Its a huge group. My surgery seems to be doing the 65-69 first but not sure if that's something they've decided or something mandated by NHS England. They did have to stop vaccinating for a while before starting the 65-69s at the weekend which they have said was down to NHS England.

I’ve heard a few places say that when they’ve finished a group they have to get the OK that they can move on. NHS England checking they haven’t missed anyone or something.

Seems needless to me, just prioritise those you missed if you need to, but surely don’t stop and wait for anything?

Bedworth Civic Hall announced yesterday that they had a bit of surplus and were encouraging anyone around the age of 60 to contact them. My mum and my other half’s parents have now all had their first vaccine and are booked in for early May for their 2nd.

I deal with NHS England regularly, an ivory tower organisation that thinks it knows better than experienced people on the ground, funny how Matt Hancock is making noise about wanting more political control. My experience of them is that they're already micro managed by the SoS as it is.

Aren’t they also doing 16-65 with underlying health issues at the same time though? That’s a massive group of about 7m people.

A group of 7 million people, brings it home just how many people ‘of no real age’ are at serious risk from this virus, when people keep repeating the mantra that it only effects the elderly and vulnerable I don’t think they realise just how wide ranging that group actually is.

Absolutely smashing this vaccine lark as it stands.

Is it something like 3 million a week we are giving out?

Just came across this, when I was looking for the impact on rate of first jabs that people needing second jabs would be:



That seems to suggest there's no plans to keep giving first doses to those under 50 until all those over 50/vulnerable have had both their jabs, is that right?

I'm guessing based on the Y axis they're just assuming an 80% uptake and just having this as a total for those groups as opposed the whole population.

That surely can't be right as people's second jabs would be coming due way before then?

That makes a lot of sense. Still curious what the overall curve looks like then.

First jab was 8th Dec I think. The govt made the decision to extend the gap between doses to 12 weeks on 11th Jan. Assume then that everybody from 8th Dec to 10th Jan has generally had the second dose now (second dose numbers increase a little day by day which might just be appointment convenience).

Johnson press conference at 5. Wonder if he'll start announcing plan to ease lockdown.

I also think the plan being 'cautious but irreversible' is a ridiculous thing to say. In a situation like this the one thing it needs to be is reversible. If things start going badly again we need to change tack to allow for that.

Pandering to the nutcases again.

He knows the dumbasses in the electorate will give him a free pass on any mistakes no matter how many die or how corrupt they are. Just blame it all on teachers probably

I actually noticed a change in tact in the ministers I saw interviewed at the weekend who weren't letting themselves get cornered into giving arbitrary dates for sectors reopening and were making it clear that when dates given could be changed depending on the data.

Along comes the blustering idiot in chief to once again make promises he may have to renege on but not before people have died because of his stupidity. Absolute wanker.

I think that ‘cautious but irreversible’ comment has been taken out of context. From what I’ve read Johnson was saying the dates to be announced next week will be the earliest for releasing certain restrictions in stages, and if there’s a spike they won’t hesitate to delay stages further.

He wants the progress out of lockdown to be cautious but irreversible ie if they’re careful they shouldn’t hopefully need to lock back down again

He's going to reopen schools and get a more infectious strain spreading around because he has no spine in resisting the calls of his moron backbenchers. If I weren't at risk of getting sacked because of it I'd refuse to go in on 8th March.

In this most fluid of situations he should not be using the word irreversible at all.

Given the amount of u turns he's had to do you'd think he'd have more sense.
