Josy1953 Posted March 4, 2021 #5651 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I have been lucky on my shifts as a vaccination steward I have only met nice people who have just been happy to be getting their jabs. I have been unlucky with the rain though. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted March 4, 2021 #5652 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I’m sad to hear of poor behaviour by those attending some vaccination centres. I must say the car park, pelican crossing, check-in and queue marshals at our local centre all seem content and are certainly very helpful. We always say Hi as we pass & sometimes a couple of sentences of conversation - the weather etc The centre only seems operational about half the week now. Supply issues? The national vaxx figures aren’t as high as they have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not the people who decide if someone should have a vaccination or not. There is a whole process around that and its decided well before they sit down in front of me to get jabbed. The only thing we are checking is that the person I am about to vaccinate is who they say they are based on their demographics. We don't check the validity of them getting the vaccination. That role is someone elses. Late to the party as always!!!!! I agree 100% with this post ,I couldn't have written it better myself. I am not aware of any scams The over 80's/70's are much more appreciative than the younger groups, and more fun. Still running "light" this week on vaccine but told it should pick up by 15th March and have a reliable supply from then onwards. Good week to have a holiday!!! except the weather. Highlight of the week so far........ a tip run😁 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted March 4, 2021 #5654 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Vaccine supply will need to pick up significantly won’t it, to cover the second doses coming due, plus the 60s and then 50s coming to start their course Did I hear that either Germany or France is adopting the 12 week gap, as well as accepting the AZ vaccine for 65+?

Yes, Germany is adopting the 12 week approach, and accepting that 65+ can have it. Just as well, as they have over one million doses waiting to be used.

lincslady Posted March 5, 2021 #5658 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just what is, I hope, a final report on our vaccination on Wednesday. Husband no after effects apart from extra long sleep at night; me a slightly sore arm when I use it, a bit better today, and feeling pretty seedy and useless yesterday, but much better this morning. Thank you all so much for your sympathy and interest; it makes such a difference to feel you have support, even though I don't know any of you personally. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seem to take delight in applying the letter not spirit of the agreements. But I'd agree we just don't know how to play the game, instead of being up front we should just have removed our inspectors again for safety reasons , and learn the wrong colour ink trick on car and wine imports. By being honest about the frustrations we get the reputation of being untrustworthy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
