Younger Brits have reported being able to move their second jab earlier, as well as over-40sSome managed to move their slots forward, but others weren't so lucky
One person wrote: "I brought my second vaccine forwards by three weeks. When I cancelled the original date and booked a new one this morning, there were loads of earlier slots available. It's worth giving this a try!"vaccine tomorrow! Earlier than expected So happy. Thank you NHS." "The NHS website now will show you the availability at the vaccine centre that you had booked for, BEFORE you cancel your appointment which is a new feature.""So many slots available at Islington or even other pharmacies not shown when I booked original one.However, some weren't so lucky and found no earlier slots when they tried to move their appointment forward - ending up with a later date than they originally booked.
Mark Ford, working on the National Booking Service for the vaccine, tweeted: "If you want to bring your second vaccine dose forward, but haven’t because you have to cancel your appointment first… you can use the new availability checker before you cancel to make sure you’ll get an appointment sooner."Everyone else eligible to be jabbed should be waiting to be told if they can re-book earlier, NHS England said.
