I had a voucher last year but was unable to make an appointment on my day off at our local Lloyds pharmacy so went to Tesco. This year I am eligible for a free NHS jab as I’m now 65 and I will be getting it done at Tesco again. Better appointment times and no queuing outside Lloyds Pharmacy.

You can get one if your over 50 this year.

i'm getting my jab on Friday at my local pharmacy. i get it free because of health reasons but my wife asked about people over 50 getting the jab for free and the pharmacy knew nothing about it. well organised yet again.

It's possible the government will announce free for over 50's in November horse gate bolted comes to mind

Don't think there's any chance of getting a jab this year! No where near enough to go round, Boots and Lloyd's have suspended their bookings.
Shambles!

I got my voucher this morning and just booked online at my local Lloyds pharmacy with no problems

Got the letter this morning. It does say it’s for anyone not eligible for a free NHS vaccination. Seeing as they have already said everyone over 50 will be offered a free NHS vaccination this year does that mean a large percentage of the workforce won’t be able to use it?

Got mine thru the post but says you must show Royal Mail ID badge which I don't have, can I just show a payslip and my own ID

I did report my missing ID to my manager several years ago

We don’t have a Lloyd’s within 35 miles of most of the staff and they don’t want hundreds of us descending on the few Lloyd’s chemists that we have. I phoned Boots and they advised that priority was being given to over 65’s and NOT to book online.
