What should be of concern is that they are giving next to no doses of the vaccine to GP's now and directing 99% of the supply to vaccination centres, which is a real bummer for those that can't travel easily to one of these centres |

my GP was getting 600+ doses a week, and now they get less than 100. With that supply its just not feasible to do much from GP's

I don't think there ARE any of the centres here...like, I live in the middle of a lot of fields and space with bugger all besides the one 'strip' of a couple of shops/takeaways, and the doctors. When we first moved here, the doctors didn't exist either, was really just this little tiny village in the middle of nowhere

I heard they were scaling back GPs doing 1st dose vaccines so they could concentrate on 2nd doses as the people getting close to 2nd doses are all older and so prefer to visit their GP. Most people now.eligible are more able to travel to the big vacc centres

I really think they should be forgetting the 'all adults in the UK plan' for NOW. And focussing more on the more vulnerable again with their second doses. Then focus on other groups.

Of course 50% of all UK adults vaccinated!!! makes a better headline than '20% of the most vulnerable in the country vaccinated fully' though.

The problem with that comes though if they start wanting to implement vaccine passports type things. If they want to start opening the economy they need as many people with some protection.

Also, as I see it, making it complulsary for most areas of everyday life...is basically forcing people to get it. And going down the road of removing consent for medical procedures (even something as generally harmless as a vaccine) is a very slippery slope.

I had an appointment cancelled and it was rather distressing .. I’d rather not have one than be offered one to see it cancelled. It’s presumably unavoidable but .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Agree with that, the first dose give the most protection, there is a very small bump of protection with the second dose, and I think it also keeps people at home while waiting for it, while if they had their second dose they might think oh vey I am off!

I wonder how much protection I’ve got at the moment !
I had my first Pfizer jab 8 days ago ( Tues evening- 23/2/21 ) and I’m due to return to full time work this Friday !! I don’t think there’s any real cover until day 21 and on Friday I will have 10 days cover Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 03-03-2021 at 12:35 PM. |

Our surgery is classed as a local hub, they are giving jabs to vulnerable and older patients from other surgeries in the surrounding villages and towns.
Whilst doing this they have obviously had to cut back on other services. My docs rang me up to make an appointment to go for my jab, before I received the actual letter, I cheekily asked if they could do hubby at the same time as he is my carer. Fantastic service from start to finish, cones were removed so hubby could park next to the door, then I was asked if I would like to sit in the car for the 15 minutes they like you to stay after the jab, rather than in the marquee. Nurse at the door kept an eye on us as she was checking off people from her list letting them in for jabs. The NHS are doing an amazing job. |
