    Heard of a couple of people who phoned their surgery about getting the jab and they were told to come straight in for the jab - they had spare vaccinations.
    Another person contacted by the manager of the local Old People's Home told to come in for the jab as they too had some 'spares.'

    On par with Jar Jar Binks as the most annoying and irrelevant character in a film.

    My wife has been trying every day for a week or so to see if the site would let her book. The front page says 64 or health conditions, but yesterday, it let her through and she had the jab today at Sandal. She is 63.

    I am several years younger than her and not allowed through yet, but I'll keep trying until it let's me.

    It's a bit concerning that the daily jab numbers have dropped a lot (more than halved) in recent days. Are people in the next groups down not getting their bookings in? And does that mean capacity is going to waste? If so, they should open up the next few tiers down, rather than have a slow throughput.

    If you need your NHS number, there is a link on the website where you can fill in a few personal details and if your mobile is registered with your surgery so is on the database, you can get it sent to you by text.

    Had mine today too. Got a phone call from the GP at 4pm asking if I could get there for a 5pm appointment, although they'd already given me an appointment earlier this week to have it done on Thursday, which they've now cancelled.

    They're trying to ensure they use up all the doses each day so they said I'd likely get a call at short notice for the follow up jab sometime within the next 3-12 weeks. I'd been expecting a pretty fixed wait time of 12 weeks, so this would be ahead of expectations if so.

    I had mine on Sunday evening.

    Rough as a badger's arse all day yesterday. Got home from work and felt absolutely wiped out.
