In one hospital stay I was nearly given a DOUBLE dose ( two injections ) of Warfarin - luckily I queried the second one !!

Whilst on another occasion an inexperienced nurse gave me EIGHT Piriton tablets with a glass of water ... luckily I knew to only take TWO ... but she didn’t !!

She’d mistakenly given me a whole days supply !!

This was ten years ago when the health service was NOT as stretched or underfunded.

How can you run down an entire profession due to two incidents years apart?...

How silly. It's like saying you don't ride public transport because a driver was at fault in an accident once...

Well one was potentially life threatening and the other the 8 piriton tablets would have probably put me to sleep for quite some time .. not ideal when I was in for breathing problems !!

So pardon me for being slightly cautious...

Again they were 2 incidents years apart.. a little perspective?

Does that colour your view of the millions of medical treatments carried out by nurses or just inoculations?

Both incidents were in the space of two months actually... and yes it has made me cautious of the ‘little things’ like administering medicine..

they are now doing trials combining the russian vaccine with the Astra zeneca one to see if they can improve it. Thats not going to increase peoples confidence in getting vaccinated, i wouldnt trust anything coming out of Russia

OK 2 incidents 10 yes ago. I'm not saying it wasn't important or downplaying the severity of what could have happened, however when you tar a whole profession due to a bad experience it is a tad extreme.

I certainly didn’t intend to ‘tar’ anyone .... just explained what happened to me on two occasions when the NHS was in a far better state and not overwhelmed ...


This kind of thing ..

the mass vaccination of people combined with the very particular way the vaccine has to be handled makes this all very challenging for anyone. People are being vaccinated now, if it has some teething problems, so what ... peoples lives are being saved by the thousands

I don't necessarily think you're wrong, not due to staff competence but due to the sheer scale of vaccination efforts.

However, I don't think there's huge cause for alarm - any errors are likely to result in ineffective vaccination rather than actual physical harm. The only real errors I can see occurring are clinical in the vaccines not being stored properly (which will just make them not work, it won't make them harmful) and administrative in people missing the second dose or getting it after too long a gap which again would just lessen effectiveness.

If the vaccines themselves are not harmful, then I don't think there's huge risk of harm being caused by staff error.

Again my point is people make more mistakes when they are overwhelmed/ overworked / understaffed ..

Inexperienced you said...
A degree not enough for you to administer a vaccine?

Not if they’re not used to doing it ...

I’ve had nurses who struggled to take blood before now ..

They’re talking about ‘training’ people to give the injections due to the sheer numbers involved
