To not vaccinate a section of society because they are going to die anyway is discrimination. Plenty old folks recover from serious illness and continue to enjoy life, why shouldn't they get the vaccine first if they are considered the most vulnerable.
People who are seriously ill or are on certain medications won't get vaccinated, after that, it's personal choice if they want the jab. The whole reason for vaccination is to reduce the pressure on the NHS, same as the flu jab. The side effect is that it saves lives too. Maybe thats a bit blunt, but its true. The reason for lockdown now is to stop younger folk spreading it to older generations, whether that be by meeting or living in a multi generational house. Once those older people have been vaccinated, they younger folks can get on with life, so I think its the right approach |

I don't think permanent enhanced shielding is the answer either tbh. BUT I don't know if my 'solution' would be possible, given the law and such. My mother in law went into a carehome short term in July...and says, he two weeks she was there, there were 3 residents attempting suicide, and near all of them (residents, not the suicidal ones)mentioned they were depressed as **** with not being able to see people. Back then, I decided the 'close them off from the world for their own good' was...cruelty. And since then have thought there HAS to be a way where they could sign some disclaimer, removing wrongdoing from the home they are in, and see their families? I mean, a significant amount of those people who were in with my mother in law, are probably actually dead now, and were never allowed to see their families :S

I mean, a huge proportion of those people are now vaccinated, yet still theres talk of bloody May? And the goalposts shift yet again to 'all over 18s in the country to be vaccinated'

IF it was as you say I would be behind it tbh. But thats what it appeared to be, then shifted to 'all over 18s' which seems, again quite pointless given stats of illness in younger people say...the VAST majority are not at risk. So...lessen the risk of those higher risk, and leave the rest to take chances, would be the ideal for me tbh :S
I am confused about the second jab thing, last I read, it seemed the longer gap between jabs, the more effective (we were amazing, for doing that by mistake..I read!!!)., But now its claimed, 6 weeks is the longest it should be between?

Tell that to my slowly-collapsing desk chair, I've been parked on this damn computer all day since last March .
... ... and then I clock off work and stay on it voluntarily playing games or posting on here... so I can't really complain too much I guess. |

I have actually been trialling (in my head, no other way! haha)...doing it by profession,...via work basically. Then moving onto those out of work for whatever reason. I am sure that would fall foul of some laws though. As does most..

From what I've seen, the vaccine rollout has been very well organized.
I'm so impressed!

Did anyone watch the panorama documentary highlighting all the misinformation and fear mongering , it was a good program calling out all the BS conspiracy claims.
I'm always glad and relieved to hear when people have taken the vaccine , especially the vulnerable people. |

I vaguely recall in the first few days of the vaccinations that a couple of people had bad reactions to the jab but 15 million vaccinations later I’ve heard of no other severe reactions?!? Seems kinda odd ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I think a handful of people who carry epipens for bad allergies had a reaction, hence why people have to sit for 15 minutes in the waiting area after the Pfizer vac, there is no requirement to do this after the AZ vaccine

Meanwhile, he wants to have it..I wonder if hes going to be able to sign something saying he understands its a risk, but still wants it. I cant see they would deny it alltogether, but also unsre if this would cover them if the worst did happen..

They revised the guidance and epipens carriers can’t get any vaccine
