NHS website crashes as over-45s can now book jab
The NHS website for booking vaccination appointments crashed on Tuesday morning after those aged over 45 were allowed to receive a jab. It signals the start of 'Phase 2' of the vaccination programme - which involves offering vaccines to healthy adults under the age of 50. Until now the NHS in England had been focusing on offering vaccines to those at highest risk including people over the age of 50 and people deemed to be "clinically extremely vulnerable". Following the announcement, the NHS website crashed on Tuesday morning, as under-50s flooded the booking system hoping to get an appointment for their jab. A message on the website said: "The NHS website is currently experiencing technical difficulties. "We are working to resolve these issues. Thank you for your patience." Other users reported being placed in a queue, with a holding screen which read: "You are in a queue. Lots of people trying to book an appointment." Shortly after the NHS booking site crashed, Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi tweeted that the problem had been "fixed".
