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.

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.

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

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

I am 67 with no underlying health conditions and am just planning on having an annual booster (like with flu).
I agree about the "rotten cold virus". I felt worse than I did when I had covid. It turned into a chest & ear infection which needed antibiotics to clear it up

They've just cancelled my DH's appointment for today. No reason given.

What about us under 75s? Thrown to the wolves?

MawtheMerrier, I'm still feeling pretty awful from that 'rotten cold' virus, coughing and spluttering, can't shake it off - oh and sneezing again with hay fever. I'm so fed up!

I am under 75 had a booster around November time I certainly don’t feel there is any need for more than one booster a year for the younger age groups.

Will probably go to the local walk in on Thursday.

I had a message via the NHS app on Friday, I’m CEV. I booked with my nearest centre, a pharmacy three miles away. Had the jab this morning and feel fine
I’ve avoided covid so far

I'm immunocompromised and booked in for my seventh in our Leisure Centre.
I have received a text message, email and letter from NHS Scotland!

I booked online,going Wednesday.

DH and I had it this morning

I am another who is due for my 7th vaccination. I am booked in to my GP for Saturday morning.

DH and I both waiting to be called forward by our GP surgery, who have continued to provide us with excellent service throughout Covid. We're both classed as vulnerable, and I'm also immuno-compromised due to tablet-based chemo for the rest of my life. So this will be the 7th jab for me, and the sixth for DH. I suspect that these vaccination programmes for both Covid and seasonal flu will now be with us forever.

My husband is getting his at the pharmacy tomorrow. He is 77. He booked it online.

We have ours on Saturday. Our surgery offered end of May appointments, as Mr C has a deteriorating heart condition we used the NHS site to bring things forward by a month. Our friend in Wales could have had hers last week at a central clinic.

Anyone in England who will be 75 before June 30th or is in a priority group can book via the NHS site whether or not an invitation has arrived. I’ll be 75 next month, no problem booking for Saturday.

DH has his at the GP surgery next week.

My Dh received a letter with an appointment a few weeks ago and received his jab last week. There were plenty of other people turning up and the team said they’d been vaccinating people on Easter Monday. That’s in Scotland.

My invitation came on Friday morning, I haven’t been online to book it yet.
My friend and I try to arrange to go together but she hasn’t heard yet.

Just had mine today. Anyone else had theirs yet?
Very quiet in the walk-in centre too.

I will go for mine. Just getting over a really horrible cold that knocked me down for a week so don't want anything else.

Thank you for telling us. Can't be too soon!
