You should then get your second dose by between 25/10/2021 and 9/6/2022. 😒 Surely you can do better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how a supermarket might be able to go fulfil them ... will see if I can find the info ... might be in a car park or something In the article I saw they were planning on using some of the existing store space by removing some of the clothing section.

Ayrshire Chris Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Does this calculator take into account the probability that round the clock vaccinations might be available.? Personally I would take a jag in the arse with a rusty needle at three in the morning from a doctor with a guide dog if it meant immunity from Covid. Late feb for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just head to the SEC .... im sure its on offer ...... in all seriousness though ... (yes it does happen ) you can adjust it to change the numbers of doses given ... approximation now is 1.6 million per week ... but that is ramping up every day ... so your jab date may well creep closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkychick2007 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Obviously not the same but we set up a sexual health and well being clinic drop in centre for young people at a local tesco it worked really well!! We were lucky to use the phamarcy rooms!! Alot of rural areas have mobile units set up in carparks in the supermarkets maybe they are thinking along those line using sterile storage containers or those mobile hub units!!! supermarkets are very accessible!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghandi Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 I've just had an email from my GP for my vaccine , I chose my birthday, 22nd Jan. I'm 59 but have an underlying health condition. Hasn't stopped me working though, I need the money! Possibly this is why I have mine so quickly as they have me on the shielding list. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were told it would be 10 weeks until their next appointment. Total so far is 3.3 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth_pig Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 I had my first vaccine this Wednesday and am very grateful, my colleague and girlfriend both had it and felt very unwell which was unfortunate but both feeling fine now, 24 hours of fever and flu symptoms, it does say this on the slip they give you of possible side effects, 1 in 10 may feel a bit ropey short term. I don’t want to put anyone off just recalling what I know, I myself has zero side effects apart from a numb arm the day after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I have had our first one and felt very lethargic for 2/3 days and had a achey arm. Same with a number of colleagues. I would suggest not planning anything too strenuous for the day after just in case. x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started a new job not so long ago after a big career life change due to covid ( long story, probably felt be a lot of poeple ), and can't afford, ironically , to go off sick becuase of a vaccine! 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuel Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 My Nan received hers on Friday. She’s 87 and sofa-bound for the past two years following a stroke. As a family, great news. Objectively though, it should’ve gone to someone else like a nurse, carer, teacher, vulnerable younger person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obiginnaw Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I've just had another crack at the queue calculator (i'm 23 not expecting anything anytime soon of course), but the wait time since last week has gone down considerably, should be expecting my first dose between July and September, and it was around october to december last week, so the process is speeding up, fantastic news !

Are you sure that's correct? There is only approximately 2, 871, 400 vaccines so far. Just under 500,000 are receiving it weekly. I'm 34 and I'm not expecting it soon. He was 13m to receive by end of Feb even though at the current rate that would equal 5.2m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Unexpectedly, I had my first vaccine yesterday. I work for the NHS but not frontline. But they had a large delivery of vaccines that needed using in 48 hours and couldn't get enough patients in at such short notice so just spread the word among the workforce. It was almost identical to the flu shot for me - slight sting and tiny tender point on my arm but no other symptoms. Does that mean I can go the Glasto? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting to be called in late February as well but on Monday I received this text Dear Mr Carson, This message has been sent on behalf of Rainbow Practice. You have been invited to book your FIRST COVID-19 vaccination only - and a link to a NHS booking site ' I knew it was genuine as soon as I saw this - Rainbow Practice is in the same building as Evergreen Surgery. I was given the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine yesterday. Have not a clue why they asked me as I am only 67 { Tier 5 } They are doing about 5,600 jabs per week - very well organised and did not spot any guide dog's I was lucky as Evergreen Surgery is only 5 minuets walk from where I live. so have faith it may come quicker than you expect. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsonjack Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hmm.....I wonder if they have updated the calcs to take account of the impact of 2nd doses being administered to the timing of first doses? There may only be 20m ahead of me for first dose, and at current rates that would be about 7.6 weeks, but if you take the 2nd dose cohort into account it's probably a lot more than 20m, pushing my first dose date further back.

I’ve waiting on a call for start date ... but just wondered if everyone doing the volunteering gets the spare vaccine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
