I do think you need to see it from staff point of view and I can tell you are aware, don't take this as a knock. It's Saturday night. They've probably been full on for weeks at this. Very little variation in the job, very repetitive. After hundreds of thousands of people I'd say they don't have enough gra to consider 25 people after a day's work. I think that's fair enough. Also if they looked after you guys tonight, 25 people tell 100 people, it turns into a mess very quickly. I hope you get sorted soon.

We have a young baby and I don't have anyone else to leave her with. Does anyone with any knowledge/experience think if I turned up first thing on Tuesday morning at City West and explained my situation, would they accommodate me and let me in early to get my jab so I can then get home to baby and let my husband go to the funeral...?

My wife who has some mobility issues had her appointment for Tuesday so I advised her to go early as they were obviously not checking times. She got there at about 8:30 but was turned around as her text was for 11am. Had to come back at the correct time but the queue was nothing like as bad as when I got mine done.

I probably would have waited and got done in pharmacy if I had of know. Definitely would have been a lot handier than the vaccine centres.
