Vaccination without booking reference

Options
I booked an appointment on line for tomorrow, but never received email/text confirmation so I don’t have booking reference. I think the booking went through because if I try to book again it asks me for the booking reference.
Do I need this for the appointment? I remember when and where the appointment is, so I could go. 

I don’t remember when my second appointment is though...

    It asks me for my booking reference before I can see/do anything, which I don’t have.

    I live in England and didn't need my booking reference for my vaccine and neither did either of my daughters. Not sure what you would do to find out when your 2nd vaccine is.

    I was asked for mine when i went, but they should be able to find you still, and give you your reference so you can check second appointment.

    Those centres that check people in on a printed list will have your name, those that use an iPad and have as their first question your booking reference can use your surname and dob as an alternative. I wouldn’t worry too much if your appointment has definitely been made.

    Normally people get a text confirming their appointment. There is always the chance that you got as far as the confirmation screen and didn’t click the final confirmation screen. There is every chance that the centre will still be able to vaccinate you, we had a lot of walk ins today. If this has happened, the advice is to wait 2 days then go online and book your second vaccine (again).

    Texts and emails finally arrived 36 hours after I made the booking, and almost 24 hours after the appointment.

    I managed to find the reference in the end (found the browser tab where I made the appointment), so was OK.
