Coronavirus Vaccine Eligibility Checker

imastawka — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 02:37:58 GMT

The page gives you a questionnaire.

After filling in the questionnaire, if you are eligible, is says 'make a booking'

Clicking on this takes you to page where you enter your postcode.

It then gives you the centres nearest you, where you can get the jab / make a booking.

Good for you.

They still have more centres to roll out, so I'm waiting for one closer - hopefully my regular centre.

Unfortunately, my GP has "No appointments available", so they must have run out oif juice, because I know my brother got a booking with them.

Just have to wait and keep checking, I guess.

Got my invitation through work (NSW Health) yesterday, signed up. Ours is being administered on 1st April. I have to admit, I don't like the date much haha 😂

Well, we got our jabs a couple of hours ago and so far we haven't died, detected any microchips or turned into flesh-eating zombies. Stay tuned for further updates.😀

Appointment for vaccination is booked for vulnerable family member this Thursday.

Re: Coronavirus Vaccine Eligibility Checker

countessalmirena — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 02:27:43 GMT

We are sitting in the reception room, waiting for my family member’s name to be called.

The possibly-at-risk cohort does not include family member, but I shall be keeping a very stringent eye on her.

It’s a complicated game of vaccination chess, and it’s time to castle my vulnerable and valuable piece.

Well, I tried to make an appointment.

I had to call a central phone number and was told - no bookings available in Melbourne at all. Call back next week, there's a shortage of vaccine.

Congrats Countess, on getting your family member vaccinated.

Re: Coronavirus Vaccine Eligibility Checker

countessalmirena — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 05:25:44 GMT

imastawka, Vermont Health care has vaccine appointments available in 2 days' time. You can book now.

9874 3344

Are you close enough to that location? If not, give me a ballpark area and I'll do some more digging.

Re: Coronavirus Vaccine Eligibility Checker

imastawka — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 05:37:32 GMT

Why was I told by 'Vaccine Central' that there was no vaccine left in Melbourne?

Countess, I want to wait until my local medical centre has some.

Thanks for the effort.

I'm not going anywhere, so I'll be OK til then.

Re: Coronavirus Vaccine Eligibility Checker

countessalmirena — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 05:48:44 GMT

Hopefully your local medical centre will have some lovely, lovely vaccine quite soon - in time to prevent you from having to order a complete bubble environment or from becoming a hermit. I am not made of hermit material, I frankly admit... all that hanging about in cold caves and the requirement to grow a long beard... (I am not a Bearded Lady.)

Mon dieu !

I have just been contacted about being given the vaccination, due to a particular circumstance. I'm grabbing that offer.

Tick, tick, tick...

Offer grabbed. Monday.

Just rang to see if I could get a booking and now have my name on "a list". The clinic I usually go to has no availability but I called the next one on the list. She explained the they can't book too far in advance as they have no idea whether or not they are going to be receive the vaccine (thanks Scomo!).

Anyway I'll just wait for the call. I wouldn't have bothered as I don't think I'm high risk at all but with flying to NZ next month, I guess it's sensible to take all precautions 😎
