I guess so, they just need the NHS to get to a point where it can copeQuote:

Increasingly, I find myself thinking of a quote from Billy Connolly that I read on twitter last week - he said the fact someone wants to be a politician should automatically preclude them from becoming one.

Oh dear! How are the WG doing with vaccine delivery? Yesterday in England 1.1m doses were administered. Perhaps Wales is doing better but I very much doubt it. Apparently the UK has vaccinated more people than the rest of Europe put together. And sadly, in this pandemic when the virus is controlling events, it's no wonder governments have to change course so quickly. If they didn't they would be accused of intransigence. Basically they can't win.Quote:

That's the figure quoted on Sky News, the BBC and in Parliament today. Apparently the 4 UK governments did 1.3m vaccines yesterday but I don't know how well or badly the WG did.Quote:

However they say with the new vaccine things will speed up rapidly.
FFS that Welsh press conference. Ongoing discussions with pharmacys to give vaccines. Shouldnt this have all been in place already.?
You would think....maybe they like us being locked downQuote:

Lets see. Hope its not another operation moonshot.

The pharmacist has to draw up doses from the vial using aseptic technique and once a dose has been used from the vial the other nine doses must be used within 6 hours and anything not used in this time must be binned.
I’m not sure busy high street pharmacies are the place for this type of vaccine.
Had 2 mates who spent over a week in UHW on oxygen before Christmas. Both home now thankfully.Quote:

Did he say which spring?Quote:

Maybe others in my situation should consider doing the same? Probably a logistical/administrative nightmare though.Quote:

However, speaking as a retired industrial pharmacist who spent some time in retail, I don't know how they would find the time! As for the worry about aseptic technique, I hardly think there is much difference in working conditions between the consulting room in a pharmacy and a leisure centre. Pharmacists should be well aware of aseptic procedures?Quote:

This has already been discussed. Th government has already been sourcing these and had put money towards greater manufacturing output.Quote:
