It's alright @Jimm. The uptake and therefore the likelihood of overspill ad hoc vaccine seems to vary by location.
Seems there are vastly different reactions when I mentioned to another member who wanted to be vaccinates that they could try turning up at a vaccine centre at the end of the day to use up any unused vaccine.

It's alright @Jimm. The uptake and therefore the likelihood of overspill ad hoc vaccine seems to vary by location.
For example- our local centers seem to have pretty epic queues, and seem to be fully booked-from ride-bys - but I know elsewhere has had reduced uptake and therefore have been keen to fill slots/ use supply. Certainly the volunteer vaccinators are pretty likely to want to utilise stock- rather than throw it out, and I feel there's a little competitive streak in there too. cf countless news pieces on Janet X who vaccinated 200 people today, etc.
FWIW -anecdotally- the roll-out for 'frontline' staff was rolled out similarly- with extra supply being sent with a vaccinator to departments to ad hoc vaccine anyone who met criteria.
Second dose Pfizer was a brute, for me. But it settled down soon enough.
Get your vaccine, don't be a dick in either direction- either judging others for seizing an opportunity in a system rife with inefficiency- or being that jackass who demands a jab in their local A+E.
