Not sure if everyone was aware that it hasd started or might already know.

But just had a text from Gp saying I can now book jab, I have epilepsy so I'm included in the group but also have thyroid problems. So anyone else who has an underlying health condition included in the government list should receive a text or letter very soon. Booked mind for Saturday can't wait!

That might be the case in England.

Does it work like that in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales?

That page does say England, under "Who can use this service":

You also need to be registered with a GP surgery in England to use this service. You can register with a GP if you do not have one.

Thank you for the information. Presumably England. Not announced in Wales yet.

Please add your experience to our dedicated poll/post after you've had your vaccine:
