I have a spread sheet on this so will be watching closely. I am in the category 70-74 and had predicted myself getting the vaccination at the earliest on 30th January and at the latest the 8th February. I then got a call last Saturday the 23rd January saying that I could have my first vaccination that day. I attended the Larkhill Centre in Timperley village at 3:15 pm and was back home by 3:40 pm having had to wait around afterwards for 15 minutes as I had driven there.

I have also booked my second vaccination online using the NHS web site for the 16th April, I have had no after effects whatsoever and the feeling of relieve is indescribable.

Half of the supplies intended for Yorkshire and Humber were redirected last week (reportedly) yet there was enough vaccine to offer the jab to over 70s and any adult who was shielding, in Leeds. Over 75s (possibly over 70s), with significant underlying health conditions in Manchester, could receive the vaccine last week.

The combination of the NHS (and wider Health Sector), the Army and the volunteers are making very good progress with distribution and giving out jabs. You might be eligible for your sooner than you think (even with a portion of vaccines redirected South.

Thank you that is reassuring. I guess it depends on where the ongoing EU battle goes. Though I expect most of the coming vaccinations will be the Oxford one as we seem to have the majso may not make much difference.

If you select yes to the unpaid carer option the date comes down a fair bit.

How does that work? If you're an unpaid carer nobody knows you are doing it so how can the timeframe shorten?

They do. I was an unpaid carer for many years until my income from my previous work declined to a level where I was able to claim carer's allowance. But there were still a great deal of checks and assessments and paperwork involved. Not to mention equipment loaned from the NHS and regular nurses visits.

I doubt they prioritise someone just saying they are a full time carer if there is no local medical awareness of this as there would be if it means what it is supposed to mean - not just my mum lives with me and I look after her when I am not at work or down the pub otherwise she looks after herself.

Oh and I just ticked that to see if it impacted my date and it didn't. Though as that date is only 2 weeks from now I guess that is not much of a surprise!

My eldest is currently poorly, has been so for a couple of weeks now.

He had (without a test) Covid very early in the pandemic in March and recovered at home. He was at a xmas party at my ex's with too many people at Boxing day where 3/4 of the guests have tested positive. He's been poorly for 3 weeks now showing all the Covid symptoms & has had 3 tests all negative.

Think he's got some sort of delayed long Covid, doctor's not sure whats wrong with him other than a viral infection & booked in for numerous tests at the moment.
