Not booked in yet - they said i'll get a link soon. Does anyone see their vaccine status on their NHS app by any chance? I heard Matt Hancock say we should do by Monday if I'm correct? mine appeared within 48hrs after my shot. i remember it was not there the next day, but i cannot recall if it was later that evening or on day 2 that it appeared. |

I'm being told that the Brentford Leisure centre vaccination centre is open for walk-ins towards the end of the day. Initially they were saying above 45 years of age, but I know of a friend of mine who got jabbed at 40 and, literally now, another who's 38 but recently has had twins and has been getting so little sleep that he could pass for Gandalf the Grey... Neither had appointments.

It's not something that usually needs treatment, indeed it's quite appropriate to be very wary about sharp things!

You will only easily see your vaccine status on the NHS app after the second dose. But this thread gives information about what you can do in the meantime:

There is now further evidence that delaying the second jab is a good thing, also on an individual level. A higher antibody response was observed in 80+ year olds. Should we assume the same is true for younger age groups? https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/la...-response.aspx

Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre - Update
From the ChiswickW4 website:
If you are over 18 you may be able to get a Covid-19 vaccine by going to the Brentford Fountains Leisure centre towards the end of the day. Unadministered doses are being given out regardless of age after 5.30pm from Monday to Thursday. There is no guarantee there will be spare vaccines and you may need to queue for some time before receiving them. There were reportedly teething problems with the queueing system on the first day of operation this Wednesday (12 May) with people waiting for over three hours before being told there were no doses left. It is hoped that in future staff will be able to advise people when they join the queue if there is a chance of the vaccine being available for them. You will need to bring photo ID and your NHS number if you have one. Indeed the other day there was a bit of a kerfuffle with people queuing for a few hours, only to be told they were out of vaccines and they could get a booking for a future slot... except that the bookers had closed for the evening. My neighbours who've gone there yesterday found it better and said that if you get there at 4.30/4.45ish you're pretty much guaranteed a place. Nobody asked them if they were residents so no need to practice your best Mc Grindah impersonation I guess. They were doing Pfizer yesterday. Oh, bring a brolly or some wet weather gear as there's little cover and it was pi**ing yesterday. |

Do we have any updates on the J&J in the UK?

This is great, thank you. The council website doesn't mention parking - is the car park open at Fountains? And if necessary are there any tips for people from Kingston to pass as more Hounslow? :D

It may well let you book the 2nd dose online tomorrow through the NHS online booking platform. Worth a try anyway.
My vaccine appeared in the app today, so 24 hours later. |

a short sleeve t shirt was fine for me, easily roll up the sleeve to above the top of the arm and gave plenty of space to be jabbed. |
