[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] (or any Mod), is it worth a sticky for a few days that people can update with availability of boosters ?
I shared this info on twitter, but have been told that the racecourse:
1. Is not operating for walk-ins
2. Is appointment only...
3. ...and is fully booked.
So do NOT go there.

Lancing parish hall is doing walk ins. Big sign outside “walk-ins”. Was no queue when I went past couple of hours ago.

I've just been there. Today they ARE taking walk-ins and there is NO queue. Close at 5. I wouldn't have posted my original post if it was not the case. Changes on a daily basis though, so always worth checking.
Is it PotG?

Calm down, don't get the needle.
The messaging is so confusing. My brother can’t travel to any / many that you can book appointments for and refuses to acknowledge walk in centres exist - and ones that do vary so much. So he’s sat waiting for his doctors to invite him [emoji849]
I appreciate that. But I was immediately contacted by someone working there saying the absolute opposite:
“Please remove the tweet about racecourse - it’s not true and we’re fully booked.”
So I shared that.
And then someone else working there replied to that tweet saying people could walk up.

Just had a text from a friend who went up there for a Walk-in... No queue. So much conflicting advice!

I work there sometimes. My understanding is that at the moment each vaccinator has an allocated number of "slots" per shift - ie max number of people they can vaccinate in a shift. If the number of booked people is less than the max they can vaccinate then they can offer the empty slots for walk-ins. If they're already full at the start of the shift then walk-ins will be turned away. The problem I suspect is that it's not very easy to find out if the shift/day is full or not. Essentially you can turn up and they'll try to vaccinate you, but if they're full to capacity you'll get turned away.

The racecourse boosters appear to have been an instant hit.
Friend of mine who works at a different centre said they’re fully booked for weeks ahead now, but there are walk-ins taken every day because there are always a lot of no-shows.

I know that Wednesdays use to be walk ins for the 2nd jab at the race course, not sure if it's still that way.

I think it depends on which arm you are speaking to.
I had a walk in booster there on Tuesday.
I went there on Thursday for a booked booster jab, they had 2 queues, one for bookings and the other for walk in, at the door it seemed to be one and one from each queue going in.
Seemed to work well, I was jabbed a little after my booked time but not a problem.

No doubt people will be jockeying for position on this one.
