Is This Selfish Queue Jumping?

Our ID was checked twice when we turned up. Once on check in and once just prior to receiving the jab. I guess once you have had it that person cannot be impersonated and if you were impersonating someone due to have it you would be denying them the opportunity to have it?

Less than an hour after starting this thread I and my wife have received or invitation via text. This gives a link which is very long so i used the link that my acquaintance had sent to me as I prefer to do these sorts of things on my PC rather than my phone. This went straight to the NHS booking site. I just had to give my name, DOB and Postcode. This suggested the local mass vaccination centre and I was then given several options for both days and times available. A few clicks and the appointments were made. Both on the same day at the same time.

The only problem that I need to sort out is that, all being well, we should be away on holiday in the caravan when the second jab is due. I have opted at present to go to our local centre for the second jab but there is an option on the booking form to go elsewhere for it. Would this mean we could get the second jabs done somewhere else whilst we were on holiday ? I'll have to try to find out.

We also received the other ‘queue jump’ thread from a friend and she knew people that had used it to book although whether they got a vaccine I don’t know.  We didn’t use it as it clearly states on the NHS website to wait for your invitation which we did.  Like David I can understand, although not condone, why it’s being used as some are getting twitchy that they have been forgotten.  Our second jab was also booked when we would have been away but we have rearranged our break as I would rather get the jab not a holiday!! 

There seems to be a great variance in who and when. I received a voice call early in the week asking if I was prepared to travel the 10 miles to my nearest hospital for the vaccination, I am 71. After giving the info required I was asked if my wife would like the vaccination at the same time, she is 69 and obviously said yes, passed the phone over and she answered the questions required.

I received the Emails along with the NHS electronic appointments that I am signed up for, we went yesterday and received the jabs at the same appointments time, with the second booked for the first week of April.

I think folks need to be aware of fake NHS web sites and giving out details by clicking on links. 

Locally people are getting letters and phone calls with options for different venues or they can wait till their own medical centre offers vaccinations.

Our second jab was also booked when we would have been away but we have rearranged our break as I would rather get the jab not a holiday!!

Wise move, you could always have a bad reaction, hopefully not. I just had a mild head ache and felt a bit jaded the day after as a reaction to my Pfizer jab. I was perfectly fine the following day.
