Exactly. BlueHammer asked what we should be asking at the Covid press conferences; I'd ask what lessons we've learnt about accessibility of vaccination centres and how we could collectively do more to help people get there safely.I'm in my early 30's and mine has gone from August 3 weeks ago to May on current vaccination numbers. The CEO of AZ probably has it right that by late March we should have around half of the population vaccinated.
The thing is though it's difficult vaccinating the elderly and vulnerable because many of these people reside in care homes and they can't travel etc. So really the numbers they've achieved so far is incredible when you consider that.
In later phases younger people are far more mobile and will be able to drive or get transport to vaccination centres and this will rapidly increase rates. Personally if I was the government I'd be making public transport free, or at least hospital car parking free for anyone attending a vaccination appointment.
On Friday 23rd - 491,970 people had their 1st vaccination.
Yesterday the figure was 279,757?
Kind of depends on the weather. About 250k vaccinations on Sunday and Monday had to be rescheduled due to the snow and ice.ssshhh don’t tell cleavers!!
I have been informed we will pass 700k in one day this week. Let’s hope so.
Wow. I hope they get you fixed up soon. Best wishes.Brother in law left hospital yesterday, an hour after I’ve been admitted. Shortness of breath, can’t string 7 words together. Had X-rays, saline, steroids, liquid paracetamol, and on 6L of oxygen. Oxygen levels 89-90
Getting information regarding the vaccination centre was an issue for us. My mum and dad had their jab last weekend. Mum is 82 and has terminal cancer. We wanted to know 1/ can she be vaccinated in the car 2/if she has to go in are there wheelchairs 3/how many ‘carers” can be with them etc etc. We couldn’t get the information from anywhere. We rang the venue who told us completely different information from what her GP surgery told us. We had to go preparing for every eventuality.Exactly.

NB I'm a volunteer driver so take a lot of old folk to hospital to appointments; making it really easy to park is important to me.
Hope you’re ok mate. How many days in are you?Brother in law left hospital yesterday, an hour after I’ve been admitted. Shortness of breath, can’t string 7 words together. Had X-rays, saline, steroids, liquid paracetamol, and on 6L of oxygen. Oxygen levels 89-90
