According to the Boots web site, it is only free NHS jabs that are
not currently available to under 65s. Their private service is still
available to anybody.

They're not accepting any bookings for any flu jab:

"Under 65s Winter Flu Jab Service Due to unprecedented demand for flu
vaccinations this year and stock availability we have had to suspend
bookings.#######" https://www.boots.com/winter-flu-2020


"Over 65s Winter Flu Jab Service Due to unprecedented demand for flu

are the two options from the appointment booking page which you get
from the Book Now link at

My sister was told it was due to a supply problem due to a shortage of
eggs.


The NHS has 30 million doses, so there is not a shortage for the people
they think need it.

I doubt if they 'have' that number; they have probably ordered that number
and it will supplied in batches. There may be temporary local shortages. I
think the vaccine has a fairly short shelf life.


and I'm not sure how anyone knows who has what at any time as there's a
multiplicity of providers ordering direct from manufacturers. DHSC only
order some - eg vaccines for children.
