It's nothing more than a pipe dream at the minute. Will take a lot of convincing for Mrs Colch and the two jnr Colch's to even consider it. If I get anywhere with it I might have to pick your brains on the best areas to look and foreign language schools for the boys etc but I don't think I've got a chance of making it happen.

Well, well, well. Just seen this, so thought I'd give it a go. And am booked in for tomorrow.
Even better is that Mrs B will never again be able to criticise about me looking at the golf forum
Edit: Ps; worth noting that when I looked at the NHS booking page, it was still saying it was available for "over 64" - so if you're 60-63 keep going like I did.

Thanks for that - I'm 60 and my wife is 59, so I tried her too and it was a no-no.
I could get a jab tomorrow, but not at a local centre, so I might wait a day or two.

Had a quick look last night and was able to get to the point that I could choose a vaccination centre so I guess that means I will be able to book an appointment so will have a look and book later.

Grab your diary because you will be able to book both jabs
I booked my mum's first jab for next week then second jab for may
Me and dad were called by our drs . So I just used this service to book mine and his second date for a day I know I'm off work

Even though the NHS website says its for over 64s, there were plenty of times available, so better to have someone getting the vaccine than no-one.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
SILH, what area are you in, In Notts you have been able to do that for over a month. Meant a bit of travelling if you wanted to get in earlier which kinda went against the stay local rule.

People should not feel shy about trying the website and if it gives you an appointment, great, attend it. The name of the game now is pushing people through fast. The more that are vaccinated, the less chance there is for Covid to circulate, fewer new cases, fewer mutations and new strains.

The website requires your NHS number before inputting your birthdate. if you are registered vulnerable against your NHS No, would it allow a booking, irrespective of age, or as I suspect is the main filter that allows a booking the birthdate?
(my wife and I both booked through the website by trying every day until it allowed us through to book)

Almost certainly for all the wrong reasons... But, have a feeling that I've very much had a 2nd class jab with AZ... Yep, I am certainly in a better place for having the jab but keep getting these little 'doubts' creep into my head...

Just looked at the NHS website for booking (sure looks like the correct site). It distinctly states at the beginning that it is only for 65 and older. Are people just ignoring the rules and doing what they want? I hope these aren't the same people that have been reminding people to follow the rules on Covid for the last year..............

Incorrect there you don't need your NHS number
You can enter it
Or use your dob , name and postcode
Either way it works

If the site let's you book you are allowed to. As Ethan says
If your not allowed it won't let you
My wife is suppose to be upgraded to be allowed but hasn't been yet so can't book but my mum can even tho she is 61.. but she couldn't last week
Keep trying your details is not wrong or breaking any rules. They want everyone done and will only offer you appointment if in your area you can have it
Simple

Plus if the site let's you then it's fine. My mum couldn't last week but could yesterday
My wife still can't as drs hasn't updated her yet
She told her friends they all booked

Hmm considering my wife is pre existing conditions and it says clearly there that it's for them im not ignoring the rules
There was a post yesterday that the NHS site was incorrectly saying over 64s (last week said over 65s) also there is no over 64 cat anyways they said it should say over 60s
Funny how all the over 60s can book now isn't it? Almost like it was right
Feel free to wait but the NHS want people to book themsleves they don't want to send letters they want people to be proactive and keep trying the site until their allowed to book
If the site let's you book = your allowed the jab
If the site says "you are unable to use this service" after putting in your name, dob, and postcode then guess what. Your not allowed the jab
Really is simple

Who is saying that? The rollout is taking place at different pace in different places, and you will only be let book if you match the criteria that apply in your area at the time (assuming you have not been misreported as being 6.2 cm tall). If the system lets you book an appointment, then you are eligible and not queue jumping and you should book and attend. Faffing around calling the surgery, postponing, booking again is not helpful and only wastes time that could be used vaccinating.
