    Not everybody will get a booster. You must be in  an eligible group to get one.

    Age 50+ is a pretty large part of the population.

    And the vast majority will be eligible for their booster before Christmas. I'm in the 9th, and final, group (age 50 - 55) and I can get mine from the third week in November.

    Ok so you cannot book until 6 months and 1 day then have to wait till your appointment - which could be at say the 7 month point?

    Most people are seeing appointments available within a few days, no need to wait a month.

    Ah, so I won't be eligible until next year then, after the xmas wave.

    This must mean you are not 6 months past your second vaccine so still have immunity from your first and second jabs.

    I had my first Jab 23/2/2021 and 2nd Jab 10/5/21 so hopefully will get my booster in November.   

    I am 31 but due to me being Autistic with mild learning difficulties my doctors got me in early for covid jab but couldn't book on NHS App if I can remember so hopefully get my booster soon

    Like many others above I got my text last night at about 11pm saying I can now book my booster (exactly 6 months to the day since my 2nd one) and was able to book for appointments within a week.
