For those waiting to be called for vaccination this might be a shortcut

Over 55s can now book as the 'back end' to the website has been changed to accept that group although the website still says over 60s - I tried first thing this morning and was rejected but was alerted to it by a friend this afternoon - however I had just been offered a jab that was going spare.

The front page has been updated and now includes:

You are not currently eligible to book through this service

If you’ve already had your first dose of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine at a GP surgery or hospital, contact them to book the second dose of the vaccine.

Maybe I didn't read the entire thread!

Natch, I'm 55.

I saw over the weekend the official extension of the vaccination rollout to include healthy 60 year olds officially started yesterday (Monday) yet I was able to make my booking last week and the friend who alerted me actually got his first dose last Thursday.

Over 55s can now book as the 'back end' to the website has been changed to accept that group although the website still says over 60s - I tried first thing this morning and was rejected but was alerted to it by a friend this afternoon - however I had just been offered a jab that was going spare.

Thank you so much for posting this invaluable information!

The website has now changed to say you can book if "you are aged 55 or over".
