Some good news. It seems one of the trial vaccines offers 90% protection against the virus. The developers have applied for an emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month. UK has an order in place for 30m doses.

Our GP is listed as a location, no doubt we will hear from them in due course.  Judging by the crowd that turn up for flu vaccinations, there are a lot of elderly on their books!

OH was talking to our Practice Manager yesterday, turns out our area has not been getting the amounts of vaccine they should havefrown

Also turns out our elderly neighbours are on a list to be done at home by the community team. OH suggested someone might like to tell them as they are fretting about being forgotten.

I think they are hoping to get some vaccine soon, they have she said managed to make a start on the over 80s. smile

There has been questions asked about Tayside so hopefully we should see improvements soon.

It would appear that Finnish medical and scientific experts are concerned about the ‘remarkable mutational ability’ of SARS-CoV-2 and some variants that are showing signs of being able to ‘avoid some of the front running vaccines’.

Yay, our local surgery has got 100 doses of the vaccine and has started rolling it out to the over 80s, smile

True to their word our 95 year old neighbour had someone come to the house this morning to give her the first jab. smile

According to Matt Hancock today the limiting factor is supply and that will govern when those outside top priority groups become eligible.

Hopefully police and teachers, etc won't prioritised ahead of anyone over 50 and/or vulnerable.

There was someone, a woman, didn't catch who or profession, on Radio4 Today programme talking about hugging your grandchildren after the vaccine. She seemed to intimate it was a definite no no after 1 dose and the second 🙁 as the herd immunity hoped for with the vaccine rollout wont be strong enough.......... I think it will be a long time before we approach anything as it used to be.

No the subject of who gets jabbed in what order I do think nurses, police, fire, teachers, child carers etc who are in the frontline deserve to be given an early dose. They've had very little in the way of PPE, only the very basic stuff if any, and certainty haven't been overly rewarded in monetary terms. But that's my personal opinion.

I sincerely hope that the police are prioritised along with any frontline 'hands on' staff.
