Gladys Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Or to make it even easier, for the text message to have an additional sentence: "If you have already received an appointment for your booster, you may ignore this message."

Maybe that's why, what sort of condition is this queue-jumper you mention? Yes I am fit and healthy but I booked in a week ago so why are people younger than me (like my brother) now able to get theirs sooner when I have to wait for the new year? 45 plus and fit and healthy (but apparently vulnerable according to the dr) to answer your question Edited December 16, 2021 by Ramseyboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffles Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Somebody already gave a plausible explanation above. They have added additional slots onto days that were previously fully booked, in a response to the UK Government ramping up their booster programme. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Two colleagues have contacted me TT is morning saying their LFTs are positive. That takes the total to 4 and the first 2 are confirmed by PCR. That means I now know 9 people in my immediate social/work circle who are stuck at home unable to earn or socialise without a symptom between them. If they weren’t doing LFTs they wouldn’t know. This is insane. How long do we keep this madness going on for. They are going to kill businesses with this nonsense. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffles Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 8 hours ago, Ramseyboi said: What? that isn’t what has happened at all 😂 It is exactly what has happened. They were giving 1000 boosters a day. Now they have ramped up to 1700 a day. 1 hour ago, Ramseyboi said: If they weren’t doing LFTs they wouldn’t know. Good job they were doing LFTs then. That is the whole point of doing tests while asymptomatic. What is wrong with you? The whole scenario becomes "insane" when it affects a few people you know? Had it myself and found out from positive LFD, no symptoms. Then symptoms arrived and I was quite bad with it. I am glad I found out before I got sick so I didn't pass it in to my vulnerable family members or anyone else. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it was their choice to do an LFT, it was their choice to report the positive LFT in order to get a PCR test and they knew a positive test would mean they would be trapped for 10 days, how is any of that the governments fault? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackajah Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 12 hours ago, Ringy Rose said: It is achievable. Everything is with enough investment. The vaccines booking system doesn't run on Medway, it's based on a Microsoft Dynamics 365 system. Vaccines run on the same system as the testing and the travel. Is there a need to make what is really a temporary system talk to Medway? They had the oppo to buy a fully integrated system a while back, but chose not to. Even a temporary addition to Medway would take weeks or more to install and test. Believe me I'm in a position to know. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
