Got a confirmed vaccine appointment - Post your age and appointment date

You didn't by any chance rearrange your original appointment did you?

I was just wondering if i go to it and they see that it's only 18 days that they'd say they made an error with it and ask me to come back again in 2 weeks time!! I think the minimum is meant to be 21 days!

Cancel it. Pharmacist won't give you the J&J if they know you've had the Pfizer one for starters. Mixed dosing is not yet approved and if it is, it won't be approved like that either

Got a text confirming my J&J appointment from a pharmacy, however it says "over 50s" in the text despite me applying for the 18-34 and being 21, I emailed and called but no response yet, anyone else's text say that but they ended up being fine to get the shot anyway? Cheers guys

You're fine.

Most people I know getting J&J are around your age.

Keep the appointment, but ring just to confirm.

Appears the reschedule function is not working when you reply to the text appointment.l you can't make. I received a new text back after replying for another appointment time with same date/time as 1st.

Same thing happened to oh and a friend in last 3 days.

Called them(15 mins) and they said the message reply never reached them. Lady on phone had to cancel for me and said I will receive a new appointment.

I'm guessing other people in the same boat are not calling number and going down as no shows.

When I was getting my first dose in Citywest a woman was brought to the top of the queue (she was right in front of me, I was due to go into the centre itself next) and she and one of the volunteers were explaining to the other volunteer in that section that she could go despite her appointment being the next day. I can't remember what reason she gave, if any, she just said there was no way she could make it tomorrow. She and the volunteer mentioned a woman's name saying she had given the ok and she was allowed in. I assume the woman they named was a supervisor of some sort, might be worth a try.

I meant to say it wasn't very busy when I went for the first one, plus it was in the afternoon, so that may have had something to do with it too.

I'm same age, 1st on 4th July and 2nd on 29th like yourself. Yes, I was in and out in 30 mins on 4th July, a Sunday. I heard it's slow going in citywest these days at times. Hopefully not stuck there for hours.

How is people getting to the vaccine centres? I have an appointment Wednesday morning but it is going to be raining according to the weather, I am cycling as I don’t drive and I don’t want to get a taxi or public transport until I am fully vaccinated. I suppose I could play chicken with the weather 🤔

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one and I haven't somehow fallen through the cracks.

Here’s hoping we both get sorted soon.

Go up to the vaccination centre tomorrow around 6pm and explain your situation. Ask politely whether there will be any spare vaccines and if they can fit you in early, and if they say no go up again the following day.

I’m getting mine from my Gp, 21 day interval, just in time for my hollibops!

Has anyone got their first jab at a centre, and a second jab from a GP? I’m thinking of doing this to avoid a 4 hour trip back to the centre where I got the first jab. Just wondering would I get my vaccination cert as easily or will it mess up the system by doing it this way?
