Rebelbrowser wrote: » Nah, no such explanation. I'm too close to it to laugh, but yeah it's hugely ironic that I've been on boards posting about vaccines for months, obsessively analysing patterns of progress of the vaccine, speculating to (often apathetic) friends about when we would we be vaccinated and then, when the moment came, I'm the 1 in 100 (or 1000?) that slips through the net. I suspect some of my friends think it's hilarious in the darkly comic way you suggest and I hope in time, after lots and lots of therapy, I'll see it that way too!

She said when she logged into the Portal today that it showed her 1st dose scheduled and a blue box saying "Show Appointment details". When she clicked on this, the screen went blank/white and when she refreshed it, it went back to Awaiting Appointment. She rang the Helpline but they are saying that she rescheduled her Appointment and must wait for a new one.
