Is This Selfish Queue Jumping?

OH got text invitation on my phone, we share the number 😉., to book at our GP, text sender NHS same as his cardiac messages come from and the usual GP texts. 

No indentifiers/number asked for or given in the text he got his as extremely vulnerable i did ask if I could have mine but was very nicely told no invite no jab. Didn't push it.

2 friends who use different GP's have both been able to be 'done' together after they were contacted by GP surgery by phone by asking whilst booking the invitee and after info checked,  both were next group down whereas I am currently 3 groups lower than OH at the mo but will go up a group next week as my birthday will tip me into the next group.

Whatever system they put in place folk will find a way round it sadly. It is fraud and morally wrong in my book but in all walks of life there are those who are more justified/entitled/needy than the rest be that space on the road, general queue jumping etc.

"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"

cant believe you are even contemplating trying to change destinations etc that could possibly put in jeapordy you receiving any vaccination. I know what i would be doing, either returning from holiday early or cancelling

You can book a first jab in one place and a second in another.  It works off the postcode(s) you input.  I have just done it for another legitimate reason.   

Frankly our Government has come in for a lot of criticism but in this case they and the NHS has got it really well organised.  

Apologies did not know this, I wonder if a post code in Spain would work

Agreed - and surely it makes sense to book the second jab at home since travel for holidays may still not be permitted anyway when that second jab is due?  

(Quite apart from taking a jab destined for someone local to that holiday area? )

You could give it a try but I would not bet on them having any vaccine .
