If they opened it up to 30 to 44 the system is going to get overwhelmed and your going to see people in their 30s grabbing appointments ahead of people in their 40s.  Can't see it.

Maybe the plan on stepping down the age brackets every couple of days to get people booked in which would make more sense.

Still not open for 42yr olds FWIW. I'm currently trying every day.

It says in the 30s... I'd guess 36-44 first

My friend has just told me that over 35s can book next week too - not sure where she got it from, but will find out. Does seem a bit quicker than expected.

Surely we can’t be doing those in their 30’s so soon?

Pretty sure there’s been no indication of an increase in doses available has there?

Also we’re still balls deep in the 2nd doses.

Doesn’t add up does it?

Had my first jab 24th Feb. Assuming they will be in contact with me soon as advised. Don't know how long to leave to before chasing it up.

Yeah, had mine (Pfizer) on 17th Feb - 10 weeks ago - so I'm hoping for the go ahead for my 2nd dose in the next week or so.

I think you should have been called now. I’d chase it up.

I’m at 9 weeks I’m gonna call them at 11 ...

My mum and my partner's dad have both had their second one, with his mum booked in for next Friday. Getting there!

I've got a blood test this week at my GP's, I'm going to ask then.

As a few have said, they need to be offered it to get it. Seems like the government are sowing the seeds to blame young people for any future spike.

She was looking at the NI story, so false alarm!

Lots of the current stocks is pzifer so if JCVI decide under 40's are only getting that/new vaccines. Over 40's take the AZ/Oxford makes sense to open up to 35-44 so each get their vaccine of choice?

Strange way to look at it when there is no indication yet that a) they will even be offered it and b) that there will be a spike?

Someone’s been leaking these stories. Hopefully there won’t be a spike. Just we all know the Tories’ go-to is Divide and Conquer - generations is an easy one.

Grandparents had their second jab today and my parents both have their seconds tomorrow. 🙂

All feeling very good.

Memory is so weird. I have strong, definite memories of watching footage of The Velvet Underground at Glastonbury in 1993 on Channel 4, I remember the corrugated Pyramid stage clearly. Not camcorder footage, broadcast quality.

But it seems like maybe I didn't at all? God knows.

I don’t understand it. We are so close to the end of lockdown. What are they playing at?

And how come the police seem happy to let these gatherings take place now? It wasn’t like this at the Sarah Everard vigil a few weeks back.

Protesting is legal now and wasn’t in lockdown 

[crocodiles]

Had 2nd pfizer last week so feeling happy 😀
