Has anyone successfully booked a Covid jab using the NHS app ?
I believe that this should be possible but can't find any mention of Autumn jabs in the app !

    Hello @Wibbles

    My mum has managed to. When I went on I was in a waitlist. My friend who lives in another part of the UK can't book anything until October. I think the roll out is a bit of a postcode lottery. 

    You can contact your GP Practice to ask. Or, where you had your last booster to see if they will be doing it again?

     I booked mine on the NHS site and had it within 2 days. When I 1st tried last Monday it said there was a queue to book so I left it a day. Tried Tuesday and booked it straight away for Wednesday.

    Are those with CP allowed to book a Covid booser this time round? I assumed not but to be honest I never know what group we fall into.

    Yes 
    It says 
    Stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Conditions in which respiratory function may be compromised due to neurological or neuromuscular disease (e.g. polio syndrome sufferers). This group also includes individual with cerebral palsy, severe or profound and multiple learning disabilities 
    (PMLD) including all those on the learning disability register, Down’s syndrome, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease and related or similar conditions; or hereditary and degenerative disease of the nervous system or muscles; or severe neurological disability.

    Thanks, I know previously it appears I fell within the 'clinically vulnerable' category so could get the booster but didn't think that category was applicable this time round.
