I was told by track and trace my booster may get delayed, also the blood transfusion service won't allow me to donate until into the new year after having a positive test early in November.

Really? The website says 28 days after resolution of symptoms
https://my.blood.co.uk/KnowledgeBase/Index/coronavirus infection
I tested positive on 24 October and am booked to give on Thursday (16.12).
Unless you’re a platelet donor or something abd rules are different?
Call them before cancelling if not had specific instructions.
you can’t have the booster for 28 days either

For the blood donation call I told them my isolation ended on the 13th November, I said my sense of taste and smell hadn't returned, they said we will contact you mid Jan to see if you can donate, it's just blood not platelets etc.
I'm not due a booster yet, I was told I need to mention the dates when I got contacted, it maybe they were reading from a script and just mentioned it in case.

Fair enough, website says smell and taste loss not an impediment but seems you’ve been told different

I may call them again and see if I get a different answer, like you said the website says otherwise, unless it's not been updated but I doubt that's the case.

My booster doesn't show on the app.
Maybe because I only had it 2 weeks ago.

Latest UK data (9 Dec) shows that (of people in the UK aged 12 and older - about 57M) 89% have had a first dose of vaccine, 81% a second dose and 38% have got boosters. That's still nearly 16M (all ages) who've not been vaccinated at all.
Over half a million jabs reported given yesterday (7 day average = 445k). Above the rate needed to meet the 'offer all over 18s a booster' aim (but needs to be as there be 'nil' days during the public holidays, I'd assume).

Should that be 51M? Or have I misunderstood?

89% of 57M (number of over 12s in UK) = 51M. 67M total - 51M = 16M unjabbed. HTH

My first two shots came up within a couple of weeks but the third one has taken much longer tho' it has now appeared.
Give it a bit longer perhaps.

In theory perhaps but there was much more delay than after the first one which appeared very quickly. The third one took even longer but not sure of the time scale as I have only just noticed it.
