It still doesn't seem to help if you are looking for alternative vaccination centres if there is nothing available where you were originally booked into. In those cases you still have to cancel and take a chance elsewhere unfortunately.

Ah no I didn’t realise that sorry, I guess it’s perhaps because some centres are offering one of three vaccines and it’s about ensuring you get like for like vaccine
45 million people, 87% of the population have had one jab, I wonder considering they’ve got huge numbers, and make up a 1/3 of the people on the planet, what the numbers of people jabbed in India and China are?

India is a different proposition but we know that the Chinese manufactured Sino-Vac is pretty much useless against the Delta variant.

It might be good to temper the language about the Sinovac and its efficacy against Delta, purely because we will have posters on here who have done the right thing by stepping forward and having the Sinovac jab and could be concerned with adjectives like 'useless'. It's probably true to say it's less effective against Delta than either AZ or Pfizer; and the efficacy of the J&J jab is equally unclear.
But it's also true to say that, if a booster jab is required, the Chinese authorities would have the capacity to roll it out very quickly. For example, in Guangdong alone, more than 60 million doses were administered in a month. That should make anyone who has done the right thing and had the Sinovac jab a bit more confidence.

I can see that there might be sensitivities here but it doesn’t alter the fact that the Sino-Vac vaccine is ineffective against Delta.

Annoyingly I booked down in Devon as the days offered fell when we were down there, so now it's offering me early ones down there and I've no idea whether there are earlier ones near me!!
Worried about cancelling the one I have with no certainly still.

I am 95% certain that you could cancel, check different centres and dates and times and if no joy, find and rebook your cancelled slot as long as you don’t faff about. I cancelled and rebooked the same slot about 10 times as it wouldn’t give me anything earlier for ages but just kept rebooking my original slot and getting a new reference.

Thanks, may give it a go or call the number to help.
Its not the end of the world if not to be honest, would only bring it forward a week or two, but if it's easy to do it's a week or two extra protection!
Just had my second Pfizer jab at Kings, super efficient (again) and it feels good to have had both.
Couple of mates have had their second Pfizer jabs over the last few days and have had felt shocking afterwards so hoping to avoid that!
had my second Pfizer on Saturday and had a bit of a sore arm afterwards, then felt tired all afternoon. I felt a bit weird that night, kept waking up but I think that was the anxiety of the next day creeping in. Quite hard to tell if the effects after that were related to the jab or the football...
I think a lot of GP practices are offering walk up vaccinations now. Worth checking.
Heard from friends in Welling and Dartford that there GP practices are being quite forceful in getting people to come in for the second vaccine anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks after first vaccine. One friend has been getting either text or phone call every day for a week, they are only at 6 weeks since first.
Free flu vaccines will be offered to children aged two to 16, as well as people aged 50 and over or in "at-risk" groups this winter, as the UK faces the double threat of Covid and influenza.
When the programme begins in September, the flu vaccine will be available for free on the NHS to:
all children aged two and three on 31 August 2021
all children in primary school and all secondary school pupils aged 11 to 16
those aged six months to under 50 years in clinical risk groups
pregnant women
those aged 50 years and over
unpaid carers
close contacts of people with weak immune systems (immunocompromised individuals)
front-line health and adult social care staff
People who are not in these groups will be able to pay for a flu vaccine at some supermarkets and High Street chemists, once available.
It makes me despair that some people including guys who should be informed didn't take up the opportunity to have the Vaccines which are our Friend and saviour.

Just had my second dose at Guys and now doing the 15 minute wait. I had Moderna, the VIP vaccine. Quite glad to be sitting in a cool air conditioned tent, might have a little nap!

This whole "No proof of address, NHS number or immigration status required" thing.
Doesn't seem very, I dunno, secure?
You think some people will be going in without ID and getting jabs, just to sell them on the black market?
If people were handing out bottles of water, I'd get it.
There's just something that makes me uneasy about being able to walk up, get a jab and have no record of having it done anywhere. There must be some people out there who have a needle fetish as well who might want 20 of them. A kind of jab crawl.
Probably unfounded concerns, just seems strange to me.
It makes me despair that some people including guys who should be informed didn't take up the opportunity to have the Vaccines which are our Friend and saviour.
Quite scary that people with both jabs are still getting sick to the point of oxygen
They are - I suspect - people with underlying health conditions - the vast majority on 2 jabs, who catch it, will feel a bit ill (like Adkins), but not end up in hospital
Perhaps @PopIcon can update us on how he is feeling now, because I think he is a 2 jabber, but caught it and wasn’t feeling brilliant, but also not stupidly ill
