Over 45s

They don't always seem good at updating the parameters on the NHS website to account for people who have had subsequent birthdays.

You might just have to wait until they release the 40-44s.

Which will be in a matter of days no doubt here in Shields' as there surely isn't that many 45 to 49 year old's living in the town. It's a town with a population of just over 75k. Not that many. If the NHS PCT here in Shields's is working to local numbers of 45-49's and not vaccinating in accordance with how many 45-49's have been vaccinated throughout the country on a national level then I predict that the 45-49's ought to be all done by midway next week. Especially if the rate of vaccination is kept up or even sped up.

So rather than wait till June when I am 45 it may be prudent to keep on booking each day a few times a day. I will have more success that way.

Whole? I wouldn't go that far. 😉

Ironic that it is a name like Humbug who actually is one of my supporters.

It's tough though on those who are 44. They wait for months and yet another group show up ahead. But what is to stop those who are 44 changing their year from 1976 to 1975 on their DOB?

If it makes you feel better, I'm 29 and I had my first dose in February.

Seriously, though, they should be able to identify your DOB from your GP surgery's notes, so I wouldn't bother lying when you book the vaccine appointment. I'm not sure, though, because here I got a text asking me to book it by calling my GP surgery, meaning I haven't actually seen the website.

Not really marra.

But a question I keep on asking but always get's ignored time and time again because people are either too scared give me an answer to a perfectly mature question when I ask one, or can't give me an answer because their moral high ground isn't as high as they make out, is this.

OK the South Tyneside PCT (Primary Care Trust) is now like the rest of England vaccinating the local population of 45-49's. But what I want to know is this.

Are they working to local numbers of 45-49's so once all 45-49's in town have been vaccinated they will straight away move on to the next group, or are they working to the national population of 45-49's so once all 45-49's in town have been vaccinated they won't move on to the 40-44's till all 45-49's are done in England.

im not sure anyone knows difinitively so probably cant answer, rather than wont.
My guess is it would be broadly at a national level. EG if south tyneside rattle through their 45-49 year olds they'll make more slots available for people farther afield but logistically they will have planned for the slight regional variations anyway. My guess is you wont be waiting more than a couple of weeks for this to open up to 40-44 year olds

You had your answer this morning with NHS announcement “All 45s and over May now apply “ it didn’t say for instance “all 45s in East cheam May apply”

It’s national and has been through all age groups

The guidelines are for England.

If they complete the 45-49s in South Tyneside they should send the stock to other areas who are not yet finished.

:lol:
