National News Vaccine - have you had yours?

[Eaststanding]

To be politically correct!

Way to ruin a gag ML....

Just seen this.
And is this not taking the P**s

There are between 9-12 "shots" to a "raw" bottle.
It is then diluted which is where further variance occurs.

By the end of the day you could have 2 or 3 bottles left that have to be used and no patients in the queue.

Who is going to get there quickly?
A few folk from a local large employer ..................or Doris who needs patient transport/a carer to help?

That`s it.

It’s disgusting

It`s the real world.

Doris will still get her jab.

The Chesterfield staff were nearby as the ground will become a vaccine hub and is currently a testing centre.

From the BBC article......

"They were only contacted after the surgery had exhausted all other viable options. Those involved were keen that these vaccines were not wasted, which would have been the case had they not received them"

What happens if/when it happens at the Kassam?

It`s not like they pushed into a queue.

Derbyshire should have looked at other possibilities. My niece is a sister at chesterfield hospital and apparently the staff aren’t happy

Didn't realise you had Wiltshire ancestry.....

I’m the only vote for “Nah thanks!” Lol

If I’m forced to take it I won’t fight it. But I’m not volunteering anytime soon.

As someone who is "at risk", immune system shot away due to Cancer ( Radiotherapy treatment ) may I ask why you would refuse?

Can`t see why? Vaccine is there for them to book.

Staff Covid Vaccination - Book your Appointment :: Chesterfield Royal Hospital

With new recent guidance instructing organisations to prioritise people working in health organisations, we are now in a position to roll out the vaccine to all staff.

Every drop of vaccine needs to be used , in the great scheme of things reported it seems that the GP practice did everything they’d could

 

[MC Yellow]

No justification to waste precious vaccine.

If this was the final option, I don’t have any particular issue.

 

[Eaststanding]

If they exhausted all other options I’d rather see the spare vaccines be used than thrown away. It also means less people in front of you when your turn comes. Mate told me a Bucks. vaccination centre did the same at the end of a day by contacting the local police station and offering them to any available officers.

Teachers the educational kind should have been invited

 

[tonto]

Im getting mine today obviously hoping for the ox one. A month ahead of schedule!

Teachers the educational kind should have been invited

Do you know they weren't?

 

[Cass63]

Teachers can’t really just walk out of school on mass, I thought it was a good way of using valuable vaccine and not throwing it away.

As a side note, having the Oxford (vaccine) name mentioned across the globe must help Tiger with his dream of global brand domination!

The Swiss have officially said theyre not using the Oxford /AZ vaccine ....unusual for a country that traditionally stays neutral !

 

[mooro]

Makes perfect sense to have a number of local employers on standby to send abunch of people down to use up the excess.
Ideally have the employer preselect potential recipients based on the 9 priority groups and/or front line exposure (police beat officers, school staff etc) but absolutely right to use every jab

Both parents jabbed yesterday at the Barton centre.

Having read various posts on here and elsewhere I mentioned to my father who wasn’t due to be jabbed, that he was happy to be contacted later in the day should a slot become free and others had declined and that he would be happily make the journey to stop that potentially being wasted. Happy people on all fronts.

May be worthwhile those who are taking loved ones etc to mention the same.
