Booked myself an appointment

Me ( Pfizer ) no problems, wifey ( AstraZeneca ) bad head and felt off colour for 24 hours then fine.
 
On NHS website they were only doing over 60’s yesterday (hubby had his first one yesterday), he’s checked site again today and now showing over 56, so I’m now booked in for next week.

Lucky you being in England, nearly 2 weeks to go for this 64 year old with conditions that qualify here in Scotland, and many weeks yet for 61 year old wife,

Very lucky, they’re fair whipping through them in our area, when hubby got his jab on Thursday evening at pharmacy 2.5 miles from home they said they do jabs from 8am to 8pm, and do 2 approx every 5 minutes!
 
5 week for me Bill. No conditions. I saw you dip wings as you fly over today, you could have landed in park nearby and a CQ DX and I would have stuck the kettle on :giggle:

My o my that takes me back to when i was still living at home o_O

The step-father was a G4 ***, the spare back bedroom was like Mission Control and he had a massive motorised antenna in the back garden like this one

Been using this map most. Shows MSOAs and the timeline is a good tool.

Yes that seems to be about the best one. its about a week out of date but its quite detailed. I check it regularly and the trend is clearly going downwards in terms of infections. Here apart from Barnard Castle and Richmond where the seven day infection rates are in single numbers the map classes the virus everwhere else across a vast area as "Supressed".

Neil has had his vax letter now.
Nearest hub appears to be Bishop Auckland, 13 miles away, so similar distance to Phantom.
Next nearest is Darlington, then Knaresbrough !!! 😳

Had trouble getting a booking though.
No available appointments showing on the website.
He phoned the 119 number, but same thing happened to the operative he spoke to.
Oops! that one has just gone, and that one, and that one etc.

He says he's going to leave it for a couple of days and try again 🤷‍♀️
 
Go for one as far away as possible!!! Then you get a day out!! Michelle was trying for Kendal in the Lake District :D in the end we got Barnard Castle and Cockerton (Darlington).

However. Are you supposed to have a booking reference number when you turn up because I havent? All I have is a text with the appointment time and date on. I presume they will just be able to confirm you by your DOB and NHS number?

We got our initial invitation and then the confirmation by text which we received within seconds of booking.

When we arrived at the vaccination centre we just had to give our name because all the paperwork was already printed out and then confirm our D.O.B.`s.

They did not ask for the NHS number neither did they need to see the text messages.
 
Yes, I think the text from the NHS with date and time on is more than sufficient, Barry.

Cockerton and Darlington is not really a day out for you as more or less on doorstep? 🤔

Hmm. I'm beginning to think you might be right, the further away the better!
Would also justify stopping over somewhere as too tired to drive all the way home :devilish:
Think I'd rather enjoy getting pulled over and being asked why I was so far from home in my camper..... 🖕 :cool: 😇
