AS THE biggest immunisation programme in UK history accelerates, many will be wondering when they will be invited to have their second jab.

More than 22 million people have already had a second dose of the game-changing vaccine, while people aged over 50, and those who are vulnerable, should get their second dose a month earlier than planned.

Government guidance initially said that a 12-week gap should be left between first and second doses of the Astra Zeneca, Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

However, fears over the Indian Covid variant surging in Bolton, Blackburn and Bedford has meant the vaccination programme has picked up its pace in a bid to beat the deadly bug.

An online calculator is predicting when people are likely to be called in to have their first and second coronavirus vaccine.

The Omni Calculator tells users how many people in the UK are likely to be in front of them in the queue for the jab, including when they could expect to receive their vaccine.

It's been popular for a while but it's worth checking in on it again if you're interested, with the vaccine delivery speeding up and including more and more people.

Could the Government ramping up their vaccination programme change your place in the queue?

Vaccine queue calculator questions

The Vaccine Queue Calculator asks a series of questions, such as your age, if you are a frontline worker and if you live in a care home or work in one.

It recommends if you are pregnant (or plan to be in the next three months) you could have either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine where available.

On their website, it says the results are worked out based on the Government's 12-point priority list and the vaccination rate achieved over the last seven days.

The tool can also calculate your place in the queue in custom mode, which allows you to enter your own vaccination rate per week.

The website highlights it bases its results on the assumption 75 per cent of the UK's population will accept the jab - the figure achieved for comparable vaccination programmes.

What happens after you answer the questions?

The calculator gives you a time range of when you might expect to be called in for the vaccine.

This is usually quite a rough estimate - perhaps of around a month or more.

Boris Johnson has pledged to offer a first dose to every adult in the UK by the end of July.

But, thousands of people are still searching for the calculator online, even if it only offers an approximate idea of vaccine timings.

Not an official calculator

According to the Evening Standard, the calculator is independent and not connected to the NHS or the vaccine rollout programme.

Omni Calculator claims to have "the most unique, crazy, knock-your-socks-off calculators on the web".

The public can use it to work out itching questions from how many years of your life you can save by picking a bike over a car to their cooking calculators.
