The vaccination centres are focusing on 2nd doses for now and I think today the UK did more of them than first.

This made laugh Walthamstow very bravely opened a walk in centre for first jabs today and 2000 queued up. The staff and volunteers must have been overwhelmed and I suspect not every got one.

Still it just shows that people want to be vaccinated.

Most definitely. I think when push comes to shove, people would rather have the vaccine than the alternative.

I had my 2nd vaccine today 6 weeks after the first, I guess that's one of the perks of being a volunteer.

Perhaps I should have volunteered. I got an invite by letter ages ago, but the centre was miles away, and they couldn't do my wife at the same time, which meant 2 trips. Twice. The local surgery called and left a message, but we couldn't call back as it's closed to non urgent cases, and won't take bookings for the vaccine.

The whole set up is geared for 'smart' 'phones. Which neither I or my wife use.

 


Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

You're right that there are definitely issues with contacting people. I've known a few people without mobiles, who essentially ended up missing out, and then on the call, and eventually received a letter weeks later. All of those who ('wisely') decide to get vaccinated will I'm sure eventually manage to book in or get called up, but missing out for a few weeks due to miscommunication or not having access to a smartphone will no doubt have unfortunate consequences for some.

That said all in all, the NHS and volunteers have more than done us proud and I class it as a great achievement for our nation that so many people have been vaccinated, and just as importantly so many are willing to be (despite the negative AZ coverage and the like).

This must depend on your area, I received a letter advising to book and also a call from the doctors the same day. Luckily test centre is close and our doctors is open. No problem getting through on phone. The doctors are doing phone referral prior to making a personal appointment.

I concur regarding the NHS/Volunteers and achievement.

I did recommend that a while back.

I booked my neighbours appointment on my smart phone. I agree that it is difficult to do otherwise.

Yesterday at the surgery 2 youngish idiots turned up not for the vaccine but because they were sick with COVID symptoms. I pointed out that the the surgery does not do COVID testing and neither had an appointment that they should book a test online and DO NOT COME TO THE SURGERY IF YOU ARE SICK with COVID. Of course neither had a mobile phone nor a friend or family member who could help.

I gave them the number one of them came by bus so if we get a spike in Beckenham that's why.

Yup. Really well organised. But the Govt insisting booked second Pfizer jabs in February should be unbooked then rebooked later was deep folly.

New results from the Pfizer vaccine:

- 91.3% efficacy against Covid-19 up to 6 months after second dose.

- Vaccine was 100% effective in preventing COVID-19 cases in South Africa, where the B.1.351 lineage is prevalent.

That's great news on both counts.

There's nothing wise about accepting this treatment before it has finished its development trials. That's going to be in January 2023.
The emergency clause in the Coronavirus act 2020 that allows jabs to be carried out beforehand is the only reason they are already being rolled out.
Because all medical professionals have signed the oath, if you ask anyone of them "Is it safe?" they'll have to answer truthfully. And the truth is they don't know. Nobody does.
So anyone who's already had it, have taken part in a trial.
Anyone who hasn't yet should consider these two questions
1) Does it contain MRC-5 (aborted foetal tissue) ?
2)Is there a possibility of a latrogenic reaction? This is when multiple compounds contained in the "vaccine" react with each other. When inside human beings this has the potential to cause harm.
The answer to 1) is yes, it does.
And the answer to 2) is yes, there is.
