I think your info seems good about mid march signalling a big ramp up. Deliberately used ramp up in the hope it annoys whoever was annoyed by it Yeah the Scottish numbers aren’t 100% accurate and they’re a couple of weeks out of date but even still it’s clear that a ramp up is coming. I continue to believe all adults will be offered a vaccine far earlier than the end of July, probably around the end of May or start of June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad said he’s done it but wasn’t sure the link he used ?! Don’t know what situation is down south but all I was told when I was jagged (jabbed) was that I would be sent a letter of an appointment for the second dose.

I cant tell myself but let me know if anyone manages it on here! Just tried now and looks like the service is currently down 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only medical professionals who are hard to replace - a massive chunk of NHS staff are in supporting roles. And most of them have limited options of alternative employment (the medical ones). The long story is short - I am right. Don't worry. Anti Vax morons have no place in a modern health care setting. If we are all so easily replaceable next time you need the nhs for anything just ask your mates to sort it all for you in thr comfort of your own home 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I continue to believe all adults will be offered a vaccine far earlier than the end of July, probably around the end of May or start of June According to my Facebook feeds from NHS Scotland regions they have just started the any age group with underlying health conditions, so hearing about 55 year olds booking in England makes me feel a bit anxious. Why is Scotland behind England in the plan? The distribution is supposed to be prorated by population after all. So is the take up lower in England or is the Scottish population older and unhealthier? Or is it just regional variations? At this rate my little sister will be getting her jab a month before I do. I know it is good for everyone, but I'm worried that Scotland will be lagging behind the rest of the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate needles. Have go into Chester for it anyway, it will probably be the first time I leave my small village this year and if last year is anything to go by the weather will be good by then, so would be rude not to!

If it's anything like the seasonal flu jab it's more like the Star Trek jabs. I didn't have even notice there was a needle. Love the idea of a beer garden.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toilet Duck Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) 38 minutes ago, zahidf said: Oxford seems to be doing better in the real world than it was in the trials That’s not entirely true as those that got the vaccine in the trials as it is currently being used (with the longer gap) did very well. It was the shorter gap that led to the lower apparent efficacy (and that observation from the trials is what led to the current guidance for use). Protection from hospitalisation and severe disease was 100% in the trials, but slightly lower (as you would expect) in real world use. Still doing great though! edit: I would say though that here, we’ve been picking through the data from the trials etc with a fine tooth comb, so we could see how good the OX/AZ vaccine really was...if press coverage was all you were going on, you’d be forgiven for thinking it wasn’t great and is now fantastic!

danmarks Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 You also know the support staff dont grow overnight I'm sure. This isn't about the vaccine btw but maybe being told 99percent of people i work with are replaceable and have no skills or knowledge is in itself an idiotic comment.

Just people out of the nhs have skills and abilities to replace the handful of absolute fuck knuckles who won't take the vaccine. Welcome to the real world.

You clearly have no understanding on how the NHS works then, do you not think the support staff have specialist skills, they support doctors and clinicians and we wouldn’t be who we are without them. So no there not easily replaceable and without them the NHS would be a much different and worse state of affairs.
