My Dad gets his at a stadium this Saturday. I'd prefer my mum to have it. Us almost infecting her almost broke me.
 
Both my parents have had theirs so I’m much happier now. I was hoping to get one by March due to asthma but it looks more like they are profiling for severe asthma cases only. So I’ll be on the last group. Hopefully it does stay on track and it happens in May/June rather than September
 
My dad due on Sunday and I actually got a bit emotional when he told us he was getting it for some reason. It just feels like we're GETTING SOMEWHERE.
 
My mum got the Oxford vaccine today - very last minute. She was called and told there was one spare in the surgery and to come get it!

Of course she thinks that nobody but her is REALLY at risk so she should have had the all-singing all-dancing Pfizer one, but it’ll do. :eyes:

Is Johnny Mercer a bad MP?

Ignoring that he's a Tory, he's a former soldier who served in Afghanistan. He proudly states that he got into politics because he wanted to reduce the size of the welfare state and has persistently voted in favour of reducing spending on benefits. He wants stricter rules on asylum applications and stronger enforcement of immigration laws. He's in favour of the state having the right to snoop on people's communications. He wants to reduce taxes on the wealthy, banks and other corporations. He has always voted against laws to prevent or reduce climate change. He votes against laws promoting equality and human rights. Inevitably, he's a big fan of Brexit.

Yeah, he's a very bad MP.
 
My mum got her first jab yesterday. Glad to have one thing to feel slightly less anxious about :)

Would bang.
 
I still can't get over the fact that I have to have a minimum of two tests a week to ensure I'm not spreading the disease at work, but am not eligible to have the vaccine at any time soon at all... It's completely bonkers to me that they think we are 'front line' enough to need to test that frequently, but not to be vaccinated.

its a fucking disgrace is what it is, and another example of how Tories see our public service people. Desperate to keep the schools open for the economy, but not a care for the thousands of people who care for the kids every day.
 
I am interested to know if there is any other occupation that has to test but hasn't been at least put on the list for vaccination. I know social workers are on the list. I saw a wedding and funeral registrar on my facebook post that she's regarded as 'front line' so has been given her vaccine... I'm like... sorry? Those are limited to like 10 people? I have to see hundreds of people in close proximity every day. :confused:

I think they're making up as they go along. A mate of mine who works in IT for the council (site visits, not helpdesk) got vaccinated last week.

Have vaccine, will jab.
 
I think the thing about the 'wedding and funeral registrars' is there's probably only a few thousand in the country, whereas teachers (and other school staff) are over a million. So they're like 'well we can stick a thousand registrars in no problem, but a million teachers is going to delay things by a few days...

It is not a good look though. America have placed teachers on the '1b' list, which without knowing anything about the system, sounds pretty good to me... :D

Depends on the state, like everything. My friend is a teacher, and she was told she probably won’t get her until the summer. I suspect 1A, 1B, and 1C were chosen because it sounds nicer than telling people they are in tier 1, 2, and 3
 
My mum has been asked to book hers now but the nearest centre is 20 miles away in Norwich and they are currently only offering 8am appointments! :manson:
