Borders, Glasgow and Lanarkshire have stayed at a releatively high level since the Autumn and been a bit stubborn compared to the rest of Scotland, Does seem to be starting to shift now though, so hopefully will head down.What part of Scotland? My daughter and family live in Glasgow G12 area near the Botanical Gardens, they've been in the highest risk area all through this can't understand why, the only contact they have with other people is when they go to the shop, but they have their main shop delivered
After musing about how sore someone's arm was after 537 vaccinations yesterday I got even more worried about where they were putting a ramp up next month. New ways of dealing with this pandemic are getting very free thinking.537 vaccinations yesterday and there is going to be a big ramp up in March. Cases will be very low by then and pressure to really open up will be ramping up to the extent people will start breaking rules more.
Quite a bit higher actually :)537 vaccinations yesterday and there is going to be a big ramp up in March. Cases will be very low by then and pressure to really open up will be ramping up to the extent people will start breaking rules more.
Corby has been one of the worst areas in the country, it’s not helped by local firms bussing in workers from London and other areas and putting them up in hotels, Iforce distribution for example are bringing nearly 200 workers weekly. . The local council are aware of this but are unable to stop it. They have taken it up with our MP but as yet nothing is happening to stop it.Definitely a concern about vaccine take-up. Case creep as much an issue in very non-diverse Corby/Rutland/Kesteven areas.
Thanks, that makes sense. Quite a few distribution centres along the A14 corridor into Northants and Warwickshire, where cases also high. Easily forgotten how many folk still have to go to offices or warehouses to do the jobs the rest of us rely on.Corby has been one of the worst areas in the country, it’s not helped by local firms bussing in workers from London and other areas and putting them up in hotels, Iforce distribution for example are bringing nearly 200 workers weekly. .

at this rate the under 50s could be getting jabs in march..its been a bloody fantastic effortThe vaccination pace is changing the goal posts on this very quickly and making the decision to send kids back to school look a good idea.
I know there are pros & cons but holding schools until Easter would make so much sense.at this rate the under 50s could be getting jabs in march..its been a bloody fantastic effort
Vaccination rollout is unbelievably good but 2nd doses are looming and the 50’s to 60’s age group is a large group. I’m 55 and it still says April 14th for meat this rate the under 50s could be getting jabs in march..its been a bloody fantastic effort
Mine was predicted as mid February but got the text call before the end of January.Vaccination rollout is unbelievably good but 2nd doses are looming and the 50’s to 60’s age group is a large group. I’m 55 and it still says April 14th for me

How do we find out how if we’re eligible for the vaccine or not? I’m 50 and in Gorton but not heard anything so far. Will I just get a text off my GP surgery?All over 50s eligible in Salford now and my wife, also 55, is booked in on Monday. All over 50s nationally who wants one will be done before the end of March. Areas that are steaming ahead like Salford will be well into the 40-49 group before second shots really kick in. March is going to be a big month for numbers and I can see 16 million plus shots being delivered.
By April we should be getting more Pfizer, the first supplies of Moderna and possibly even the Johnson & Johnson single shot vaccine too. I'm very bullish on this but the two things the government have got absolutely right now are the test and trace set up and the vaccination roll out. People can criticise many aspects of policy during the course of the pandemic but right now we are doing all the right things and we will be on the other side by summer.

I’m not overly bothered if I don’t get it right now - it’s only a few weeks since I had Covid - but don’t want to miss out completely.
Ok, cheers. I’ll have a look. I assumed that they contact us when we’re eligible but it sounds like we may have to do a bit of leg work ourselves. I’ve no issue with that and will get on it.Try to find your local NHS site and not the national one. I noticed on Thursday that the Salford one said 60+ on the main page but I inputted my wife's details and on the second page it said 50+ were eligible so we booked her in. She got her invitation letter today but another poster tried it and booked himself and his wife in next week and they haven't had a text or letter yet.
Thanks, for that, I posted in the vaccine thread asking similar, on the main NHS site it says 64+, I'll check locally, I'm 61, so maybe they are moving slower round here, Northwich.Try to find your local NHS site and not the national one.

Had a look on Tameside NHS site doesn't seem to list any criteria or even mention the vaccination programme. Guess some areas are a lot more proactive than othersTry to find your local NHS site and not the national one.
