That Google "I am not a robot" box is offensive to people with audio and visual impairment, calling them robots. It stinks to high heaven for such ableism to be in the vaccination system.

Not unless she’s in a high risk group herself, one of the page groups being prioritised (still 80+) or working for the frontline NHS?
Presumably she’s minimising risk to herself and her patients by use of the correct PPE (as advised by her professional body?), eg mask, gloves, apron, eyewear and her patients are wearing a mask too and sanitising?

My son too. 1 day a week teaching brass in schools, 4 days a week providing close personal care in their own homes for the elderly and disabled many over 90.
Yes, doing everything as best she can.

Sure all ok if she’s minimising her risk to contract and transmit to her vulnerable patients.
Assuming she’s a private practitioner and not NHS, She could contact her professional body to ask about vaccination?

Guidance ref Covid here @screenman (she’s a podiatrist?)
Overriding seems to be if there’s a potential risk to a patient, non urgent appointments should be postponed

Non urgent is a hard one as the oldies, up to 103 years old, need regular servicing as many call it. We know she is doing as much as possible and will carry on doing so, we have always been sticklers for the safety side of things in the business.
It was just me thinking out aloud, I suppose dentist, private physio's etc all fall into the same thing, certainly not trying to queue jump.
My wifes a Pod, her governing body the HCPC says she needs the vaccine, been trying to organise that but is not straight forward. As for practising in lockdown. Pods can work through it however its only for emergency treatments only, NOTHING routine ! That is of course here in the UK.
I should add shes private only, and they appear to have missed these ones out, if she was NHS, she`d be in the queue now.

In the papers today it is reported the Government will lift restrictions after 15 million have been vaccinated. I think this is likely because the hospital admissions and deaths from the remaining 10 million will be tolerable they will be collateral damage. Those 10 million are people who are more likely to need to go to work.
Tabloid newspapers for you.
The Sun and The Daily Mail said February. Because the Oxford vaccine is speculated to be about to get approval and would speed up shots massively. 2 shots for 15 million people by the end of February is quite a challenge. Words like 'normal' were used. I don't think the tier system's going to get abolished in February, that's tabloid newspapers and politicians being mischievous to big people up.
not disputing that, but could you link to your source report(s)
