Meanwhile, back in England, logged onto NHS, as I'm over 50, just keyed in my details and was given a date that's 6 months from my second jab. No health issues.
Sorry it's messed up in Scotlandshire.

Not messed up in my experience.
I got phone calls to go to my local surgery about a week in advance. No problems and I have had 3 jabs.
My son and daughter in law have both had their 3rd jab and they fall into the 50 to 60 age group. No problems.

It's ok, we are getting used to it now, after several years of you-know-who! Oops, don't mention the war... I think I got away with it, etc...

The rest of the residents of Ayrshire and Arran health board catchment area, and Lothian too, it would seem.Ah, it's just @Brandane 's fault. Silly billy.

So the problems appear to be local and not Scotland wide.

Working fine where I am.
My wife and I both have our booster appointments already (where they also offer the flu jag on the same visit), as do many friends.

After weeks of complaints, even Swinney has had to accept that Lothian’s rollout ‘has issues’.

Here in D&G they contacted me. Flu& Covid done together >4 weeks ago.
... and it gets even more complicated.
A letter today from GP, saying that while they won't be doing covid boosters, and I should book that via the website (already done, booked both covid and flu for mid dec) the GPs will now be doing flu jags for those in the "vulnerable" category - so I've got an appointment for that (but not covid) on Saturday!

Had my flu jab on Sat, covid next month. No symptoms from flu jab other than ache where injected which had gone by time I’d walked home.
