I had my invitation ages ago, tried numerous times a day to book it since, and have never have once been offered the appointment where everyone else in my age range has had theirs within a mile of my home. At best, the closest place I get offered most is Newcastle area, 60 odd mile round trip for both jabs ... once I was lucky enough to get it offered at Darlington football ground so at least some progress ... but thought I will give it another week or so see if there are finally more appointments in my area or Middlesbrough area in general (though I live within R&C range) ..
I have had no such luck .. hearing it's a widespread complaint among my age range. I'm 35 .. and must have tried 10 or more times a day in the past fortnight and they are all on the outskirts of Newcastle City centre or within the City it's self.
I have raised concerns to GP/111 and just passed from pillar to post with conflicting advice. Basically, I can't do anything unless a jab in my actual area comes available.
Some would say just get both jabs booked further up North and move on but it's not convenient at all to travel like that for two jabs at moment. Hell, even some people refuse to travel as far as 20 miles away to get theirs done .. can't say I've ever had such luck to be offered them even that closely yet!
It is coming up two months now and nothing seems to be improving. At a loss what to do about it, the longer I wait to get a jab locally the more at risk I am and I just want to get it out the way.
