Covid - news and views

Hubby and I booked our vaccinations online simultaneously so we had the best chance of having appointments for the same time.  We were also able to do the same for the second vaccination. 

Hopefully, if we manage to get away for our planned trip in April, we'll be back in time for our second vaccinations.

Looking at this thread and noted comments re second vaccination.

My wife had letter from NHS last week with details of how to book and both vaccinations are booked at the same time with lots of availability  both day and times.

She could have had the next day if she had wanted it.

I get my jab this coming Friday. I received a text and just followed the links to book a slot. My understanding is that I’ll be contacted again nearer the time regarding my second jab. At this moment, I’m keeping May free (nothing planned/booked) until I know when my second jab will take place. At this moment the wife (same age) hasn’t been contacted but I’m hopeful that she’ll get her jab soon, and that we won’t be too out of sync. I do have Cirencester Park booked around mid April, so hopefully that’ll go ahead🤞

Well well! Just 10 minutes ago a text came through inviting me for my first jab. 

Saturday morning, doctors surgery 10 minutes walk along there - but, like Freddy, no date for second jab, just a note on the confirmation text to say about 12 weeks time and I'd be contacted nearer the time.

Mrs M (who is a mere youngster compared to me) is now in a massive sulk! 

We did the same - PC and Ipad at the same time.

But are not considering going away before the second dose 12 weeks on (2nd May) - nor relaxing the "keeping ourselves to ourselves" regime. Holidays can wait until later in the year (if at all!)

I suspect you mean 'shorter' high season fees. Good luck with that one.

Whilst the vaccine roll-out has been impressive, I'm not sure everywhere else is going to catch up, so it will make foreign travel a bit bother than it's worth.

I expect your right but as i have BF flexi tickets will just keep booking ferrys and see what happens, big article in the FT re how Spain is hurting due to lack of tourists, so they are going to be very obliging one would have thought, although i see they now have the SA variant

well I could suggest full social distancing between you two? After all you could still pass it on to her

 

Social distancing is the only way we've managed to get this far without killing each other!
