Received a text yesterday and went this morning. A bit of a bun-fight at times, just like the old days when having blood samples taken. Got there in the end though, thank you.

I arrived there about 5.15 yesterday and entered through the A&E door. There was a sign say have your safe pass ready but it wasn’t asked for. I went around to the Jab room and was the only one there, gave them the card with the other two jabs and sat down. 3 or 4 minutes later I was on my merry way again.

We're not in GESY. We had text messages on Dec 1, the 6th month anniversary of our 2nd jab, saying we were now eligible for the booster, and we should use the walk-in vaccination centers. No mention of limitation to any specific day of the week.

I had the Moderna vaccine this morning. The location is now on the ground floor. I went through the entrance to the right of the coffee shop, turned right and it's just down on the left.
I was in and out in 15 minutes.

Called my doctors yesterday about the booster, I was told to ring a different number which I did.
Booked my booster and by the time I finished the second call there was a text on my phone confirming the date and time for the booster!!

We had appointments but they were accepting walk ins also. For Pfizer there wasn't anybody waiting at all. Very efficient!

Now everyone is waiting for the EUDCC Portal to be upgraded so the booster will show on the system!

If it doesn't get updated and show the booster jabs, I hope the stores accept a copy of the vaccination as they are doing now

I haven't as yet been asked to show my booster jab health certificate. Possibly, the stores, supermarkets and tavernas etc are satisfied by scanning our EUDCC passes. They probably think that what they are doing now is sufficient...
