Covid Vaccination

[Mike in Cumbria]

My son and his partner (he is an A&E nurse and she works in a GP surgery) now have COVID - both seemed to have picked it up a day or two after receiving their first jabs.

Best wishes to both of them, Mike.

Thank you. They're both young and healthy, so statistically they should be OK, but it's still a worry. They're both pretty knocked out by it, and our grandson is a lively 16 month old boy.

Snippett from text:
"... and the rate of vaccinations has jumped to nearly 300,000 a day from about 300,000 a week in December. Some regions have been vaccinating people so fast that they've been told to slow down so that London and other cities can catch up."

Keep your spirits up, folk. You are doing better than we in Canada are.

Cheers,
Westoe

Why do London and other cities need to catch up? 

Hope you soon get yours Westoe

I do hope all goes well with them, Mike.  I was thinking about the little boy - is it 16 months already!

What a worry for you Mike. All good wishes to them both for a quick recovery.

[Mike in Cumbria]

Thanks both.
I'm sure they'll be OK, I'll let you know though.

Why do London and other cities need to catch up? 

To forestall the more-efficient volunteer-run provincial vaccination sites from requisitioning unused doses from the cities?

I'm not holding my breath about getting my jab anytime soon, despite being both a senior with chronic health issues and an essential worker. It will probably be July, August or September, perhaps even later since Canada isn't getting all the doses already bought because of retooling at the manufacturer's plant.

No use complaining. We just have to soldier on.

Cheers,
Westoe
