They’re currently doing over 60s, vulnerable and healthcare workers and opening it up to all from January with details coming soon. Presumably they will have some kind of recommendation between them though.

Id imagine we’d be down to around over 25s by then if we’re sticking to a 5-6 month gap between second doses and booster. From memory Italy opened up jabs to their younger age groups a bit earlier

I think you might be right although sometimes Tuesdays death figures are higher because of a bit of a weekend recording lag as well. I always look over 7 days however there’s no doubt been an increase recently. Not really looked into split between U.K. nations although I do keep an eye on PHE covid inpatients which has crept up over past week or so to 6900…guessing linked to spike in cases/waning immunity. Still reasonably under control at the moment

My second was July, so that'd put me down as January.

It'd just be nice if they revealed their cunning plan, really...

Also worth checking with your own doctor. I got jab one and two from my GP and had a call from them to book in jab three. My Dad had his first two at his GP, different surgery to me, and again got the call direct from them.

My Mum had hers at Stoneleigh which is now closed, not sure if that's because its not needed or because of the work taking place for running HS2 through the site, and got nothing until she chased her GP and was then given an appointment for a couple of days later.

I heard something similar to what Grendel is saying, it won't be a GP invite, it will be online booking.
I'd prefer thisto be honest because I had to blag way into Stoneleigh to get my 2nd because it seems my GP forgot all about me

Didn't realise some clubs have already gone down the vaccine passport route. Know someone who went to Ipswich at the weekend, thought they were on the wind up when they said there were covid checks to get in, including onsite testing.
Any person aged 11 or over will either be required to provide proof of a NHS negative lateral flow test (no longer than 48 hours prior to the event) or proof of full vaccination (with the second dose administered at least 14 days before the relevant match). The Club will not accept actual lateral flow test sticks as proof.

For supporters aged 16 or 17, only one dose is required as proof of full vaccination.

The Club will also accept vaccine cards or a photo of the card as proof of double vaccination. You may be asked to provide photographic ID (passport, driving license) as well. A bank card will be accepted as proof of ID if no photo ID available.

The Club is aware of delays experienced by supporters when trying to load the NHS app to show proof of vaccination. To avoid this, screenshots of your proof of vaccination will be sufficient. You can obtain a 'paper copy' by calling 119 or applying online.

Please note that children under the age of 13 years will not need ID but their accompanying parent or guardian will have to validate their details.

The Club have arranged for mobile testing units will be in place around the stadium in Portman Road and Alderman Park. Please be advised that test results can take around 30 minutes to be processed.

I suspect because your doctors have had to go through everyone's medical records to see how gets covid jab priority. That's mainly the same people who are eligible for the flu jab.

I've been able to get a flu jab due to health issues for the last few years, never had a notification from my GP and always had to sort it myself. Since covid I get a reminder from my GP to book the flu jab.
