Noticed the NHS site was accepting bookings for 56 and up late on Fri evening. So I booked a my first jab in for the earliest slot in ~12 days time. Only for the last step to say “problem, appointment cancelled” which perhaps implies some transactional integrity challenges with the NHS web back end. So I started again, and this time an appointment appeared for the following day (aka Saturday / yesterday). So got my first jab!
Have to say the vaccination centre was well- stewarded. At the entrance was a couple trying to blag their way in without an appointment. The 1st checkpoint pointed out that the NHS appointment invite didn’t include your NHS no which was what they used in the subsequent 4 checkpoints. So everyone was taking a smartphone snap of their record shown them at the 1st check! The 2nd check had a brief moment of surprise about my age. Other than that very smooth process! Highly recommended for those in the UK!
