Is This Selfish Queue Jumping?

Obviously selfish queue jumping. Not sure how they booked without using the unique number that is on the letter. I also think they will be turned away.

I think the major problem is the lack of communication in some circumstances. It is nearly two weeks ago we were told we would get a letter, or perhaps a phone call, to invite us all to the vaccination centre. My neighbours of similar age, but different surgery,  have both had their vaccination, we have heard nothing. So people will get increasingly anxious the more they hear about that sort of situation. As to the ethics of what has happened in the OP there are a lot of frightened people out there which always leads to people trying to take short cuts. Can't condone it but can perhaps understand it!

I'm wondering , like Debsc how they booked without their reference code? This code has to follow you through the system, especially for the booster.

Not necessarilly, there seems to be two ways you get invited.

1. By the surgery you are registered with, usually by phone confirmed by text

2. By the NHS who write to you and provide a link to make an appointment.

I think 1. is to go to your local centre and 2. is to go to the regional mass vaccination place? I have had both and the letter from the NHS told me to ignore it if I had already been vaccinated. I would give you the link but I destroyed the letter once I read the ignore advice. Perhaps this is the link which was provided and was probably issued to ensure no one fell out of the net.

There is also a web site offering quick appointments, I would not trust that one.

My OH could only get a booking for the first jab at a centre 50 miles away. However, for the second jab he managed an appointment at a much smaller Centre which is just 10 miles away. My question is, will the second centre have the same type of vaccine available on the day, as the one he will get at the first Centre?

Its reportedly rife in Spain.

I don't know if it came with a code to provide as I did not take too much notice of the procedure once I read the ignore bit.

It's a form of fraud and no one in their right mind can surely condone impersonation by an imposter in whatever walk of life, but perhaps you think such actions are acceptable?🤷‍♂️

Edit: and as I wrote that, in buzzed a text with my invite bearing my individual ref number.
