are also usually much more accommodating with their booking system, meaning that I can take the elderly in-laws two at a time.

My husband got a text from our local surgery today. He's now booked for two weeks time at a venue that is nearby with parking next to it and wheelchairs available if necessary.

No not heard any more about it apart from the original piece of information that we would be offered it
No messages from GP s
Not sure if I will or not most people I know aren’t going to

If you've received communication that you're eligible, you can just use your NHS number and book.

I'm not 75, but having radiotherapy meant I was eligible. I went online and booked a venue not that far away. I had my booster a couple of weeks ago. My GP wasn't involved at any stage.
