As I was booking mine online, by the time I'd chosen the date and time

So I went back and chose the first date to be at a better time (for
me) a couple more days on and chose the second date (now later as
well) at a later time (than the earliest available) to up the odds.

Whack-a-mole vaccine booking.;-)


The booking site is a mess.


Well I found it fairly easy to follow, other than this simultaneous
date reservation thing. I guess the only way to get round that would
to be to offer both dates and times simultaneously?

There's a major site in the town just down the road, and another in the
next town. For my first jab neither were available, only one in the
nearest (small) city and the next nearest 40 miles away.


Ouch. And there was me talking about having to go 7 (and I chose to go
further away for the easier parking).

So I tried the next week. None available at all. Anywhere.


Feck.

I got a better location for the second one, but still not the nearest one.


Assuming they will have stock then of course ... (re both of us).
