I don't have a mobile phone and/or the phone I have does not allow me to click on the link, what should I do?

• Do not be concerned. We will phone you to book you in if you do not book in via the link in the message.
• You can type the link into a web browser and book that way
• You could forward the link to a trusted family member or friend who could book you in for you
• The link is unique to you so you should not share it with anyone else

I have received two text invites at the same time, what should I do?

Most likely this is because you and a partner share the same mobile number. You will need to do the process twice using the correct date of birth for the person the message is addressed to. Try and book appointments at similar times so you can come together.

What about my second appointment?

You will be invited again closer to the time of your second appointment. You only need to book one appointment at a time

Can I have the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine if I have a history of anaphylaxis or carry an epipen?

There is no longer a recommendation to avoid this vaccine, unless you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients of the vaccine itself.
