That's rubbish to put it nicely.... hopefully, I must of done it really quick then when people didn't even know about it as all appointments was up, and not full must of been a mad rush after that, I literally got the text about county showground then saw on BBC news about 25-30's getting offered the job so went on the nhs booking site and there it was. it did say I was in queue with 600 odd people but it only took a min or 2 to get through.
Just good timing for once I suppose, unusual for me.
Maybe it's worth to keep having a look just incase?
I told him to do that, I even offered to keep trying for him whilst he's a work. He said not to bother (He was rather fed up on the phone tonight that he hadn't managed to book within a decent distance) but me being me , I shall have my eyes peeled for something popping up.....I think the GP route may be winding to a close. Worth checking every few hours as they release new slots.

Thanks for suggesting @Lucy I've just found appts for Bromsgrove , 12 miles each way from his house , for both of them .
He's booked them .... 1st this thursday before work (I've told him he'll be ok for work afterwards , and feel perfectly fine for his weekend off with special plans to go out ... hope he is now or I'm going to get it in the neck ). 2nd one end of August , just before his music festival
Glad you are feeling fine after it . The pen part of the dream probably comes from the needle ...That's great, although I must say I do feel lucky to be able to go 5 mins away from me, as I don't drive either!
I've just had a achey arm, after a night sleep i'm fine, I did have some weird dreams though which involved getting killed by pens? Hopefully he'll be ok!
Just read that 1 million under 30's booked their appointments on Tuesday . Nice to see the youngsters are just as keen to get the vaccinations.
It has been heartening to see there has been little sign of 'hesitancy' in any great measure anywhere along the timeline of the rollout.I can’t believe there was ever any doubt tbh, we’ve been begging for it
I eagerly await seeing some proper evidence about safety and side effects of the vaccines on under 18s. So far all there really is is political reassurances and slogans.It appears the vaccine hesitancy is likely to be in the 50s age group if you look at the take up stats so far. Hopefully most of the school age kids have parents in the 40s group for when they need to give permission for their jabs.
Hopefully they do give permission. (I always think of a young lad I worked with in GEC, he was in a wheelchair because his parents hadn't had him vaccinated with all the usual childhood vaccinations and he caught Polio at 16 yrs which crippled him .)It appears the vaccine hesitancy is likely to be in the 50s age group if you look at the take up stats so far.

Making a decision which is essentially a bit of a gamble with your own long term health as an adult is fairly easy. Making one for a youngster, far less at risk of harm than yourself is another matter altogether.
I need much more convincing.
I don't know.How long do we wait, the vaccine is technically still in trials until 2023
Especially as we have way more of AZ than we do of Pfizer, so could took it out to high risk areas much more quickly, as Andy Burnham has rightly been asking for.I wonder if the risk reward with AZ will change with the delta variant?
