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. Edited by BlueJay (31 Mar 2021 10.16pm)

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 |

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).

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.

Which neither I or my wife use. 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.

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.

There's nothing wise about accepting this treatment before it has finished its development trials. That's going to be in January 2023.
