Both vaccines need to be given in two doses which are now set to be given 12 weeks apart in a bid to give more people their first shot sooner.
The new online calculator predicts your likely position in the queue after asking a series of questions.
The omni calculator asks for your age, whether you live or work in a care home, are pregnant or plan to be in the next three months and if you're a frontline health or social worker, classed as extremely vulnerable or have an underlying health condition.

Explaining that this is only a predicted estimate, the omni calculator site reads: "We also indicate how long it might be before you get the vaccine, based on the vaccination rate.
"By default, we base these figures on a vaccination rate of 1 million vaccinations a week and a default uptake rate of 70.6%.
"As more data on the actual vaccination rate is released, we may revise this default value."
