Covid Vaccination

[KGarrad]

Just read this on local news.
IoM is sticking to the 3 week gap between vaccinations.

315 vaccinations were done yesterday - day 1 of our program.

My dad (88) has got his appointment for his first jab on Saturday

This was mentioned about France on a programme this morning:

'The world's most vaccine-sceptical nation had only administered around 430 of the Pfizer/BioNTech jab as of Sunday afternoon, a week after vaccinations began, according to French data website CovidTracker.'

We can’t be too complacent , we got the AstraZeneca 8 days ago and are only just starting now.

Personally I would be quite happy to stick my arm out of the car window in tes...s car park and be done by an intelligent 10 year old.   (Since the alternative is death, sorry to be blunt)

I don’t understand either, I was given an appointment for  my vaccination December 29 th and the follow up on January 19 th.
Both were cancelled, by phone and I was to be informed when it would actually happen.
Seemingly there was a problem with the vaccine , ,
A neighbour who works for Bury Council said the new vaccine would be at our Dr’s surgeries on Jan 21 st .
I am in my 84 th year with a heart condition so thought I would be not too far down the line for getting vaccinated but I will give it a few more days ,not sure how long the surgery was closed and it goes against the grain to mither the staff but from past experience they are often woefully lax as regards repeat blood tests due etc etc ,repeat prescriptions .Then conversely they can be so helpful and obliging .
Perhaps it is a personality thing.
So I might phone at the end of the week if I have heard nothing .

That makes two of us then, viktoria, we only need one more and we can set up a committee.

We will contemplate and cogitate
Discuss, debate and delegate

We’re noted for our oratory, but mostly for obscurity
 pontificate, procrastinate

Publish our findings to the nation
For their erudite contemplation

And finally when all is lost, we send the bill in for the cost

I think the powers that  be should have organised diabetics, who are experienced in injecting themselves daily, to help get the vaccination numbers down.

Whilst I'm posting - did anyone else hear about the large batch of vaccine phials that we lost due to the fridge they were stored in breaking down? How ancient was the fridge?

Todays figures

Horrendous - but then for some people this is all just a "myth". 

Not an excuse, but we all know that the death figures are higher on Tuesdays!
