I think it’s the ‘offering’ part, they offered it to every care home resident. 

It still doesn't reconcile with those comments

"Vic Rayner, the executive director of the National Care Forum, which represents not-for-profit care home providers, told Sky News this morning that just 27% of its member organisations had 70% or more of their staff vaccinated as of early last week, adding that access to doses was the main issue"

Why have 73% of care homes had such low vaccination numbers?

And her comments suggest that they haven't been offered it - "access to doses was the main issue"

If they really want to stamp out this South African variant then I think they need a local lockdown in Woking that is stricter than the national rules until everyone has been tested. Go hard, go early, and get back in line with the national rules ASAP

 

- Everyone must stay at home unless absolutely necessary. This means the closure of all workplaces that are not essential, and no outdoor exercise.

 

- Those who do need to leave home must wear a face covering at all times 

 

- One person from each household only can food shop

 

- Door to door testing 

 

- Any positive cases should be escorted to a quarantine facility 

I know people shouldn’t be travelling right now but Woking being a commuter hub is a concern.

If people have only been leaving the house to collect essentials and for their daily Woking then we don’t have too much to worry about.

I went there last week when it was freezing cold.

Never seen such a bunch of Woke snowflakes.

My partner's dad had Pfizer and was given an appointment for dose 2. My mum has AZ and was just told she would be contacted when it was time. Not sure if different for the vaccines or the areas? He was also a week or so earlier.

My Mum got pfizer but was not given an appointment for 2nd dose, was just told it would be in 12 weeks.

I'd say it's a bit inconsistent by area then? Sounds like most people are not being told when to come back so just have to hope they are on it with the secondaries.

Patel is waiting until the variant has fully taken hold and that's when she'll show who's in control.

The government are saying all RESIDENTS have been offered a vaccine, that report says STAFF vaccination levels are low.

D'oh. Thanks for being better at reading.

Heathrow queues right now are 2.5 hours long as they've employed very few staff to look at the forms and they've also arranged the queue so it's tightly packed.

Are they out of their minds?

I thought vaccination data was 48 hours behind? As in today's data would be Saturdays?

1st dose probably, 2nd dose probably not.

He hadn't had a vaccine at all because he was ill with pneumonia.

We would probably be going to restaurants and gigs, seeing our friends and families, going to work and taking our kids to school

Johnson: There's only one way to win a campaign: optimism, optimism and optimism.

Blackadder: You don't think inspired leadership and tactical ability has anything to do with it?

Johnson: No! It's all down to optimism!

Don’t look now but hospital deaths are down 43% on versus the previous Monday. I smell vaccines.
