Scully Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 One of the lads in the beaters wagon today said he has an appointment for his first jab, and a second three weeks later. Apparently you’re good to go seven days after that. Can’t wait for mine. Anyone got a date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I saw this. I think it’s a bit of fun rather than an accurate estimate. https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/vaccine-queue-uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 My father in law had the first one yesterday, no sign of any problems or side effects so by mid January we will be less worried about bringing it home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 An 81 year old in OH’s restaurant, told my OH yesterday he’d just had his first one. The bloke on the shoot today is only 70, with no underlying conditions, so I thought things were really moving. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I know more people who have had the jab than have had the virus! There are c. 9mln people over 70 in the U.K. with the rate we are going and with it ramping up all of them will be done by end of January and as they are the most impacted that’s job done. If all we are left with is younger people getting infected, many of whom will be asymptomatic we should be well on our way back to normality by then.

ordnance Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I think it will be slow, until the Oxford AstraZeneca etc come on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberisle Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 My wife had the first one last week, she works for the NHS and they had a batch ready and at the end of the day they had 38 doses left but only 20 more people booked in , so they just went round the staff and asked who wanted it so she was one of the 18 who got the rest of the batch, i will have to wait a good few months before i get mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Bumped into a woman I know whilst walking the dog today. She is 50 something and works as a doctors receptionist 1 1/2 hours a week (yes one and a half). She said she had her first jab on Christmas eve. Glad to see we are prioritising the vaccine for those who need it the most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is 56 and has been offered the vaccine; makes perfect sense to me. Docs clinics need receptionists as well as cleaners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I’ve had the first jab, no issues apart from a sore arm the next day. Booked in for the second dose on 10th jan. I’ve several colleagues that have long COVID, I don’t know anyone close to me that have died. But seeing COVID patients everyday, and seeing the fear in their eyes, Tells me I don’t want COVID.

Or part time staff who work significant hours. But sorry somebody who works 1 1/2 hours a week isn’t indispensable and hours could be made up by somebody else easily.

Vince Green Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 My stepdaughter and her boyfriend have both had theirs. My friend Bill and his wife got theirs and my mother has had a letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 My daughter had hers last week (Doctor). We live out in the sticks and the local surgery is administering them and has asked that people do not call to find out what is happening and just wait. Simply not good enough. Pressure is starting to build we want to know hw many are getting them and when we can expect a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
