Great news about the Oxford vaccine that you can’t spread it either....

Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
I'd suggest anyone over 80 who hasn't heard anything to contact their GP to find out what's going on.

Which is the natural inclination, except that the government advice is don't contact your GP you will be called for your appointment.
No one will be forgotten, Gethin said so.
He also said everyone over 70 would have an invitation by last Friday. I'm still waiting.

If you live in Cardiff worth calling 02921 841234...It's the mass vaccine appointment centre for Cardiff & Vale. I'm similar age to you and got an appointment at Splott for next day.

My Oldie made an appointment by phone one day at Pentwyn the day before they we due the jab at the GPS surgery. He had it but now is ringing up every day asking where his follow up letter is for the second jab as people he knows have had their letters and he hasn’t.
Total chaos and extra burden on the NHS. I think we should wait the call. I’m guessing mid-April for me but which year as they’ll need to ramp up the second jab by then.

At time of my jab I was given a card with second appointment date. Have since had a letter confirming it

I'm in that age group and haven't heard a thing. My local GP surgery in Abergavenny are also asking people not to ring them because they haven't been told anything.

I thought that everyone over 70 would get an invite by February 15th, not the end of January? That's been the target all along hasn't it?
In Cardiff and Vale if you're 75+ it will be from your GP, if you're 70-74 or extremely vulnerable then it will be via a MVC.

I know 6 people who are 70 or over, they all live in Cardiff and all have had their 1st Vaccine.

Wales continues to vaccinate at a higher overall rate than England, and IF the current rates continue (dependent greatly on supply continuing) then Wales will overtake England for the highest % of population vaccinated sometime early next week.
Given the UK is one of the quickest at rolling out the vaccine in the World, perhaps we should be more proud of the nation's efforts.

Yes, Wales is doing well, despite the doubters.
Long may it continue.

So basically your ‘oldie’ already had an appointment for the vaccine at the GP but rang up and had it a day early somewhere else, for some unknown and totally ridiculous reason, which could have resulted in a vaccine dose being wasted and one less person being done overall. Also chasing the second dose 10-12 weeks before it is due !! I just don't get the selfishness of some people.

Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
Slight rise in new cases which is accounted for entirely by one of the health authorities in North Wales - all South Wales Boards are under a hundred. The plus twenty thousand a day trend continues in vaccines (the total now at 490,000) and a drop in the deaths figure to 35.

When someone complained that he was high risk and old Gethin spoke to him personally and promised him he had not been forgotten and then stated " I expect everyone over 70 to be invited for a first injection by the end of the week." THat was last Wednesday

Surprised he said that tbh when it's not the policy. I think I'm right in saying that the extremely vulnerable who are over 75 are being called by their age rather than vulnerability, so the pace of the roll out is determined by more local factors such as the age distribution at their own GP. I got done at Splott last week, but my 78 year old parents are still waiting.

It's down to Matt Hancock's decision to watch Contagion one evening, which gave the government the idea of ordering huge numbers of vaccines before they even got approved.
Hooray for Hollywood.

Absolutely...I was mortified... Old People’s Disease...
My long gone in-laws use to queue outside their GP from before 7am in bleak midwinter to be first in the queue to see the GP at 9am to save waiting.
I hope this form of OPD isn’t contagious as I’m 54:hehe:
