jesgardner - By my reckoning you should have your 2nd jag by this Friday 30th April. That would make it exactly 12 weeks.

I don't know which part of the UK you live in but if I were you I would be contacting your Health Board or whoever is responsible for sending out the appointments in your area.

We are using the "letter in a blue envelope" system here in Scotland for most appointments but there have been cases where the letters have gone astray and appointments missed. Not many I hasten to add.

Hope you hear soon,

Dorrie

I agree with dowdstree.
I'm also in Scotland. 11 weeks in my postcode between appointments.
I looked at the regional health board website earlier this month. I read the latest announcements and looked at the online calendar for my district of the region and saw that the 2 leisure centres had been booked again so I knew to expect an appointment for the end of this week.

Thanks for your help Dorrie. We live in England and were phoned about the first appointment which was at a local village hall. If we do not get a call tomorrow I will try to book appointments through the NHS website.

I would phone your Doctor.  Our original appointment came from our GP on our landline as did the 2nd.  The NHS website will possibly have a different location to those booked through your GP, I know that is true in this area.

Seems as if the first one was arranged by your GP then the second one must also.
I waited 14 weeks for mine, they have to arrange to share a Pfizer one as they cannot use a whole batch at once.

I would check as well. I had my first 4th February and was able to book the second at the same time for today 27th April. However, a couple of weeks ago my doctor's surgery called to check that I had the second appointment booked.

My sister's friend had her first jab (AZ) arranged by GP, but has booked her second one via the NHS booking system at the nearest NHS hub 20 miles away.  This might not be possible if its a Pfizer jab.

Son, (38 and vulnerable group) had his jab (Pfizer) 10 weeks ago at GP, phoned to see when the next would be and was told they had no Pfizer vaccine and didnt know when they would be getting any!!

I live in France, so the procedure's a little different - we have to book our own jabs. OH and I became eligible about 10 days ago, but there aren't many centres locally (very rural area). We found slots in a small town 45 minutes away for yesterday, and they gave us an automatic 2nd appointment for 4 June, so a little under 6 weeks.

Both of our appointments were booked at the same time - 10 weeks apart.
Friends and family have experienced the same booking system so am surprised to read so many people have to book the second one separately.
