Thursday afternoon vaccination fist bump!
I'll stick with the set time appointment I have booked at a different location on Thursday afternoon!
Due to "vaccine supply considerations" my first dose has been brought forward and my second dose put back. I wasn't asked to confirm whether I can make the new appointments. The assumption is that I'll attend, but "appointments may be changed by exception" if I email them. Can't decide whether this is a slick system or a doomed one. I think a stiff letter to Ursula von der Leyen is called for.
Got mine today. Age 59, in Brixton, with ME/CFS, which is rated as an underlying condition for Covid purposes. I'm a bit surprised. I didn't think the NHS would regard ME/CFS as anything of consequence.
Come on, I think ddraig raises a fair question there though -- in actual practice, does the wait for the second jab last twelve weeks, or fewer than that?
And how supply-dependant in different areas is that wait between first jab and second?
Definitely worth asking, IMO. Not that I have any answer myself
What is the second dose interval period?
• The agreed dose interval period is set at 77-84 days as outlined in the Chief Medical Officer’s letter. Vaccine will be supplied for second dose clinics to take place 11 weeks post first dose clinics, so that the 12-week time period between doses is achieved.
Can clinics be scheduled early to vaccinate outside of the interval period?
• Clinics should not schedule second dose appointments earlier than 77 days post the first dose, unless there are exceptional circumstances, as this is not in line with the agreed dose interval.

How do we manage any surplus doses?
• Where there is surplus vaccine following second dose clinics, this should be used for first doses in the prevailing priority cohorts, for those patients who have been vaccinated prior to starting immunosuppression and who need a shorter interval between doses.
• For LVS in particular, every effort is being made to right-size Pfizer supply with the use of pack down in order to minimise surplus.
I had the next batch !View attachment 262131
A proper vaccine, none of that forrin muck. The 5G should kick in within a few days apparently.
See post 522.

How does that explain it?See post 522.

I've got my second jab next Wednesday
Only with the password. I think it's "changeme" (it's "passw0rd" for the Pfizer).does that mean we can login to his head now?
They must have changed it, it used to be "ICanSeeYou".Only with the password. I think it's "changeme" (it's "passw0rd" for the Pfizer).

So I went to the vaccination centre at St Thomas for what they thought was my first dose, explained that I'd actually had my first dose back in January at my GP's surgery, and asked if I could have my second dose please. Much consternation, as my first dose had not been recorded on the NHS system. I showed my NHS vaccination record card but little credence was attached to it. The manager's manager eventually ruled that it would be 'dangerous' for me to have the second dose because it was only 9 weeks since my first dose. I was instructed to get my GP to register my first dose, otherwise the system would never offer me a second dose. So I went to the surgery, who said my first dose IS on the system, and they will be offering me a second dose at the surgery in 3 weeks. Never mind. It was fun to go to Waterloo and St Thomas' - probably the furthest I've been from Brixton for two years.Done! So if all goes well I'll have had both doses by April 6th. Can I also make an appoointment for someone to tell me I'm sharp-elbowed and middle class?
My under-50 chums (OK, I only have three) in that there London seem to be getting jabs easily. No such luck here in Grimsby.

I got a letter through the post from the NHS about booking mine. I logged on to their website and booked the appointments although I was slightly confused by the local vaccination centre not being listed. It was either a couple of buses or trains or a twenty minute car journey to any of the ones listed.I wonder how many times this mess is repeated over the UK.
The day after my second dose, which was done in a hub and because I'm a frontline worker with vulnerable children, my GP surgery rang me up to offer me the vaccine. They were very nice but had no record of my doses on their system. I had to give them the dates of both my doses.
I'm not sure the NHS is as joined up as we want it to be.

Two or three days later I got a text from my GP surgery asking me to book my vaccinations at the local centre so I cancelled the ones via the NHS website and booked via the GP.
It looks to me as though there are at least two groups managing the roll out of the vaccinations and neither of them know what the other is doing.
it's a large governement led IT project what do you expect?I remember the NHS being promised joined up IT in the '90s. I've yet to see any evidence of it. I have a file in at least ten hospitals/clinics/surgeries, as I'm sure most people do. Never seen them linked to each other. But at least they create jobs for receptionists.
