All my (old) friends who had the vaccine early on due to age etc have

It wouldn't let me complete booking for 1st jab without booking 2nd at
same time. 1st was had in Leicester, but no appointments there for the
2nd, so I'll go to Tamworth for that in June.


Round here, it was your GP who arranged the vaccine for us oldies and
vulnerable. With the second one not always given a date for. Online
booking seem to give both.


There are still two separate systems running. The central NHS system and
your local GPs.

Recently I received an NHS letter (54, with a slightly increased risk
due to a medical condition) and booked both appointments online. A week
or two later, I received a text from my GP, offering appointments, with
a link to book and the option to reject, which then brought up further
options for reasons for rejecting, where I selected "Already booked
appointments" or something similar.
