Trouble is she's on a site visit that day (ironically to a hospital), and can't make it (these visits are planned months in advance), we rang up and they said the best we can do is request a new appointment which could be any time in the next 3 weeks!!! We don't want to wait that long as we want to be vaccinated asap. My appointment is tomorrow afternoon at the Helix. Would it be worth A. Her coming with me tomorrow in the hope of by then some no shows will mean an excess of vaccines, and they'd give her a 1st dose? (my mothers neighbours did this, He had an appointment, she (in a similar age bracket) didn't have an appointment, but they both went together and both got done). The Girl on the helpline said they could not advise this (though of course they can't advise it). or B. her go on Thursday morning when the vaccination centre opens (does anyone know what time the 1st appointments are?), and get the shot before her day onsite. or C. Call my local GP and explain the above and see if he can do it this week?

I was asked if she had any underlying medical conditions, and then politely told if she didn't, she'd have to wait her turn. Thought that was fair, and actually I was pleased to see that queue jumping isn't rife.

I've noticed from this thread a couple of 2nd dose Pfizer and AZ in citywest...has anyone age 40 got a first dose at either locations this week? cheers, wife still waiting.

A 90 minute drive can wait. Hoping I'll be OK though. It's pretty rare I get sick from anything thankfully. Did these symptoms start last night for you, or today?

On vaccine no. 1 my wife had this very issue (we were 3 hours away) and did indeed travel back during the June bank holiday weekend, just as you suggest, even though it ruined our first weekend break in over a year. But that's just us, I suspect most people on vaccine no.2 in particular might be less enthusiastic about breaking mid holiday. I'm speculating but I suspect a lot of people in July will want to defer, and defer by at least a week. I was just highlighting that issue. As is apparent from my posts on here I'd walk across broken glass for the vaccine but talking to friends I'm seen as a vaccine zealot in that regard.

Every single 40 plus in Louth seems to be sent all over the place while the Fairways focuses on second dose for 60 plus. More than happy to travel though
