Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms UK Vaccinations now available to all over 60s

I had a chat with one of the NHS Group running the centre in Salisbury.
They are working through the 60s and expect to be finished by mid March when toe 50 to 60 group will be called.
The rate is governed by availability of vaccine, he said that with unlimited vaccine there is injecting capacity to get everyone over 18 done by the end of April.

Either way I am not complaining. There is a growing sense of relief as I head to 3 weeks post the first jab which is Sat.

Could well be. Belt and Braces system perhaps?
An hour after booking the first and second jabs via the web link I received an SMS from my surgery to book at the local vacc centre at the fire station. So now my first jab is early this afternoon and I will cancel the one at Malvern. I'll leave the second appointment in place until I know I can book a second local one via my surgery.

SWMBO got a phone call last Friday inviting her for her jab - Appointment is this Saturday at our local GP's facilities

She is 59 in April

She said "I'm surprised you haven't recieved a call yet"

I took great delight in telling her "Its in date order and your older than me..........."

My doctor said the stitches can come out in a fortnight .................

not the same in Wales, nothing for under 64 year olds as yet.......tick tock tick tock....

Just been to my GP’s this morning for my Hormone Therapy injection. Because we have had our first COVID jab (6 weeks ago) I asked what the news and schedule for our second jams was. I was advised it’s very different all over the U.K. and some practices in our area (Solihull, West Midlands) are well into 2nd jabs but my practice won’t even start 2nd jabs until the week after next. So different for us all I understand.

Yes MIL went first & she is now 5 weeks after jab 1. We will hit 3 weeks on Sat. I presume the promised increased in injections in March is to start the second jabs.

Hi John

I think it’s so important to get at least one jab in as many arms as possible and I have no problem waiting for the second especially as the news is so good on the effectiveness of just one jab. My neighbour (seriously in the ‘know’ with what’s really going on) tells me to chill it’s all going well and nothing to worry about.

Yesterday the Wales First Minister explained how vaccine allocation was done. The Barnet formula was the basis. This meant that Wales received a volume that matched the demography of the population resulting in a bigger allocation to match the relative higher proportion of groups 1-4. He went on to say that allocation would fall slightly as the proportion changed. Not a problem though. It is just a function of targeting the vulnerable groups. Second jabs will go ahead as expected which is built into the allocation/supply.
The UK vaccine development/roll out is a major success. Far better than the other issues that have seemed to be less than well run. Another good thing is the supply to poorer countries. It would be immoral to not help them. It is a global pandemic and needs this global solution to get on top of the virus.

Agreed Sospan. We can for once show compassion & pass on the excess
