If you’re at 6 the months since your 2nd jab you will get a text from the NHS, they ask that you don't contact them, they will contact you. My 6 months was up in the 5th October give or take a bit, they texted yesterday.
Yes, I know you can't contact them, and I'm not going to make a nuisance of myself at the GP either. I just would like to know if we are behind here or what. You used to be able to type your postcode, age etc into various calculators and get an approximate idea. Although as that was out by a couple of months in the end, I don't know what use I think it'd be anyway. I guess I'm just getting twitchy.
The health secretary just said in his press conference (it's on BBC news channel at the moment) to get on the national booking site if you don't get the text within 1 week of the 6-month anniversary of your second shot, or phone a number (I didn't catch the number, presumably the press will report it).

Ooh, right! That's me on the website tomorrow, then! Thanks! Edit: Just tried now and it says I'm not currently eligible...
I hope it works! What politicians say and what happens in practice don't always match up. My booster isn't due until mid-November so I won't be putting it to the test just yet.

Alas, not yet. It'll be a week + 6 months tomorrow, so I will give it a go then.
Edit: I am feeling extremely stupid because I've just gone back and checked the card, and it was the 24th, not the 14th..... I am one daft muppet.
I got a text inviting me to have the booster a couple of days before the 6 month anniversary. I'd booked it for the week after that but then contracted Covid so had to cancel and now have to wait until 4 weeks after my PCR test before I can rebook.
