Phase 2 covers individuals aged 18 to 49. Currently people aged 18 and above - or within three months of their 18th birthday - are eligible to book an appointment. 

You can book your appointment through the NHS vaccination portal here. These appointments will be for vaccinations at one of the large vaccination centres or pharmacies which are taking part in the programme and people will book the dates for both their first and second doses at the same time. You may receive a text from 'NHSvaccine' inviting you to book your vaccination appointments at a larger vaccination centre or pharmacy. The text will be sent to the phone number your GP surgery has listed for you and you may also get a letter a few days after.

For Phase 2, all vaccines will be booked in this way, rather than through GPs.

The national booking service has also been adapted to identify pregnant women so it will show sites and dates where Pfizer is available.
