Did a wee in Dirac's toilet
Anyone know what I'm missing here? I'm 41, I've tried to enter my details and it says I'm not eligible. Someone locally to us who is 42 has booked today, has it just dropped to 42 and not to 40+ yet?

I think it probably is as simple as that tbh.
Wait your turn, young 'un.
Honestly, I'm being oppressed! Or something.
Seriously though, I'm only narked as my very healthy good lady (same age) got her jab weeks ago completely unexpectedly due to what amounts to a clerical error, whilst I'm in a far higher risk category. I suspect I'm actually clinically vulnerable, but the GP surgery is operating purely off spreadsheet calculations of previous data, which is why my good lady got told to get hers and I'm getting told to go away. Still only a week or so more to wait hopefully...

hopefully not gimboid
I just got a text message from a GP I temporarily registered with to book my second jab, so you should be good.

Those over 42 can now book a jab, website updated this morning.

I'm 42 and had my first jab today following a text last Wed. This was being done locally. Also had a text today saying I can book at a national level.
When I asked about my second jab today they said they cannot book them in yet as they have to wait for the batches to come in. So I think that means they are never sure how many they will get and when a batch comes in they just go down the list, which is why I was a little ahead with getting mine.

Short drive away rather than walking distance like my husband's was. He's trying to book his second but can't find his card for his first and is sure he gave it to me for safekeeping because he can't find his arse if he's not shown where it is, but it's not in the Place I Put Things That Need to be Kept Hold of, and I don't remember him giving it to me.

I got the nhs vaccine invite text this morning (I'm 42) - but only centres offered were one 8 miles away with an arse of a journey in public transport, and then 50-60 miles away in Hawes and Berwick upon Tweed! I know I'm 15 minutes walk from two different centres, with another on a direct bus route, so leaving it for now to see if they become available.
Yeah, I have a friend who lives in Oxford who only got offered Heathrow or Stoke Mandeville hospital, both miles away. Might just be glitches because of so many people trying to book at the same time.
Living in London I got offered about 10 within a 5 mile radius. At last an advantage to living in London during this pandemic!
You do right.
When my folks got the message to book, the only places were miles away/awkward to get to. Same for me. In both cases, a few days wait meant a much closer venue.

gsv's booked his second at a little vacc centre in a shopfront on the high street. I do wonder if they stick up the biggest ones when the slots open up, as the one I'm going to is in a sports stadium and had lots of appointments. Will be interested to see if I get AZ or Moderna - I get the impression most new rollout is the latter?

heckling from the back!
OH booked for second Pfizer on Thursday (got a text whilst we were working away last week !).
Bezza and their OH have just come back from getting their second jabs at the local GP's - with like 15 minutes notice.
Their jabber said 2 to 3 weeks to achieve c95% protection.
Nothing (yet) for me ...

It's just a shame that it's adults making dangerous decisions on behalf of children who are not in a place to insulate themselves from the consequences of those decisions

A brief and incomplete review of the failure to circuit-break and lockdown at the right time last autumn, given the conversations we had at the time and that we have had some conversations here about Sunaks fair share of the blame, him being used as a scapegoat etc. And that Johnsons let the bodies pile up comments have reignited press interest in this stuff.
It is no surprise that an image we were fed of post-hospitalisation Johnson having seen the light and being suitably cautious was a load of bullshit.
I was wrong about how much influence the 'great Barrington declaration' anti-lockdown shitheads had at a crucial moment. I should also have made much more of the fact that at a crucial moment, Whitty & Vallance did their own press conference warning of what was likely to come. Having got that wrong, I was still able to salvage something because the idea that governments are still forced to act eventually, based mostly on hospital admission levels rather than amount of death, held true, and it wasnt exactly shocking that the UK government pushed this as far as they could until eventually having to u-turn again and lockdown.
Sunak no longer has to stand alone in the blame zone, but it appears he is quite happy to even now defend the stance he and Johnson took, so he can retain a suitable proportion of the blame.

I fucking despair of this sort of learn nothing from the pandemic, no joined up thinking, 'health' reporting.

Here is some interesting information about the EU targetting the AZ vaccine for political purposes. All the issues they went crazy over, insanely rare issue of blood clotting. This has somewhat tarnished the very cheap and very effective AZ vaccine.
Did you know in Israel, 62 people in Israel and 14 people in the U.S. military got myocarditis mainly post the second shot of the Pfizer vaccine? I think 2 in their early twenties in Israel died because of it.
Remember there were, what 6 people with clotting and loads of EU countries paused using AZ. Fair enough got to check these things.
www.forbes.com
Nothing is risk-free, probably be ok even if you did get it. What is puzzling, for that age group, the risk is 1/20000 so definitely not ultra-rare, or even rare. Give these statistics and numbers you'd think the EU would be pausing the rollout of this vaccine just to check. 1/20000 really does seem like it's worth a good look.
No, instead the EU had just put in a gigantic order for more Pfizer.
Definitely a whiff of bs about the hysteria around the AZ vaccine. It costs 2 or 3 euros. So needs to be made and distributed as widely as possible.

I see they are researching ways to evolve a business-friendly variant of the virus at this time 
It will be called the startup variant of no concern, since they hope to pass the burden of mask-wearing onto the virus itself.
