I could have booked my 2nd (at another location) online, but when I spoke to my GP they said I should wait for them to contact me.cafcfan said:

Don't know if I should have waited or what. That's an 11 week gap so hopefully ok. Also, I was given the choice of lots of vaccine centres but none was where I originally went. Second jab is much closer to home, and the first one was only a couple of miles.Booked our second jabs yesterday online - 1 May. 11 weeks and a day.Likewise, the centre where we had the first jab (4 miles from home) was not listed so had to opt for a pharmacy 13 miles away - not an issue though.Likewise (well my wife did and I just tagged along!). But they never gave us the date for the second jab.Select 'Manage my appointments'. I entered my personal details and it automatically picked up I had had the first jab and offered the second jab venues. It did say 'You failed to attend your second appointment so you will need to book again' but ignore that (I hadn't) so it must be a default message.0 -

The part that stands out for me is that if we had the vaccine at the start of the pandemic, at least 100,000 lives would have been prevented in the U.K., and there would have been 5 deaths from blood clots.

People trying to downplay the clotting risk is dangerous. It needs to be scrutinised properly rather than just hand-waved away.Hypothetically:Don’t take the vaccine, 127,000 covid deaths, no blood clot deaths
Take the vaccine, 27,000 covid deaths, 5 blood clot deaths.What do you choose?2 -
2 observations ( not based on any inside knowledge). 1 There seems to be increasing evidence that the vaccines are incredibly succesful at stopping both infection and contagion. But the Government is loath to bang the drum as they think we will all go wild and party if we know that. I think that it would be better to bang the drum in order to convince everybody to get vaccinated asap.
2 They must have much more vaccine in stock than they have let on. April was supposed to be the slowdown month but half a million people have been vaccinated virtually every day. I expect this subterfuge was to distract the EU etc from trying to cut our supply.3 -

I had my anti pneumonia jab between my Pfizer jabs. My arm was a lot stiffer after it but no other adverse effects. Was fine the next day.Arsenetatters said:
Mr Tatters had a pneumonia vaccination today. They say you can't have another vaccination in the next 7 days so this is why his second jab will be after mine. As mine's tomorrow I'm just hoping neither of us get major side effects as we currently have over 100 hens to look after.Arsenetatters said:Just got a text from the GP to get a 2nd jab - this Saturday. It'll be 8 weeks. From the Swanley Alexandra Suite so maybe they've got an extra lot of vaccines coming in? Strangely Mt Tatters hasn't heard from them yet he's 10 years older than me. Maybe they're doing vunerable rather than age?3 -

Depends where you live and who you’re registered with. Brother who is 42 got a txt a week or so ago and had his Thursday. Husband 44 hasn’t heard anything.Valley27000 said:When will they start the under 45's?.I check the nhs site daily and put in details for him to book until it says ‘not yet eligible’. Yesterday did it again and they must have lowered threshold a bit as got him booked in next Friday at guys. I think it depends what stock of jab places have in the area you live. I’m sure our area is more full of old people having second jab which is why he’s going guys to get something different? Moderna ?0 -

If there's anyone inclined not to get vaccinated take a look at the desperate situation in India.5

I was chatting with this woman at a restaurant the other day and she said that if you want to book your second AZ jab you can just book it online. She gave me this link:
Https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination
My second jab is not due until late May but I tried the following link and I’m now booked to have it on Monday morning in Marble Arch. I believe its only for AZ2 -
Is there anyone who had less side effects after their 2nd jab than their 1st? The side effect from my first was being very tired and sleeping a whole day, no flu like symptoms. I’ve got my second jab in a couple of hours and (pointlessly) I’m getting anxious about it.0

I had less or even no effect after my second AZ than the first. The first jab had only mild effects in the first place.3

Had mine last night and have a headache and temperature today but I had my gallbladder removed two weeks ago after contracting pancreatitis so I’ve no idea what pain is what right now.1

Agreed. You can book 2nd jab on https://www.nhs.uk/book-a-coronavirus-vaccination/do-you-have-an-nhs-number the day after your 1st. I was invited by my surgery yesterday, managed to get the jab booked the same day (Eltham high st) and then was able to book 2nd jab for 8th July (10.5 weeks) today via https://www.nhs.uk/book-a-coronavirus-vaccination/do-you-have-an-nhs-numbercafcfan said:

I tried daily to book my first via the same link, no joy, so it is definitely the case that 1st and 2nd can be a mix of GO invite and online booking.0 -
Had second AZ vaccine in Swanley. Really well organised. I even recognised some of the lovely volunteers from my first jab. It's amazing that people will give up their time to help it go so smoothly - really dedicated folk.

I would suggest to keep trying this site daily in order as it might offer a slightly earlier view (depending on area) https://www.nhs.uk/book-a-coronavirus-vaccination/do-you-have-an-nhs-number.
I presume your friend has spoken to GP as some of my family got it earlier (under 40s) due to chronic Asthma.1 -
Thanks - I'll get her onto it. She was meant to have one a while back but her doc said that although she'd been to hospital last year with an asthma attack she hadn't had to stay in overnight so didn't qualify!BalladMan said:

Sorry to hear that about your friend. I am pretty certain the vast majority of over 40s will be done by mid-May to keep the timeline of end July, so not long to wait worst case.Arsenetatters said:

Well after yesterday’s 2nd dose I’ve not got any arm pain (didn’t for the first jab) but I did have a bit of a hot then cold night. I’m exaggerating the extent of the side effects to Mr Tatters and an enjoying the first lie in I’ve had since the first jab while he gets the chickens up.12

Surely that’s only true of vaccine sceptics. I or pretty much anyone I know doesn’t need an incentive of any kind in order two have both doses.cantersaddick said:

I disagree. If we have a pretty free summer with most things open, cases and deaths low, then I'm pretty sure inertia will set in. People won't see the need to go for the 2nd dose or will just be too lazy or busy enjoying the freedom. I suspect there will be issues persuading the under 40s in August- October.ShootersHillGuru said:

Either way making vaccine passports based on just one dose sends completely the wrong message.7
