Off today to get my vaccine jab at local hospital, my idea was I wouldn't get to a game this season. Not now.

Good man. I know its important to keep politics off this board but as someone who works in the Pharmaceutical industry, namely for one of those involved in the vaccine project I am glad you're taking the sensible option. I hope you make it to a game soon.

Common sense shouldn't be political!

Interesting. I was an outpatient at St Georges last week and I walked past a vaccine clinic set up.

Do you mind if I ask - are you n a group identified as 'vulnerable'? Just wondering how this is all working as my in-laws in their 90s (but not out patients anywhere or in a care home) haven;t heard anything yet.

Flyingfish, yes I'm in that vulnerable group

Maybe contact their GP -

The priority list is as follows:

1)residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2)all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3)all those 75 years of age and over
4)all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals [footnote 1]
5)all those 65 years of age and over
6)all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7)all those 60 years of age and over
8)all those 55 years of age and over
9)all those 50 years of age and over

Ask the nurse if you can have it on the bottom, if you think it's going to hurt you, 'Carry On' fashion.

My wife and I are in category 5 and can't wait to get it. It's not just important for our protection, we both also see it as a social responsibility.

Not in any of the categories, but can't wait to get it.

Vaccine passports are the path back to a normal life. Bring on 2021!

Now is not the right time to surround yourself with positive people.

So right~ it is the responsible thing to do. I am certainly no fan of this government - but they have thrown money at the problem and as citizens we should play our part in trying to keep this virus at bay.

I understand that you will have to wait for the second dose before before it will enable you to run a 4 minute mile.

Seriously though how are they working their way through each group, I am in group 2 and clinically at risk and haven't heard a word as yet. Is it a postcode lottery.


clarkey

Well said Twig.Perfectly put.

The more who take it the sooner we get back to normal.The safer we are the less pressure on the NHS.

The anti vaxxers only have to look at the history of small pox, MMR and Polio. Who in their right mind would not take extra precautions if travelling up the Zambezi or going to India for example ? Who would not take an anti tetanus jab if they trod on a rusty nail ?

We could have a problem with Wednesday though...Tier Three for London would cancel fans going, that includes me and my boy. Real shame......
