I've edited a comment, although I appreciate the comment was no doubt meant figuratively, someone was upset by it.

So far, the figures for the UK are very encouraging, due to a splendid effort from the NHS and their helpers, our vaccination figures are ahead of most of the world.

I remember roughly what Bazyl originally wrote. So one person "felt upset" by it and the other 1067 (at current count) who've read the thread weren't apparently bothered significantly. You yourself believe it was meant figuratively – as was obvious to me and, I'm sure, the other 1067.

I'm curious: how do you decide in this instance to pander to the one person?

Well I missed this one.

So threads can be edited just because one person complains is how it reads to me?

It's just the way of the world nowadays.

Yes – edited or complete post deleted… and worse, the complainer does this behind a cloak of anonymity instead of having the…er … thingies …. to state his views in the forum in the usual way.

As blowlamp says …

I am not certain that's quite right about over-65s not needing an invitation. I am 68, and received an NHS invitation only yesterday. .It says though I can book via the route it gives or wait for my local surgery to contact me. I was rather surprised as I thought I would be waiting a while yet.

Nigel, I'll be finding out tomorrow morning at 08:15. My wife got the same letter at same time (she's a year older than me), the link is incomplete. If you navigate from the top of the NHS site it's not too bad to find.

I can now confirm you do NOT need a letter to get jabbed, just be the right age group. Book it on the NHS site using NHS number (on your prescription, we've all got those) date of birth & mobile number or email, receive conformation. turn up at your choice of site, if you're on the list you get the jab. Thats all there is to it.

I am afraid not quite true, while you can book without getting your letter, when you do get the letter it says you MUST take the letter with you, read from that what you will.

The letter sent out on the 4th of feb for 65 to 70 makes no mention of requiring said letter, are you telling me I need to convince my arm and queasy stomach it's all my imagination and the jab card sitting in my wallet is fake?

I expect the goal posts have been moved since you had yours

My wife and I were contacted by our respective surgeries by phone for our jabs and had them last Friday and the Friday before, we're 69 & 70. Missus had quite bad reactions, myself not so bad, to the Tizer vaccine.

Certainly increased my hunger to find out more about it!…

..and it seems to be as good as anything else out there.

Live long & prosper.

Governments biggest mistake is to employ experts who do actually know what they are talking about. This is very expensive when all they need to do is pop in the local pub, experts give advice freely on any subject. Football is another organisation that wastes millions of pounds on players and managers when there are loads of experts in every pub.

The 12 weeks system does not appear to have universal support.

This person’s view does not seem to have got very much media coverage.

12 weeks?

A bit of hopeful news on the vaccine subject. There is a local care home that has 6 residents and 2 staff testing CO19 positive. None of them have so far shown any adverse symptoms. The all had their vaccinations at the beginning of January. The 2 staff have to quarantine. Testing is carried out twice a week.

Well, all the pubs've been shut for months now, so there'll be a huge head of pent-up expertise just waiting to be released to the world when the lockdown ends.

How will anything stop us now? What could possibly go wrong???

Yes, I noted in the news, today, that the Americans just happened to ignore 3000 results (that would not have helped?) their testing results. One can surmise that those ‘unwelcome’ results would almost certainly have reduced the efficacy of the vaccine.

It seems vaccinations in the UK have quietly moved on to anyone over 60.

And moved beyond that is some areas – Mrs B is not 60 yet & was called by her GP last Friday to arrange a first injection. When she queried if she was eligable, the receptionist said thay had done all the over 60s & were moving to the next group.

Despite being (just) over 60, my hopeless GP has yet to get in touch. No problem booking both dates online, with a wide choice of locations and times. We are both getting the first dose this Friday, though at different locations.
