Mine’s not due until next month.

Had an invitation to go to a centre about 5 miles away, but was shopping down the road and saw the vaccination centre was open, so I walked in and had the jab there and then, no paperwork, no waiting.

No and I don't intend to.

We both had texts from our surgery to go and get ours, had the flu jab at the same time.

I received a text and a few days later a letter ( I work in the nhs but am also ECV so was vaccinated fairly early ) I got my booster at a local pharmaceutical company. It was just over 6 months from my second vaccine dose. I received a second letter explaining that most people vaccinated in the first groups ( groups 1-9) would be offered a Covid booster at least 6 months after their 2nd dose. I presume this means my disabled young AS will also be offered a booster in a few months time. Today I have sent off some blood to check for antibodies- ( for the Zoe study) which should be interesting.

I was emailed by Covid 19 email invititation telling me I could now go online and book my booster ...I booked it at Boots Pharmacy and had it today. So far so good.

I had mine last week. I had an email and text from NHS inviting me, but was also invited to GP surgery when I attended for flu jab so chose to go there as most convenient. No side effects I am pleased to say.

Well, OH and I had our booster and flu jab this afternoon. One in each arm. So far, no side effects!

I received an email inviting me to book online for my Booster. Luckily a local pharmacy is doing Boosters and I had mine as arranged at 11.25 on Friday morning. At the same time people were queuing for the flu jab. An assistant regularly walked along the queue to ask if anyone had an appointment for the Booster. Those who did went into a shorter queue. I was offered the flu vaccination and accepted. Pleased to say that I feel fine, absolutely no side effects whatsoever. The criteria for the invitation is you must be six months post second Covid vaccination.

Text from my GP three weeks ago and gave 4 places to go for the third booster - three said no appointments available and the fourth is two bus rides away. I had a mini stroke two weeks ago so need to wait until the Stroke clinic clear me to drive, hopefully next week, then I'll be off there like a shot!

Getting it tomorrow, message from my surgery via the MyGP app. I have an online NHS account for various hospital stuff.

My MIL and my sister both received NHS letters, MIL was able to have her booster at GP surgery, my sister booked on-line for a large vaccination centre

No still waiting

I had the booster about two weeks ago - was contacted by text and made the booking online for the next day.
