We are inviting patients based on the national priority list. Please be patient and wait to be contacted about when the vaccine is available for you. We are currently inviting patients between the ages of 40-49 for their 1st doses and contacting patients for their 2nd doses when they are due. You do not need to contact your practices. Your appointment for the second dose of the vaccine will be up to 12 weeks after your first dose. You will be contacted by text, phone call or letter to book you in for an appointment. Our phone lines are very busy; please help us to keep lines open for people needing to make appointments for other health matters.

According to a source, 2nd dose appointments are running at around 10 weeks.
