jag or jab - jag is Scottish slang for jab, also fairly common around where I live and work.
Fair dos. I’m three sheets so hence a bit dense.

I’m going to for sure.
Just need to plan for it.
Feels odd to be being offered it early when it doesn’t feel like I’m at any extra risk.
However
This is the kind of covid statistic I’m happy to be one datum for.

Does anyone know how strict the walk-in centres are about the 6 months rule? I have had my 2nd jab on May 6th so should be eligible by next week. But the Covid cases at the school I work at are ridiculously high (60+ pupils, 6 teachers) so I just want to go and get it now, ideally tomorrow. Do you reckon they will turn me away for the sake of a few days?
I think you have to wait to be contacted. I’m eagerly waiting contact also.

I got invited to get a booster next week but I’m under 50 and have no underlying conditions, but I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth as I work face to face with the public in an area that has a high rate of vaccine hesitancy and high rate of infection compared to the rest of the city

No, there are walk-in centres now, no need to wait for contact or book an appointment, but not sure how strict they are on the 6-month rule.
Having said that, the website says my nearest so-called 'walk-in' centre is in Reigate, a 30 mile drive away.

Apparently they changed the rules a few days ago. You can now go to a walk-in centre as soon as you are eligible.
Let me know how you get on. Think I’m due around the 11th. They’ve been relentlessly contacting me about the flu jab though so I doubt if this would be any different.

Ah no, that's a long way.No, there are walk-in centres now, no need for an appointment, but not sure how strict they are on the 6-month rule.

Mine is only 15 minutes away, so I will go in the next few days and report back.

Here's the website to check on walk in centres -
www.nhs.uk
It now says my nearest option is Midhurst, still 18 miles away.
Find a walk-in coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination site
If you live in England and are aged 5 or over, you can find a walk-in coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination site to get a COVID-19 vaccine without an appointment.

Anyone know whether an 80+ yr old, who is >6 months beyond their second shot but had both 1st & 2nd done in Scotland, might be turned away from a walk-in centre in England to get their booster? They have the bit of paper that shows when and where the first two were done but it says NHS Scotland at the top.
I gather they were previously told that they might not be able to book one due to being registered on the scottish system. I don't know if the walk in policy changes anything.

It should be OK, part of the reason behind walk-in centres is to catch people not in the system.

The website is a bit annoying because it gives me a list of places and for each one it gives availability of 1st and 2nd doses but says nothing about boosters - except that some of them say something in the title. Some of them say nothing about boosters in the title and it's then unclear whether or not they are available.Here's the website to check on walk in centres -

As with the previous two doses, the other three adults in my household are now booked in for their third doses for a week today, but the booking site is still telling me to Foxtrot Oscar.
which means I should get mine in a fortnight, give or take a couple of days ...
A bit miffed - and I might go with them, in case there's a "spare" dose waiting for an arm.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Booked for the 20th, I’d rather have a weekday so I could call in sick but apparently that isn’t an option.
Is it right that it’s all Pfizer? Doesn’t seem to make sense if I’ve had Astra for man jab, that sounds more like a new shot than a booster

It's fine, there's been studies into mixing vaccines, and besides the AZ vaccine efficacy drops far more at 6 months than Pfizer, so it's the best option.

strictly off the record
Isn't there mounting evidence that immunity wanes significantly (certainly with AZ) after 5 months? So why are they sticking to 6 months, especially when there's plenty to go round? I'm just coming up to 5 months and I've got a whole load of socialising at work coming up in November, so I would dearly like a booster now!

Had my third jab this morning (my third Pfeizer). They asked if I’d had any other jabs recently and I said I had a flu jab last Saturday. They said there should ideally be a seven-day gap between jabs and that my side-effects might be stronger, did I want to go ahead? I said yes. Now waiting for The Weekend From Mini-Covid Hell.
