My mum's over 80 - she has heard nothing yet.... i noticed last week we had a large amount of letters from the nhs at the start of the week and none towards the end, i was delivering what i think were jab appointment invites, i expect the same this week, i would stay alert and keep an eye on others of similar status as mistakes do happen, hopefully this thread might even help as a benchmark

Filmcrewshrew1’s wifey gets hers 9.30am tomm morning. She’s NHS working with 0-4 years olds for speech therapy. At 41 I wonder if she could be one of the youngest owe would know to have had the jab. I did think to say to her that I wish she this excited when my little prick is about to go inside her.....but that would be crude obviously

My son who's 18 gets his on Friday. He has Downs Syndrome. My wife has had both of hers, she's a community para medic, I guess I'll have to wait a few months yet.

92 yr old ma in law had hers Thursday!!
93 yr old sister in law's ma has had 2 jabs.
A and E daughter has had 2 jabs.
39 yr old social worker neighbour has had one.
Friend's elderly parents in Brum have had one of them.
Maybe, the vaccination roll out could be a rare, but vital, success story!! Fingers crossed.

My wife works at a special needs school, where staff can constantly get punched or spat on etc, I’m a little annoyed staff who work in that environment haven’t been fast tracked to get their jabs earlier.
In better news though, my 100 year old grandad is due to receive his tomorrow.

Both my grandparents have and I'm expecting my parents to be in the next tranche of invitees. According to the vaccine calculator I'll be between July & September I'll hold my hands up and say I was sceptical about the government's roll out but the numbers are impressive. The only negative is a story I've heard from a few different people (family & work colleagues) where people have turned up at Shrewsbury hospital for their second jab, to be met by a big queue and then someone shouting down the line that anyone there for a second jab should go home and rearrange their appointment. In the instances I was told about, they had family driving them in so it wasn't the end of the world but when the message is stay at home then obviously it isnt great. Hopefully teething problems On a different note, I saw this yesterday and really surprised me. It will be interesting to see the reaction to this, I've seen lots of anger over the last few months about people who would refuse vaccines, name & shame them, hold them on a register, back of the queue for NHS etc. Would people be comfortable with their relatives being looked after by someone who refuses to take the vaccine? www.independent.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus-vaccine-care-homes-staff-refuse-antivaxxers-b1788616.html

What with all the Covid around football, it's somewhat reassuring that Roland should have had an invite by now.

At least someone not vaccinated is going to be keeping their guard up for their own safety. Those looking after you are going to be doing all the ppe and precautions anyway because they could pass the virus from an infected person to you or your relatives just on their clothing,pens, etc. it would seem.

I’d like to ask the question, can care home workers currently refuse the flue vaccine

It should currently be considered to only protect the recipient anyway.

I would be a bit concerned if I was over eighty and not yet had my invite bearing in mind that the BBC news headlines today are that we are now moving onto the next phase of over 70s getting their invites this week. Mistakes do happen so at what point do over eighties who have not had the invite start to chase up their doctors which is something we are being urged not to do.

My mother in law had hers a couple of weeks ago and my parents have theirs today. All are over 80 and all in Cheshire. It's also encouraging that they've had them at their local health centres and not had to travel miles for them.
We made a dreadful and expensive botch of test and trace and PPE because we took it out of the hands of the people best equipped to deliver it and put it into the hands of friends of ministers, Tory MPs and party donors.
Thank goodness we seem to have got it right by letting the NHS administer the vaccine. However, the vaccinator recruitment programme leaves a lot to be desired. My son spent many hours going through the initial application process (20 different courses and tests in the end, I think it was) and still hasn't heard anything. He tried to contact them last week but gave up after being left on hold a few times for 30 minutes or more, to be told finally that he'd be called straight back - he wasn't. It's a real shame that, when resources are so stretched, help is called for and someone really wants to help, the connection isn't made and it all comes to nothing.

Hope you're ok.

If the speed of vaccine roll-out is as bad as some posters on this thread have been claiming, I'm amazed to hear that anyone has been near a needle.

( nothing to do with me ) this is his last week as hes given his notice, he's is starting a new role as security from next week at the nec i think, its going to be one of the large vaccine centres opening i'm not sure i've heard a figure of how many vaccines are being produced each week which kind of halts the debate going much further until we know that one thing i've noticed is the jabs are gaining speed and should get faster and faster each week
