My daughters are 42 (twins).
Daughter #2 works in a Vaccination Hub.
She had 1st jab some time ago - if there are doses left at the end of a day, the staff on duty get first refusal.

Often, the left over doses cannot be kept.

On Sunday, partly due to no-shows, they again had doses left over. These were offered to friends and family of the staff.

So daughter #1 had her 1st jab. She has a needle phobia, so they found a booth with a bed! And her sister held her hand! Awww!! ;D

I checked online calendar for my health board. The venue in my postcode has been booked for last 2 days this month so I'm expecting a letter this week or next.

The blue envelope dropped on the doormat last Friday containing appointment on Thursday + 4 vouchers for free bus travel to the vaccination centre. Although the mass vaccination centre is in my postcode it's 2 buses each way.
Added. Some of my neighbours have their appointments same day. Our postman's bag must have been full of blue envelopes on Friday.

Glad to learn that you have managed to get second jab appointment so soon after first. We had our first jab appointments of the AZ vaccine on 5th February and have heard nothing since. GP surgery website says do not contact them about jab appointments. I wonder if many have had to wait more than 12 weeks for the second jab.

OK - not AZ - but Pfizer.  I had my first jab, via GP on 23 January, and second on 22 April.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Our first appointment was the same week as yours and arranged by our GP at a nearby Health centre. When we went for our jab we were told that if we had not heard anything by 10 weeks to contact our GP.  At 10 weeks I contacted our GP through their website and they rang me within the hour and booked our 2nd appointment which we had at 10weeks and 3 days.  I am in Surrey
