Oh Paula, that's made my evening. Fantastic news well done for showing initiative, and shows how FT can help people out. In your case on Tuesday you should check your date on the website and see what it says, if it's the same date /place as hubby then take it, don't worry about time slots, as I'm sure you will have noticed, it's not too regimented. If not, just leave it, and go with hubby for his second too. Even if they are running short on vaccines and can't do you, then the system will keep your timing, more or less, so if after that decline, you should be able to go online and book at close to the date they will show on Tuesday. Or ring 119 if you're ok to travel a bit for it. There is another reason for doing couples together: it reduces social contacts overall, and for example we don't need to wipe down between you and husband because that's not logical.. So yes, it makes a lot of sense and reduces NHS/GP resource usage.

Sounds like a good day out! Don't plan anything too complicated tomorrow, you may need an easy day. And keep the Lemsip handy just in case.

I think we will have to wait a bit for KARFA presumably?

Well it's thanks to you and all the others posting info on here how to understand the system and I will always push forward until someone says "no", there was a couple of umms and ahhs, and told to ask the next person along in charge, but to others note keep trying until you get into the seat to be jabbed. I'll look online next Tuesday as suggested thanks and try and get booked in. Feel fine so far, will see tomorrow. Progress also towards the vaccine passport!

No ill effects from me on the Pfizer although my other half had hers at 10am and it wasn't till 6pm she felt a bit off. A few hours to go for me to see if the same timeline sticks, but we both had different jabs so can't really contrast and compare

KARFA

it's been a while since I fluttered my eyelashes at anyone, but I suppose if it get's me a vaccine earlier I may be up for it

Come Tuesday I would book something somewhere, even if not the same date or location as your OH. At least that way you have a back up. If you do get an earlier slot with OH, you can cancel your back up plan. Places are only locked in from noon the day before, so if you cancelled before then the slot could be picked up by someone else.

Well everyone will get their first jab soon, it’s going to really pick up now.

I'm looking forward to your account in due course too, hopefully not too long away either.

paulaf

Will do, funnily enough had booked hubby in for somewhere much further away for end of next week, so I cancelled it within hours of booking it and rebooked for today somewhere closer so maybe it was fate I got mine today too. As an aside I booked his online 6 days before he got the text from the GP. Yes I hope all other FTs get theirs soon too, it's looking very likely if you believe the Telegraph.

Ealing, 100,000 vaccinated, 250,000 to go. Should come with a moobs alert too.

Yeah, some 250,000 to go though (including yours truly), onwards & upwards! I receive Cllr Bell's email blast every week but it didn't show him in his undies...

I anxiously await that day! I think my 22 year old in UK might be the last of us, husband becomes eligible in California on Monday and I should not be far behind. Youngest slid in early by volunteering on campus at Berkeley. I will breathe a sigh of relief when all 4 of us are done.

22 year old's bestie got her jab at Astra Zeneca last week, she is on her placement there, daughter is thinking back to last Jan and Feb when they were all interviewing and seeking placements all the gang thought daughter was quite lucky to get one nearish to London vs in the hinterlands of AZ's facility, but as it turned out, none of them went anywhere but work/home/work/home, so AZ turned out to have it own benefits.

It really is amazing to hear so many people here are receiving their jabs so quickly. Being 27 I expect that I may have a bit of a wait when I return to the UK at the beginning of April.

Mrs Wilsnunn is a doctor so should be able to get hers as soon as we are back and have finished our ten day self isolation - maybe some eyelash fluttering on my end will help and we can do it together.

NewbieRunner

That's probably what happened in my case. I was given a date for my second Pfizer jab five and a half weeks after the first but a friend in the same county who had his first AstraZeneca jab one day before me has not been given a date for his second.

antichef

I knew you could do it - if pushed!!

I have to chuckle at myself here, as I had been reading the user name of the recently jabbed paulaf as probably a Paul AF (FT thinking I suppose).

Even when a hubby was mentioned and fluttering eyelashes invoked, I still had not picked up a gender (I have met a few FTers and plenty have hubbies!) ... only when CWS wrote Paula has the penny finally dropped that it is probably Paula F

paulaf

Correct I'm a Paula! I'm guilty as I thought when I first joined and just read posts about seats and lounges a few years ago and didn't really engage or contribute, there was a lovely story about CWS reuniting a lost soft toy or teddy with its owner by flying it back up to Newcastle and showing us photos of it en route, I thought CWS was a lady for a while until more recently ! Sorry!
