Covid Vaccine - Temporarily locked

There's a problem just now beacuse of Covid and Royal Mail and I've read there may be delays to the vaccination letters going out in some areas. There's a long list of places affected, one near us and many others. It's on the BBC and no doubt other web sites.

Your obverse too young to fit in the age brackets that gets the early doses.

Council/agency care staff, who visit our next door neighbour every day, have been receiving their jabs here over the weekend.

My sister had her second jab last Thursday. Our GPS have banded together and provide the staff for the Sport Centre vaccination hub on a rota. Friend from the dog walking circle (in her late 70s) was contacted by her daughter (one of the nurses there) yesterday offering her a jab because they had some left over at the end of the day. Better use them up than waste them.
On a more sober note another dog walking pal lost her son-in-law to Covid yesterday. He was in a care home because of dementa (in his late 50s). Had been ill since before Christmas.

We at 76 and 78 have been between estimated for jabs end of this month early Feb
Daughter said today she had been to one of the "super vacins hubs" Stevenage NHS and carers had their own entrance, and staff were saying people were just turning up expecting a jab without being advised and also others although given a slot were turning up much earlier expecting to be seen ,which was causing most of the queues

Can say a lot that's no so good about where we live but think that they are well in front of most other places as far as the vaccination program goes. The hospital here too has been highlighted for poor practices but I've had nothing but great service from them up to now.

Were in one if them. Just received anniversary cards posted 2 full weeks ago, some 1st class!, some Christmas cards, a few end of year statements, a GP Practice questionnaire, not from the practice, should be fun 😉, plus circulars a good couple of weeks worth normally. Strange thing we've been having royal mail parcels.
I wish them all better. Still hearing of more cases, friends of friends mainly (happy for it to stay that way !) With married folk having very different symptoms and effects......... Just goes to show it's not standard at all. Apparently we now have asymptomatic testing in the city.
Hopefully folk will be contacted by phone or text re vaccinations - at least in the troublesome areas. Someone will be doing joined up thinking?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

On the day I got my first jab my OH was just three days short of being in the same group. I asked if she could go with me but was told no she's just unlucky.
She's now old enough so fingers crossed she'll get a call soon. We're booked to go away after Easter and 12 weeks will fall within that period if she doesn't get her first jab soon.

I am not overly concerned about not hearing anything for me and OH as we are not until group 5 so expecting that to be March time.
Its the fact that there is nothing coming out of our practice at all, are they going to be doing them themselves, are they going to be joining other practices, do we have to go to a hub in Perth.
Surely by now they should have that kind of information. It's been over a month since the first vaccine was given, they have had enough time to work out the basics.
Our 95 year old neighbours should have been done by now and are getting a bit fed up seeing/hearing about much younger folk getting the vaccine on TV. They are both living independently though one has a carer coming in a couple of times a day as she is blind.
I have relatives in Worksop who have all had their first jab but they are over 80 so I would say they are on track.

"We're booked to go away after Easter and 12 weeks will fall within that period"
join the club, a lot of people who normally go overthere April time, will be biting their finger nails, but getting the jab in the UK will not be the only problem, much will depend on the state of countries such as France and Spain .

give wee Bernie a call
, my daughter is a vaxer and she says that in areas where only the Phizer vaccine is available there are some delays due to the logistics of storing it at -70, the Oxford one which is now being widely distributed is much easier to manage. Lightly populated areas are the ones suffering most, well you will live in trhe outback 
, loved it when we lived there and still miss it.0 -

Just heard today that the next vaccination centre from us, 8 mls away, which is central for the surrounding villages, does not start it's vaccination programme until Friday, which make us grateful for where we live.

Thanks Kj,
not a lot of info for our area though, just says "various GP practices" along with Perth Ice ring tbc, and PRI, doesn't give which GP practices for instance.
Although looking at the map it could be that our GP practice might be doing them. I just wish they would put something on their website.

I've got a regular injection to book in for a fortnight's time. When I go for it, I shall no doubt be touting for information about the Covid vaccine locally..
My daughter (mid-30's) had her first vaccine a few weeks back. She's a nurse but not really front-line these days (she runs and delivers training for doctors and nurses). She just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Apparently, they'd just come to the end of the list for the day and had some left over which otherwise would have been binned.... she 'volunteered'.... it would have been a shame to waste it.

Looks like I am going to be waiting until end of May for my first jab. End of August for second one.
OH got a letter this morning, still classed as extremely vulnerable, so hopefully he will get his first by mid February. He’s been offered free Vitamin D tablets as well. But it seems to involve signing away your privacy rights to whichever money grabbing Vitamin D providing contractor Govt decides has donated enough to be given contract without scrutiny........ Luckily for us we have a full pot, about 60p from Aldi.....

The way things are going in Perth I wouldn't even hazard a guess at when we can expect our first vaccine. It really is very frustrating that there has been no information what so ever coming out of our health board other than Dundee GP practices are ahead of the game.
Today we heard/read that 2 more care homes have had outbreaks despite having had their first vaccinations. One of the care homes has sadly lost a resident to Covid just a few days after testing positive.
My BIL has been getting free vitamin D for months now, not sure where it comes from.
On STV news tonight we heard that if they start to run out of vaccine then those that have had their first vaccination will take priority to get their 2nd one.

It would be a waste really not to give second dose to those who have had first, bit of a gamble doing it as they are. Going well in Yorkshire according to Guardian report, but other areas not so well.
Tragic about care homes, they are just so vulnerable.0 -
It would be if it was getting close to the 12 week time frame.,
According to todays figures for Scotland there has been 191,965 people vaccinated so far (4.3% or roughly 1 in 23 people) with 2,990 of them receiving there second dose ( 0.1% or roughly 1 in 1,483) .
It would appear that some are still on the 2 doses as this number goes up a little bit each day.
I wonder if its those on the front line that are still getting the 2 doses, it would make sense for those working on the Covid wards to get as much protection as they can.
Just saw on the late news that our age group should (if it all goes well) be getting our jab at the beginning of March.
