I have already worked mine out, it is sometime in 2021.

Are you sure 🤔😉

11th February possibly for mine 

my mum not in a care home had hers Thursday and she seems ok with no early side affects 

however she was immensely irritated at the garden centre not having any seed potatoes 🙄🤔

My mum in her 80's lives in Burbage Leicestershire and has been offered a vaccine slot in Birmingham 35 miles away  

There seems no rhyme nor reason to some of the decisions made. As I’ve mentioned before a super fit 70 year old beater has been given a date ( albeit 40 miles away ) yet my 93 year old Godmother hasn’t received a date, nor her very fit and capable 80 year old partner. 🤷‍♂️
My Goddaughter is a specialist nurse in Newcastle ( nothing to do with Covid ) and had her first vaccine today, which does make sense however.

Postcode lottery timetable?

Two villages with combined practices, which are always on the ball. One health centre clinic is entirely devoted to the Vaccination. I was contacted for a flu jab and said I would prefer the COVID one. They gave me the direct number for the Vaccination clinic. . Got straight through and had an appointment for four days later. Family friends just over 80, had theirs just before Christmas.

Excellent service.

As you say maybe a postcode lottery.

Maybe some allocation differences linked to local Covid levels?

I think the age thing is all wrong personally. My parents are almost 70 and both have said to give it to the younger generation that are working. 
my girlfriend is still working as a teacher and is high risk. She should be having it and not a person that’s no longer working and can shelter away in a home.

its the younger generation passing it around so start there.

My wife gets hers tomorrow (teaches in a residential centre, 25 residents). Not a clue when I get mine (teach in a secondary school, 900 students). 

I’m not bemoaning the wife her jab, she needs it, but quite why teachers aren’t much higher in the queue is beyond me.

Not picking on you personally :) but I think this is a common misunderstanding.

Vaccination doesn't prevent infection; it's not a forcefield stopping the virus getting in to your body.  Vaccination just means your body's got a pre-loaded battle plan so it can start fighting off the virus straight away, because it isn't learning from scratch how to attack that particular virus.   Unless I'm behind the times, up until now medical experts have been saying that they are unsure as to whether a vaccinated person could still transmit the virus or not.  I wouldn't chance it by presuming a vaccinated person is unable to be infectious, therefore doing the youngsters first still leaves the vulnerable.... vulnerable.

Therefore it is illogical to "vaccinate the young so they can get on with their lives".  The whole point is to vaccinate according to the demographics; to prioritise the groups who are statistically most likely to die or become seriously ill.  The younger generation can still get on with their lives, unvaccinated, safe in the knowledge that it would be a 1 in several million shot if they were to snuff it from covid.

I get where your coming from 👍. My friend is a nurse on a children’s ward and she’s in tears watching them die or get seriously ill tho so would it help ? 
I’m also hearing of lots in their 30s-40s dying . 
 

id never thought about vaccines not stopping you catching tbh 👍😎

In your friend's case... presuming you mean she is working with children who have covid.... would it help if those children had been vaccinated?  Of course, they wouldn't be there in all likelihood if that's the case.  But unfortunately the nation-wide strategy is formulated from a statistical point of view.  It sounds very cold saying like this but she is witnessing a tiny minority of covid patients from the age group least likely to suffer the worst effects of the virus.  It's just that this is now her life at work.  Horrible to witness, I'm sure, I don't envy anyone in that sort of job 🤔
