+1, I see there are 46,000 health care pro’s on sick leave around the country, I take it they’ve not be vax’d which I thought would be the #1 priority of Govt🤷🏻♂️

Good to see that pharmacists have started to give the vaccine now. This can only help speed up the process.

Interesting information here about the numbers of over 80s/health workers vaccinated by region.
select ‘view’ and then the right hand tab at the top of the spreadsheet.

It would be even better if they gave an indication of how many in each age group there were so a comparison could be drawn.

OH was talking to our Practice Manager yesterday, turns out our area has not been getting the amounts of vaccine they should have
Also turns out our elderly neighbours are on a list to be done at home by the community team. OH suggested someone might like to tell them as they are fretting about being forgotten.
I think they are hoping to get some vaccine soon, they have she said managed to make a start on the over 80s.
There has been questions asked about Tayside so hopefully we should see improvements soon.

There was someone, a woman, didn't catch who or profession, on Radio4 Today programme talking about hugging your grandchildren after the vaccine. She seemed to intimate it was a definite no no after 1 dose and the second 🙁 as the herd immunity hoped for with the vaccine rollout wont be strong enough.......... I think it will be a long time before we approach anything as it used to be.
No the subject of who gets jabbed in what order I do think nurses, police, fire, teachers, child carers etc who are in the frontline deserve to be given an early dose. They've had very little in the way of PPE, only the very basic stuff if any, and certainty haven't been overly rewarded in monetary terms. But that's my personal opinion.

I think it's been made clear, most recently by our esteemed Health Secretary (now self isolating) at yesterday's press conference, that it is still the intention to work through the 9 well publicised groups first, and then, after the 50+ group have been completed, teachers, police, shop workers etc will be given priority. Seems sensible to me to work through the groups with greatest fatality rates up to now and greatest potential for stretching the NHS beyond its limits first.
Having said that, I wonder how consistent the sense of urgency about the vaccination programme actually is. In our town, one of the largest in the county, they are only vaccinating on 2 days a week. I've written to our MP to ask why that is, lack of staff or insufficient supply. I won't hold my breath waiting for a response though.

Schools are still open and most of the facilities in use ,as has been proved in Essex it was children spreaders that caused the big apike in Basildon
I think anyone in front line Education also in schools the cleaning staff , and Policeing should have the same priority as front line NHS staff

Yes one of my daughters is a frontline nurse currently sticking a needle into some ones arm a hundred or so times per day, yes she does have some PPE but only the basic kind, so any further protection she can get e.g. the vaccine is a bonus
p.s. she has already had the vaccine
