A subjective assessment then?
Not being funny Tom but I'll wait until some hard numbers are issued until I take a view.

Yes this is bothering me too. At the moment I’m finding it quite easy to keep 2m away from older people as they are mostly as scared of me as I am of them, we both try to give way. But once they have the vaccine will they still be so eager to keep their distance ? Based on current forecasts most of us won’t be getting the protection of the second jag until well into summer or even autumn.
Then you will be waiting some time as they won't publish any partly due to them not knowing how many need one.
This will be an ever growing problem as more get one and call for things to change. Once the big business boys join in the government up to now has been quick to follow them. They already are quick to push back when it's made clear it wont be that quick. Even if everyone in the first 2 rounds get a jab. A very large part of the population will still need a level of protection.

I thought you said that they were nowhere near being on target in your initial post - implying that someone, somewhere has set a target. Is there a target or not?
I would've also thought that the NHS had quantified the number of frontline staff eligible for an early dose vaccine?

Not sure i see what's wrong with that to be honest spokey. Folks want to live again. From a swift read there is an implication that many of those punters are calculating on having had two jabs by the time their oddysey of sun sangria and sex rolls round. Or if heading off by national express maybe a fish and chip supper and a bit of fizz.

That’s the problem. Just because they’ve had the 2 jabs it doesn’t mean that they should be allowed to ‘start living’ again. Because the rest of us will still be at risk.

A lot of trusts have done their patient facing staff and are now onto vaccinating their non-clinical and support staff.

Keep your distance then is surely the advice?
What do you think the "rules" should be for aged funsters who have had two jabs?

That’s part of the advice yes but the powers that be will have to think very carefully about how this is all going to work, its going to be a constantly changing picture as the different sets of people get the different jabs over the course of the summer.

Yesterday was running in a "drop in" mode without appointments. I was just surprised as all the forms require an NHS payroll number.

Yes, you'd think the construction staff would be contractors.

Well i can't disagree with that reasonable statement.
Clearly there may still be ever changing travel restrictions depending on destination. Folks will have to take that risk when booking.
Skegness may be worth a punt.
The only target set is the February one as the NHS define it so much is now provided by private sector we are very much part of the magically government narrative "frontline". What @midlife has seen is due to the government opening up the program a few days ago to include all contractors.Yet former NHS care staff who have been moved to private sector delivering face to face care are left with no word or access to the vaccine. The vaccine is suppose to be given based on risk but now has sadly turned into the next numbers game being lead by the top with little idea of the needs of the bottom.
