Covid - news and views

We were told right back in early January that our Opticians had submitted their staff details to the relevant people for vaccination and all were done in the first tranche. Off there tomorrow ☺️

Our son and his wife who both work with severely disabled children have had their first injections, and they both are under 50. That's in the West Midlands.

 The care workers who come to our next door neighbour had their jab a  couple of weeks ago, and they are not in the first 4 tranches by age.

That's really good to hear Nellie, I hope our daughter gets a vaccine soon so they are all a lot safer. She normally works with her little group as a community project and often has to collect one or two of them and take them home too.

Presumably all classed as frontline NHS workers.  Makes sense.

Our son's jab was sanctioned by his LEA as he teaches at a school for severely handicapped children, whereas the DIL came under the NHS system as she is a nurse/carer for a disabled boy.

How about this for "jumping the queue?" as told to me this morning by a lady who  had hers 

On monday? a very large Hospital in Bedfordshire had got though their list for the day and had numerous doses of the phyzer vacine still to use or be destroyed that day,

A surgeon sent a text to all her Guild? Members offering them what they had left on a first come basis ,one of which was the lady i met this morning

No this comes under social care and education etc.

On well, today's the day! Off to get my jab soon.. It's a 40 mile round trip, I will have to visit a filling station for the first time since well before Christmas. So much to remember, what side is the filler cap, what happens when I put the car in 5th gear, etc. Wish me luck folks ( not the jab, got no worries on that score).
