Not that I'm bothered . A few more months isn't going to make a lot of difference.Based on your profile, there are between 6,029,525 and 9,926,645 people in front of you in the queue for a COVID vaccine across the UK.
Given a vaccination rate of 1,000,000 a week and an uptake of 70.6%, you should expect to receive your vaccine between 29/01/2021 and 25/02/2021.

Roomie was offered the vaccine yesterday. She's a nurse. To get it, she has to make an appointment some time in January at a different hospital 60 miles away. She told them not to bother.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Our Glorious Dictator Nero Newsolini today issued his plans for who gets the vaccine. Fucker based it on skin color. If you're white, you get it last. Apparently the reason for this is that he considers blacks & hispanics too fucking stupid to follow health/lockdown *suggestions*

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Fily just had a message from a colleague. Her brother has just had a third positive test. I guess they wanted to be sure as he'd already had it back in March. He's a consultant in one of the big central London hospitals. Her mother is waiting for test results as she's showing symptoms - not great as her father is recovering from several emergency heart operations. And, as icing on the Christmas cake, one of her friends (from socially distanced dog walking) has tested positive and is now struggling to breathe.
And we (her & parents too) are out in sleepy, not badly affected, West Berkshire.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
I attempted to clean the back of my own eyeballs in the name of Covid testing today.
I probably wouldn't have bothered, I've only got a mild fever, cough and aches, but Mrs D was collared by the app on the same day so I thought I probably should. She went out for and extended period for the the first time in weeks, as soon as she did she got a self isolate flag from the app!
Fortunately booking the test was a piece of piss and it was 5 mins from my house. Only saw one other "patient" the whole time I was there.

Sore arm and a headache for about 36 hours or so but after that she was fine. Well, fine as ever.

Yeah, it won’t cause mutation until Bill Gates and the US switch on the HARRP antenna, activating the nearest 5G mast....

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
She had the second dose last Sunday. Side effects were probably a little worse than for the first one. Headache and a fever but all gone by tuesday.
(and for some reason she always gets great 5G reception now. )

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
A month after the vaccines showed up in Califailure they have managed to vaccinate fewer than 2.5% of the population.

I'd have though the promise of needles and syringes would have folk queuing for miles in C/F.

Don’t worry. Biden will be in charge soon - he’ll get it up and running tout suit.

You need 2 injections to immunise a person, spaced 3 weeks apart, so after the initial 3 weeks of injecting for no net result the productivity of the system (injections administered vs. immunisation achieved) is 0.5.
200,000 injections a day gives you 100,000 immunised people per day. 1 million is 10 days and we need, it appears, somewhere between 60 and 75% of the population immunised to achieve herd immunity. Worst case this means 50 million people need to be immune, but the vaccines appear to have 90% - or thereabouts - efficacy so you need to immunise 55 million or thereabouts to be sure. 550 days of non-stop vaccination at 200,000 injections per day on average to achieve this.
While the test centres do have a high throughput of tests bare in mind they are doing very little other than acting as hand out/collection points for the tests - which are largely self administered - and paperwork and that the test centres do not process the samples. The processing of the samples is done in industrial laboratories and is highly automated and done in large batches, not something you can do when administering injections.
We can't be in a situation where immunisation comes at the expense of all else, in terms of health service provision. We're already in the position where COVID has impacted upon the NHS's ability to do its day job and lives have/will be lost - to what extent is unclear - as a result. So can the existing infrastructure be asked to accommodate such a massive undertaking or does new need to be created?
The problem I foresee, although I may well be wrong, is that vaccination is going to rely on several different "brands" of vaccine and everyone will have to be given the correct pair of injections and, from the limited exposure I've had to NHS IT and record integrity/stability through my wife's past jobs as a hospice nurse, I don't think the existing NHS medical record system is up to administering 152 million new records/entries in a way that absolutely 100% guarantees everyone gets the correct injection at the correct time. So I can't see every GP surgery being capable of administering vaccinations because the record keeping/access won't allow it. The vaccination process will rely on a different IT system I would presume.
But of course I could be talking out of my hoop and the government has got it all planned and under control and it'll be a cinch....
Record keeping could be as simple as marking the vaccine card with the correct vaccine type and scribbling the date if the next appointment ...it doesn’t need to be rocket science although I expect some one will spring for an all singing database that will cost millions and be ready the day after the virus has been eliminated ..
