    Anyway, I’ll take a hit for the team and will be the CUK canary.

    I’ll keep you posted.

      Yep, just took the first available slot and told Client Co. I would be out for an hour or so to get it. No issues.

        After being #9000 in the online queue, losing my place and having to start over I was keen to take whatever I could find. You could see different sites appearing and disappearing in real time as they got booked up, etc. It was looking like nothing until 8th Jan but odd slots kept popping up much sooner, blink and you miss it sort of thing. Managed to snag one on Monday - only to get a "website error" and rebooked for 8th, but it turned out I got both. So 2 boosters for me.

        My GP surgery also has their own online system which seems to list different sites so I'm keeping an eye on that in case one pops up.

        Am I the only one who worries that with O basically presenting as a cold, the vaccination centre is about the worst place to be for Covid risk? So many people must be getting boosted who actually have it, at least in areas with big-O.

          I got my booster in a walk-in centre on the 1st Dec.

          I'll bet they're not walk-in any more.

            Some places are still doing walk-ins.

            I had mine on the day they changed from 6 months to 3 months, as that was my 6 month point, though I could have got one at my GP surgery.

                Are the British or Russians better at being in an orderly queue?

                  Russians because in Russia you queued for the product and never knew if there will be enough by the time it's your turn, where as in Britain people either queue to checkouts with products in hand or for something they know they'll get most certainly.
