If her immune system is compromised she could well be in Group 4, which is the same group as those aged 70-74. DW is 65 on Monday and will move from group 7 to 5. She went on to the booking site via the app this morning and was able to book both appointments. If anyone is in group 5 worth a try. Hello magazines phone is busy, so they missed out🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also, as Wowzz has pointed out, wholly incorrect. The UK would have had exactly the same powers to carry out the vaccination policy it has pursued whether or not a member of the EU. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardennais Posted February 14, 2021 #4745 Share Posted February 14, 2021 It would clarify things for everybody if these so called celebrities just said something like ‘I’ve had the jab because I have underlying conditions’ to avoid any misunderstanding. No need to provide any more details. We also mentioned Hugh Bonneville a few days ago in addition to Ruth Langford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Peterson Posted February 14, 2021 #4746 Share Posted February 14, 2021 1 hour ago, nosapphire said: I saw this morning (I'll try and find it again) that the UK is top of the list for the first jab - and bottom for full vaccination of 2 jabs. How you regard that as a result depends on whether you feel that half-a-jab is better than none, or whether there should have been a slower rollout in order to give 2 jabs. I'm in the half-a-jab is better camp, but it really, really annoys me when so much of the media (and the Gov themselves at time) keep going on about it as if the full dose has been given, not just the 1st (which I am still waiting for - 65 plus group, no letter, no contact). The UK delayed second jab policy is unavoidable because our Covid situation is so bad, threatening to completely knock out the NHS. Given that, it’s a necessary, but desperate, measure. It will save the NHS from complete collapse, which is obviously good. The downside, though, is that because we’re not vaccinating in the way that the manufacturers, Pfizer in particular, have approved, there will be a potentially significant number of people who aren’t protected and will contract Covid. How badly remains to be seen, but at least there’ll still be an NHS waiting for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted February 14, 2021 #4749 Share Posted February 14, 2021 1 hour ago, yorkshirephil said: I was never happy with the plan to detract from the protocol to give the vaccine at 13 weeks instead of 3. However with evidence over the last few weeks I think the right decision was made, deaths in over 80s has fallen twice as fast as deaths in over 60s since mid Jan, this is a clear indication that the people vaccinated in Dec/early Jan have benefitted from the vaccine and more lives have been saved overall. Can someone remind me of approx when we will be seeing the hospitals/deaths reducing because of the vaccine rollout, given that the current lockdown must be having a considerable effect as well. I think JVT gave some sort of timeline but can't remember what he said. It would be great to know the vaccine is doing its job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
