I have received a txt from my GP surgery asking me to book my Covid 19 jab.I have booked it for this coming Tuesday. I am 53 years old living in North London.I am a little surprised to have been offered it this early as my mum is 72 and had hers less than 4 weeks ago. I am on medication for chest pains and I am guessing that is why I may have been offered it this early |

Your chest problems would move you up the list. |

Yes it would have done and in some areas they have already started on group 6 which is the high risk group.
There is a list of conditions that put you in group six on the government website.
The program is motoring now so more and more people are being offered the vaccine earlier than they thought.
Its good news.  |

OP you could live in an area where they are moving through the groups quickly as the numbers of each group aren’t large.
There is no set date for each group, just working through lists in each area.
You are not queue jumping, your GP has invited you, so the choice is yours |

Just out with curiosity is this a local centre or at the excel?
I know if you are currently in a category that is being prioritised you can put in your nhs number and see if you can get an appointment at the excel centre and its the same with all the mass vaccination centres. Currently its meant to be over 70's and shielding people but I've seen in local Facebook groups people that a are 60 plus have tried this and got appointments. |

Thank you to everyone that has contributed to this thread I have booked my appointment for this Tuesday. I was a little surprised that I was offered it this early as I didn’t ask for it and as my mum is 72 and had hers less than 4 weeks ago my cousin is 61 and only had his on Tuesday I was just surprised.I hope the rest of the UK is moving as swiftly as my part of North London seems to be. |

Might be worth checking with her doctor that she's in the right category because I know somebody that was put in group 6 and should have been 4 by mistake. |

That is a bugger.
The person I know that was put in group 6 by mistake has now been rectified and they were able to have the vaccine 2 weeks ago.
just worth double checking.
I hope she gets it soon. X |

Most counties are well ahead of their targets and are onto the next stage. Depends on when they started and how many in the area. Salford are well ahead and warrington is on target
