How you will be contacted for your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination
The NHS will let you know when it's your turn to have the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination.
The vaccine is being offered at larger vaccination centres, pharmacies and some local NHS services such as hospitals or GP surgeries.
More people are being offered the vaccine every week.
Information:Book now if you're eligible
You do not need to wait to be contacted if any of the following apply:
- you are aged 65 and over
- you have previously received a letter saying you are at high risk from coronavirus (clinically extremely vulnerable)
- you are an eligible frontline health worker
- you are an eligible frontline social care worker
You can book appointments at a larger vaccination centre or a pharmacy that provides COVID-19 vaccinations.

Had mine along with MRS UB, fantastic system at my local GP, bloody heroes everyone of them!0

I'm a bit pissed off at this seemingly post code lottery. I am 60 in 4 weeks and not heard a thing. Not allowed to contact anyone but hearing fit people in their 40s being done as spare vaccine at certain surgeries.
Nonsense.1 -

Had mine Thursday night and felt pretty rough for 24 hours. Then just as I was recovering watched our game at Fleetwood and felt crap again!8

Nonsense.
Fantastic achievement in the UK with the vaccine roll out.
I would've gladly have gone after my kids who are in their 20's if it helped to get their careers back on track.
Many people can't work from home in their occupations.
Queue up outside a hub in your area late in the day and if people fail to show you may get your opportunity.
It's not nonsense, having 17.5 million doses administrated is amazing.

I swear I haven't heard one person cough in the last 12 months.
Interesting thought ?
How many people on here have had the flu or even the common cold( which has no cure) this winter ?
In my working life I was always ill in February, mainly from working too many hours over the cold wet winter, traveling to work on packed trained, in crowded bars and going from cold outside to people in your face within coughing and sneezing distance inside. Plus going to Charlton matches, being a football coach for mid week training and either a dad or manager on a Sunday when so many days it's was freezing or pouring down.
Unless my wife catches a cold, or flu germs from her little kids at school I should be fine.
In a massive hub on Wednesday having the vaccine and I didn't hear anyone cough or sneeze. Maybe the masks do help and emulating Greta Garbo !
This. For all the same reasons I was always picking up colds. And Feb tended to be the fulcrum. The past 12 months have been my healthiest for as long as I can remember. I'm hoping that working from home and no more coaching will help it continue. Not sure I can master ze accent for Greta though..1 -

Nonsense.I am in group 5 and have not heard from my GP but booked on-line. When they get to your group you will be able to do this and will not need to wait to hear from your GP.
Many of those younger ones to whom you refer may have underlying issues, or may have had them in the past so are swept up early. Take up will have a huge impact on how quickly they get through groups. The good news is that they are sweeping through the groups much quicker than first thought. It won’t be long.2 -
Lockdown at XMAS would save 10,000 lives every year. Sounds like a no brainer!
Careful what you wish for.0 -
3 members of my team have tested positive and are symptomatic - two of them were vaccinated over a month ago. Of them one has been feeling quite ill for afew days, the other two just got headaches and felt under the weather for a day.
What is interesting is that we have all worked through the pandemic and none have tested positive until now.0 - Sponsored links:

Felt fine most of yesterday until I went for a long walk late afternoon. Very heavy legs and sore arm this morning. But generally fine.
Think our team yesterday must have been vaccinated at half time.3 -

Woke up this morning feeling crap and no energy whatsoever, also feel achy and fluey. Think it's the side effects now. Hopefully will be gone by tomorrow.0 -

Once you've been vaccinated, will any reaction to the vaccine show positive in a Covid test?

Just a coincidence - but I was more interested that although immunisation prevents the worst effects it clearly doesn't necessarily stop you feeling ill if you become infected.1 -
I didn't have any negative effects really - felt a bit dozier than usual for a day or so - partner didn't think I was any different from usual.6

My wife had a Pfizer jab last Wednesday and I had an AZ jab on Thursday. Only side effects were sore arms (24 hours her, 48 hours me) and feeling a bit more tired than usual for a day or so. I thought I had a terrible nightmare for a couple of hours starting at 3pm on Saturday but it turned out that was real.
ps I've got to a have a Covid swab test on Saturday prior to a hospital procedure next Tuesday. I checked whether having the jab would affect the test. Answer was no.8
