COVID Vaccine !

[mjr]

You've seemed intent on finding fault with the system from the word go. How about taking a step back and look at the work that's been done by those folk. And appreciate the effort they've made since this kicked off.

I've always credited the excellent people working in the centres and it's very dodgy of you to imply otherwise.

I've also not gone looking for faults. The ones I've posted have slapped me in the face during normal use: in this case, looking up where the centres are so I could promote them on local social network groups.

My son had his first jab in Wales. He has now finished uni and is back home in England. He doesn't have a date for a second jab.
Sure he could go to a "grab a jab" - but he needs the Pfizer - any ideas how to proceed?

They are doing Pfizer at some sites, where do you live, why not look it up?

Which vaccines are available at a site is listed on the "find a walk-in vaccination centre" website, but that's so broken I'd phone to verify before travelling far.

What is listed? We don't where we are talking about, so how can you possibly know whether or not is broken?

[Edit: Shifting this here (from main thread) because it's about vaccines)]
Because Craig had a struggle with that, here's the site: find-a-walk-in-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-site See if you can make it work for you, Craig.
Doesn't seem broken now, to me (about 15 minutes after @mjr reported he was 'unable'. The second doses available at out local centre are only AZ for over 40s, as you'd expect. Few 'normal' (ie not JCVI 2/4/6) under 40s had their first dose before 20 April.

I refer you to my post on the other thread. I haven't struggled with anything by the way.

I assert you struggled (motivation deficit, perhaps) to find the site that @mjr was referring to, to check whether his 'fail' experience could be replicated.

2nd jab done and dusted last night. Arms a bit more sore this time around. Otherwise I’m ok apart from my already dodgy knee and back

No, I simply gave the link to the events site that are happening this weekend.

No motivation deficit or anything, just pointing something out. I didn't try and link to anything, which was deliberate. @mjr brought the other site in to it not me 🤷‍♂️

I have my 2nd Pfizer booked for Thursday.

Vaccine map, shows % of adults who have had 1st and 2nd doses by area, quite interesting (I don't think it's been posted before but apologies if it has). https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map/vaccinations

Striking, if unsurprising.

Is there any correlation between the lighter blue areas on both maps and where the bulk of the current daily infections are occuring I wonder?

I posted earlier in this thread at #3974 about Mrs B having difficulties in getting her NHS record updated as her first jab was not properly recorded.
An update. It was finally resolved a couple of days ago; almost a month after it was put into the hands of the GP's staff.
Mrs B dropped off a thank you card yesterday and in response, the member of staff concerned rang her to say the card had made her day. She added, possibly unwisely, that there had been numerous problems with the centre where both Mrs B and I had received our vaccinations and resolving them was becoming too time consuming, to the extent that the GP surgery was no longer dealing with corrections. If contacted they were simply passing on a telephone number of someone who apparently overseas the correction service.

2nd Pfizer jab done, had anti vax people handing out leaflets at the exit!!! 🤣

Interesting decision by the EU to not recognise any AZ jabs made in India. This will cause a bit of chaos as it is on batch numbers, and you won't know which batches affected as a patient.

What are they playing at now eh?

Simple in ways.
Like many medications, identical in every way, bar the brand name its licensed under, Covishield hasn't been tested let alone approved for use in Europe.

It's not something that has just been sprung on them.


Batch numbers* are:
4120Z001, 4120Z002 and 4120Z003.

*And should be on the card they gave you, as well as on your records.

As I understand it, the EU hasn't made a decision to not approve the Indian made AV vaccine, it's just that this factory has not supplied to EU so there has been no reason for them to consider approval.

The affected batch numbers are known and your NHS app (or vacc card) will tell you which batch you have received.
