  • Vaccine system south of the border seems a lot better than up here.

    Mrs M_V has been doing enquiries on the website because she has several younger friends who have had theirs, some up to 10 years younger and no underlying health complaints or anything.

    I’ve not because I’m on the valneva trial.

    Both our blue letters came today so what she has been doing clearly didn’t accelerate anything despite being told it would.

    I’m currently on hold trying to do the right thing and cancel my appointment so they can use it for someone else. You can reschedule online but not cancel/opt out. I’m currently 187th in the queue!

  • some up to 10 years younger and no underlying health complaints or anything.

    Are you sure about the no health complaints? In our friendship group a bunch of people were called up like this. People who we had no obvious reason to think had health problems. It turned out that some had received treatment for mental health problems and in one case, their BMI was the reason they were called up early.

  • their BMI was the reason they were called up early.

    Like that fella who was registered as being 6 inches tall.

  • quite a few people on here (including me) called up a few weeks early presumably due to historic medical things (that are no longer 'underlying' anything)

  • their BMI was the reason they were called up early.

    My friend (no really, this isn't a #hippyisfat joke) was called up early because when he first registered at his GP he was quite a way above where he should've been weight-wise. So it doesn't even have to be if you're currently fat, just what their last measurement was for you.
