COVID Vaccine !

[Flick of the Elbow]

My 88 year old MIL here in Edinburgh still hasn’t been contacted for the first jag.
Scottish Govt not even close to hitting their targets so far. Doesn’t bode well.

Seems to be a bit down to luck what area you are in at the moment. Spoke to a lady yesterday that said she and her husband got theirs last week.

Given the number of older people I've heard and spoke to who see getting a vaccine as a ticket to do what they like.
The message is just not cutting though that it's not and won't be for some time.

"Midlands leads the way". Remind me: which is the party of the Mayor of the West Midlands? And of the Mayor of London?

any evidence for that charge?
Have you looked at the whole country for jabs related to ruling party?

On the plus side, unless there is serious misinformation afoot, credit where credit is due, I have the impression that the UK is doing pretty well in international comparisons on getting the jab done.

So you're suggesting that the political affiliation of the mayor influences the resoures to roll out the vaccination program?

Have you got any evidence whatsoever to back this up? I'd be fascinated to see it if you have

The "Midlands" is slightly bigger than Birmingham and Coventry!

Father in law had an appointment for his vaccination yesterday. Unfortunately it got cancelled because of the snow. Bit worried about him at the moment. He is very lethargic and down. He says he has a cold but is refusing to get a Covid test.

Sadly, I agree:

The figure are not the whole picture the roll out for health care works is a mess and no way on target. In the mean time the call for higher PPE use for all front-line staff has been turned down flat. So health care infections are going totally the wrong way not to forgetting the growing death numbers.

What are the vaccination target/actual numbers for frontline workers? Where is the blockage?

That's the issue they are not giving out that information. Everyone is suppose to get it as part of the first roll out so the February target.
Blockages are all over the place it's become bit of pot luck as to who get's one and who don't. Even in Hospitals plenty are still waiting with no word as to when. Away from Hospitals and GP's into the wider parts it's a total mess. Students in some placers on placements many who are now back working filling in staff gaps look like not getting anytime soon.

Here's the link on gov.uk which says they're going to help Andy Street and screw Sadiq Kahn... get real! The government isn't quite so incompetent to leave such a smoking gun lying around: Grayling is no longer a minister.

No. I've just noticed this looks like a second time recently where West Mids appears to be treated better than London. I'd like to see such an analysis.

Yes, it's both good compared to most (only Israel and UAE are going faster per head, excluded from the graph below because they are so high they make all the others difficult to read) and looking below-target.

How does anything in that post support what you said in #1054?

So that's No, you don't have any evidence at all. Just a wild conspiracy theory.
