I was chatting with an old school friend yesterday on Facebook, and he told me he had just been messaged to come in for his jab that afternoon.
I was a bit shocked as my LHB hasn't finished vaccinating people in their 50s yet. A family friend who is 51 has her first vaccine appointment on Tuesday.
He's 30 and lives in Powys in Mid Wales. I was just googling to see when I was likely to get my vaccine, and I saw this on Powys HB's website, 'Everyone aged 40 and over should have received their invitation by now, but if you have not received yours then please complete our Priority Access Form so that we can fast-track you to an appointment. Our reserve lists for first dose appointments help us fill cancellations and ensure no dose is wasted. They are currently open to people 30-39 (primary reserve list) and people 18-29 (secondary reserve list) for appointments in all three sites.'
Why has this area invited everyone in their 40s for the jab - and seemingly has plenty to spare as it's inviting people aged 30 at lunchtime to go in for spares - when in other areas older people haven't received theirs yet? My LHB has a reserve list, but it's only for people aged 40-49.
I'm no expert on the roll-out in different areas, but is this common across the UK?
I'm a bit miffed tbh.
