FabSwingers.com forum: NHS booster booking site not allowing booking

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

We noted our jabs have been over 6 months but the site is still not allowing us to book a booster.

That fart of a Javid and other farts from number ten are harping on about how people must get their booster shots.

We dont work for the nhs or soc services but certainly meet the criteria IE, aged 50+ and had our jabs over 6 months ago

WTF fucking fuck is going on?

The farts on tv and radio bleat on about contact the GP, but GP can hardly manage phone appontments.

Someone on a radio station call in said they just tunred up at a booster centre and got the jab - Only caught part of their call but i was guessing they were over 50 and not working for soc servs or nhs.

You can't just book them at the moment even if your 6 months is up in most areas. You have to wait to get a text. They are looking at changing this.

Thanks to both. The NHS website states and I quote

"Who can use this service

The NHS will contact you to let you know when you're eligible to use this service.

This will be at least 6 months after your 2nd dose of the vaccine if you're either:

aged 50 and over

aged 16 and over with a health condition that puts you at high risk from COVID-19

You can also use this service if you're a frontline health and social care worker. You'll be able to book an appointment for a booster dose if it's been at least 6 months since your 2nd dose"

Cleary states you can use the webiste to book

But it very clearly also States they will contact you when you can book so yes you are eligible to use the service just not yet.

Sadly it does not "clearly state" anyhting

"If you think you should be eligible for the vaccine you can call the helpline on 119."

But at the start and what the politicians/farts fart on about book your booster

AND

I recall a caller on the radio saying he's "rang 119 told it was now '6 months plus a day' he thrn tried at 6 months and a day a few days ago could not book and was told by 119 that now it was and I quote

"If you have not been contacted and it's been 6 months and 1 week (190 days) since your 2nd dose, please try to book your appointment using this service."

and this is now printed on the front page.

today the farts are saying you can start booking a booster at 5 months but wont get the booster until month 6.

wasting out time and as usal slow off the mark.

Thanks

OK but it does clearly state you need to be contacted but secondly you've just answered your own question you need to call the number then.

We have both been called for our booster so maybe your area is just slower I've no idea, I was only trying to help.

You might be offered the COVID booster at the same time as the flu jab. My GP is doing COVID+flu vaccines for those eligible at the moment.

My Dad had his booster (he's 82) after receipt of a letter from the NHS, after which time he booked online.

Yeah that's what happened with Ash's mum but we both had the flu jab separately. It really seems to be dependent on your postcode.

"Icalled them Friday to be told that the November appointments are not being released until November and to call back then!!"

So call back in November, which is a week tomorrow. The logistics of trying to plan the appointments far ahead of time is challenging to say the least. My GP surgery planned a bunch of booster clinics but had to cancel on the day due to supplies from NHS central resourcing not being delivered. That incurred the ire of the people who had already set off or in some cases, queued up ahead of time. Better to book a guaranteed short notice appointment than feel like you're being mucked about when things planned far ahead get cocked up.

It makes it very clear you have to wait for an invite however health and social care workers can also use the service but they don't have to wait to be invited. It asks this question when you try to book.

You can also use this service if you're a frontline health and social care worker. You'll be able to book an appointment for a booster dose if it's been at least 6 months since your 2nd dose.

There's two distinct sections to the text. The first section, preceded by the statement "The NHS will contact you to let you know when you're eligible to use this service" is aimed at none healthcare workers.

The second section makes specific reference to frontline healthcare workers and so is aimed only at them. It states that people in this category can use this service [the online booking service] to book their booster and gives criteria about period after the second dose.

It is quite clear that non-healthcare workers must wait to be contacted about the booster. This is happening, ongoing now. My Dad had his second dose in January, as did many people at the very start of the rollout. He is 82, so in the oldest age category but didn't get invited for a booster till early October. That was 9 months after his second dose. People will need to be patient.

Exactly!

Ash's mum is 90 and also had her 2ed at the beginning of January. She had her booster 2 weeks ago.

I really don't understand people being so impatient, the people that have waited way over 6 months should definitely be priority and most health care workers fall into this category too.

I got a text from my GP surgery 6 months and 4 days after my second jab. I was then able to access the online booking and had a wide choice of appointment times and vaccination centres that I could book the very next day.

All worked wonderfully. I followed the clearly stated procedures.

I've heard about that on the radio but not in our area and nor with anyone we know.

The NHS moved the goalposts from 6 months and one day to recently 6 months and one week.

you are entitled to book via nhs site if 50 and over and or vulnerable adult I think. Site states contact gp if you are being refused and you are 50 and over but gp's autmated system states ay our surgery to call '119' - 119 has the same info as what you see when you login to the NHS booster site.

On a mooch

A little bit of patience, there are a lot of people that need a booster who had theirs a lot longer than six months ago. Add into that those that still need their second jab or indeed first jab.

My folks are early 70s and exactly the same age, one has been called and had their booster, the other is still waiting to be called. They live in two different health trusts but had their 1st/2nd jabs, oddly, on the same days.

I’m due mine in mid December but really not expecting to get called until January at the earliest.

There are a lot of people to get done, along with the flu vaccines and other school vaccines also due these next couple of months. There are only so many staff, with one set of hands.

If the entire strategy is to get everyone over 50 triple jabbed, then being able to book ahead would seem to be a sensible option. There's no point in bemoaning sluggish take up if people can't even get a booking ahead of time to ensure that theyre able to get the booster asap after 6 months. That's just common sense surely?

The patchy and unreliable supply of vaccines is a major reason for the short notice booking. My GP tried to organise booster clinics well ahead of time and ended up cancelling on the day, some people were already queuing outside. That was because promised vaccine was not delivered and they didn't have enough to do a clinic. Vaccine supply is not something individual GP surgeries or vaccine centres can control.

They don't do common sense, as you'll have noticed by their strategy since the virus was identified. They do like to give themselves opportunities to apportion blame, so they always have some get out of jail free cards, just in case.

I have no idea why there is so much negativity on here surrounding the booster jab....

The number of booster jabs given out so far is over 5.1 million. 24th October 325,140 boosters were administered and 800,000 over the last 72 hours.

10 million people are eligible for the booster, meaning they are already over half the way through.

My covid booster was originally arranged at my GP practice, to be adminstered at the same time as the flu jab.

As the flu jab is the adjuvanted type, I declined to have them both together at that time. i had the flu jab then. I arranged to have the covid jab at the vaccination centre, and had it this morning.

No problems at all arranging it.

It's actually 30 million people.

Everyone that was in the top 9 priority groups is being offered a booster. That is all those over 50, In the extremely high risk and very high risk categories under 50 and nhs and care staff.

I think given the logistics and magnitude of this task it is going well and people just need to be patient.

"Point is when didn't they start boosters fully in September as goverment stated.

Had all summer to sort.

Totally waste of space this goverment

I have no idea why there is so much negativity on here surrounding the booster jab....

The number of booster jabs given out so far is over 5.1 million. 24th October 325,140 boosters were administered and 800,000 over the last 72 hours.

10 million people are eligible for the booster, meaning they are already over half the way through.

It's still way more than 10 million in England because there are only just over 10 million in the other 3 nations.

Sticking to the booster jab discussion and its availability, what would you have done differently?

Whatever the number, my point is they are doing a great job administering the booster jab.

For your info here is the NHS update that gives you the England details, which is sort of what I said.
