Have you tried making an appointment - the system should know if you are eligible.I'm planning on getting my booster next weekI'm a bit anxious about needing to prove I'm eligible though (this is to go to a walk-in vaccination centre), the NHS say you need a letter inviting you to get your booster, which I don't have, or a letter from your GP about your health condition
I had made an appointment but I've now found out there's a walk-in that's less than 10 minutes walk away, whilst the appointment one is 35 minutes walk, so I was going to cancel that, but it might be easier to go for the appointment if I don't need proof for itHave you tried making an appointment - the system should know if you are eligible.

I would say that as you were able to make an appointment it proves you are eligible. When you go to the walk-in presumably they look you up on the same database, so you should be ok.I had made an appointment but I've now found out there's a walk-in that's less than 10 minutes walk away, whilst the appointment one is 35 minutes walk, so I was going to cancel that, but it might be easier to go for the appointment if I don't need proof for it
That would make sense wouldn't it. Thank you @Mr_Pot, I am a bit of a worrier
I wonder what the difference is between people that means they have such varied reactions to the same vaccine. I thought when I didn't even get a sore arm from the first jab it was because I had no immunity but the second and booster jabs were just the same.
Didn't you get a card with your booster vaccine number on, the date and time and batch number, type if vaccine and your name, date of birth? We did today.Just had my booster done at a walk in. They ask your name, date of birth and your post code, look you up on a tablet, ask you a few questions about your health and if you had any adverse reactions to the vaccine. That's it, you are jabbed and sent on your way, no proof of anything required I offered to show them the little card I was given with the first two injections, they were not interested. I was in and out in just over 5 minutes

Thank you @catinahat, that is very useful to knowJust had my booster done at a walk in.

How interesting. Maybe it's a Welsh thing to have cards?I had my booster 10 days ago, and it wasn't until I'd left that I realised nobody was being given a card. Checked with my surgery today whilst there anyway, and they're not giving them for the booster, but she gave me a printout of my vaccinations which included the booster.
I’m in England I have a new card for the booster.How interesting. Maybe it's a Welsh thing to have cards?
I had mine Tuesday. Like the first two AZ a bit of a sore arm and marginally more tired/very mild headache. Both the latter were easily explainable for other reasons too so quite possibly no side effects. No one I personally know has yet to have a bad time of it. It seems so random.I had my Pfizer booster mid October and was very ill afterwards, couldn't even get out of bed for two days. Still, i'm ever so glad i had it done.
I read today speculation that those who have had covid might fair worse. I’ve personally wondered if a lack of response to vaccinations means a lack of antibodies created or if a strong reaction means these are the people who would have faired worst with covid itself . Maybe eventually we’ll know. I’m another that didn’t respond but without any known conditions that make it likely I haven’t produced what it’s designed for me to produce.I wonder what the difference is between people that means they have such varied reactions to the same vaccine.
