I think they might make them easily accessible in the Summer once they are down to the lower tiers on the ladder of age ranges.
But just imagine the press stories about a granny being robbed as she is 'forced' to go to a jab centre at 3 am.
Yeah, can't see it for the oldest people. It might be possible for some of the lower bands, letting people book for a crazy o'clock slot.
It seems workable to run long hours though - 6 am to midnight seems okay to me.
We don't live in the 1940's, and in any case you have no idea of my "generation".
It's impractical I've at least addressed some of the reasons. Shall we get a 3am taxi for the 80 year old to get a jab, from the overly tired jabber, are you paying or is the 80 year old.
Some old folks at my daughters place have said they'll refuse it. Equally, I wonder where care homes stand with the DNR residents on this.I noticed Boris said the jab will be offered to the 13.5 million rather than given to the 13.5 million.
Suppose there are going to be some that can't take it and some that won't take it.
It was amusing in context. But you are right about the headline punctuation.I feel like I’m about to go into a coma lol, thanks for the heads up on the typo.
Lol. Really?Outside of animal husbandry that may have caused it. And a bit of heavy handed secrecy at the start what do they need to be held to account for?
ironically we could be accused of exactly the same stuff with the new strain. Spotted months ago, told no one. And even when we identified it we didn’t lock down to the good of the world.
I’m sure there will be plenty of people out there calling for our heads soon.
Not for old people it can't, and it doesn't need to be, when it get down to young folk, maybe it will be, be were not through the old and infirm yet, anyway you carry on being deluded, I'm out.if it’s an end to a way out this pandemic. Then yes I will pay for an old dear to get a taxi if she can’t afford it to get her jab done at 4am.
24 hour vaccination programme could be achieved if the will is there.

I hope he's right but he was making claims for tier 2 a few weeks back based off his app data. ZOE is a great app for data, but his interpretations aren't flawless
Then we could vaccinate the old people during the day and allow younger people or clinically vulnerable but able bodded people night slots.Not for old people it can't, and it doesn't need to be, when it get down to young folk, maybe it will be, be were not through the old and infirm yet, anyway you carry on being deluded, I'm out.
Think we had a poll already..Then we could vaccinate the old people during the day and allow younger people or clinically vulnerable but able bodded people night slots.
I think if it was offered people would get it. Start a pole and see just the people on here. If they are closed at night then opening through the night wouldn't detract from the main vaccination programme it would only move it along.
Yeah you could, the health workers on duty overnight, fine with that.Surely you could just organise it so younger people (healthcare workers etc) get the jab at the odd hours of the night - could even factor it into their night shifts - and let the old folk go during the day
If you read the article, they're not part of the initial base-load. They will be introduced to the mix later. Getting the logistics right is critical.I’ll guess that it’s because they can give out multiple, multi million pound contracts to do the job to people/ organisations that have never done it before that strangely have close ties to prominent Tory MPs/ donors.
For previous case studies see Brexit ferries and PPE contracts.
Uh, yes? Fucking obviously? If they had a vaccine waiting for you tomorrow at 4:35 AM you're telling me you would not go?It's a good sound bite but it's not practical, if you are asked to turn up for an appointment at 0435 would you go ? You might, but many would just say no, and for many legitimate reasons.
Hindsight is a word hidden behind by 90%+ of failures, it's generally a shithouse word used by shithouses to try and cover for being a shithouse.20-20 hindsight is wonderful. The CMO's met first thing on Monday morning and raised the level to 5. Sturgeon declared lockdiwn immediately. Boris did 5 hours later.
You have to access the effect of measures before locking down.
Admittedly I am a glass half empty type but March is only two months away and I find it really hard to believe that things will have improved that much by then. I haven't been keeping up with developments as honestly it is depressing me to think about the pandemic, but is the outlook really that good in your view? I had thought we were looking at summer best case scenario for improved quality of life, and into next year to get this thing completely under control, under the thinking that it's never fully going away.We have vaccinated more than the rest of Europe combined. Just need to keep going. Everyone behaving will help and a well communicated ramped up vaccination drive. If 12 million have had it allready and 1 million plus vaccinated - we could be at 25 percent immunity. This increases every single hour we are vaccinating. The r has to drop at some point so we will get through this.
I know I am a happy clapper but I so confident we will be in a far better place by March.
Stay untra positive / soon be on the piss and on the way to City!!!
