Also worth noting that If you have had a jab organized by your doctors they only give you the first jab date and you are meant to wait for a second call or text for your next appointment for jab unlike the booking site where you can arrange both. (this is what I was told when I had mine 3 weeks ago at the mass vaccination centre in Thanet.
However, if you go online and use the national booking site, once you have entered your NHS number and DOB it gives you dates for your second appointment which is excellent as it means you can get organised well ahead of time rather than waiting and being given limited times/dates.

I know plenty of people who have been sent to Crawley and Eastbourne. Brighton filled up very quickly it seems

Anyone receiving their COVID-19 vaccination at the Brighton Centre will be entitled to one hour’s free parking in the Churchill Square Orange Car Park. Please follow these instructions to claim your hour’s free parking while you have your vaccination:

Park in the orange car park (Churchill 1), which is located in Regency Road East, BN1 2RU. The vehicle height restriction is 2.13 meters
Enter the car park via lane 1 (left hand lane)
On arrival take a ticket from the car park barrier
Explain to the Churchill Square Security Officer that you are attending the Brighton Centre for a COVID-19 vaccination. You will need to provide proof of vaccination appointment for that day (showing the confirmation you have received on your phone is fine).
The security officer will then validate your ticket.
The 1 hour/60mins free parking begins from the minute you enter the car park. Any additional parking will be charged at normal rates.

That's the car park entrance near the Clock Tower.

Yes mate. Mrs GB went today. Go past Family and turn left into the car park after the Weatherspoon, and then make sure you are in the very left hand side of the left hand lane. You have to park on the bottom level.

My Mrs used the link sent by our GP (I didn't get one until I'd already booked on the national website)........when she went in for her first jab, they confirmed the date of her second then (from the look of things they were simply lifting a complete day's appointments to another date 10 weeks ahead)

Text messages now being sent out to book at Brighton Racecourse for 45-50s. Good mate of mine just signed up for there having missed out on the Brighton Centre. Probably available online if you don't have a text.

Unless it’s recently changed Brighton Racecourse was only being used for people registered with certain practices in Brighton, so different to Brighton Centre in that you had to be registered to a specific practice.
https://www.sussexhealthandcare.uk/...righton-and-hove-gp-led-vaccination-services/

So can ring if registered with one of those practices and not had a text (did that myself) but not if you are not at one of the named practices. Unless of course that’s changed recently.

Fair enough, everyone I know who had a text would probably be at Portslade Health Centre.

Yes. My mother is 1 week away from her 12 week gap expiring and no sight nor sound of a 2nd appointment from our useless surgery ( who refuse to take phone calls on vaccination to add to the misery ).

After being offered locations miles away, I logged in last night and got both appointments booked at the Brighton Centre, the first is next Tuesday, so it is worth trying again if you have had problems.

All the way to the end of the A11 and then some!
Had my 2nd armful of Mr Pfizer's snake oil yesterday afternoon up here in the Norfolk wastelands. Had zero reaction to the first one back in Feb, but with the 2nd one I am aching and have the chillls. Should only last a day or so I can put up with it. Bitterly disappointed not to get a sticker on either visit :angry:

I’m afraid it’s most if not all surgeries not taking calls, regretfully there are many other issues out that that need dealing with too.
