In Wales we lag behind everything 😴 and we love and accept it .
In Israel 14 million done, folk go to parked lorries multiple venues , cut red tape to get it done, whilst we put folk through diversity training first .

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
My brother lives in Cheshire and is 80 with no underlying health issues. He had his first jab before Christmas and is scheduled to have the second next week. His friends in the same age group have also been vaccinated.

Yeah they’ve only had 6 months to prepare for it.....useless twats probably hoping a few more will die anyway to get the pension bill down and be less of a burden on the beloved nhs they’ve run into the ground for the last 10 years.....

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
I’m not too confident in the ability to systematically contact every person in sequence, I’m sure a good few will simply be accidentally missed out

Can we get away from the idea that it's the NHS? Drop the N. As far as London government is concerned it's the England Health Service. Wales, Scotland and the northern part of Ireland which is becoming more a part of Eire, feed off the scraps at the table. Boris has taken back control on behalf of England. Yesterday's figure was 1.1 million vaccinations in England (a friend's mum is about to have her second) and 0.2 million spread across the rest of the UK.....the bit where the votes dont matter so much, putting it bluntly.

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
I went for a blood test this morning, thousands must go for one every day, why can’t they give the COVID jab then while we’re in the building, saves a bit of messing about. I’ve got a bit of a funny story about my surgery visit this morning as well. I’ve been having a bit a trouble with my shoulder lately and have had a couple of phone appointments with my GP, her telling me to get back in touch if it persists. It has persisted so seeing as I was at the surgery today I thought I’d make another appointment. The receptionist tells me that they can only accept telephone requests. So she tells me to phone her, I’m then sat about five yards away from her, sat down phoning her. No answer, I’m called in for my blood test and put my phone on speaker, not wanting to lose my place in the queue. I tell the nurse the reason why my phone is on speaker to her amusement.
Anyway, blood test over I go back into the waiting room, phone tone still on speaker. The receptionist asks me if I’m phoning the correct number as their phone isn’t ringing. I show her my phone, it’s the correct number with the word ‘Doctor’ on my screen. I assure her that I’m not cheating on them with another surgery. She then gives me another number to ring, still not coming through to them, cue panic behind the counter, “The phones aren’t working, the phones aren’t working”. I wonder how many patients were ringing in to no avail until my episode? Anyway, she gave me my appointment over the counter then...the old face to face ways are sometimes the best:hehe:

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
For anyone in Cardiff or the Vale wondering how the mass vaccination programme will proceed locally there is some information on this newsletter (pages 2-3) from the Chief Executive of the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board

You do talk some bollox sometimes. Wales has had the correct amount of vaccine as per the population. It is the Welsh givernment saying that. So are you saying it's their fault?

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
I think you will find the general publics disdain goes right across the country
On tonight's question time , an intensive care doctor sitting next to the English vaccine deployment minister tore shreds into Boris and his motley crew
Friends of hers were going into high risk places and still hadn't been given the jab
Its a disgrace but blaming drakeford without looking at how shit it is in England is a sly punch

Watch a senior intensive care serve a government minister his arse on a plate over the crap roll out the other side of the bridge
Its on I player

I heard that we've trained Amazon drivers to give the jab with their deliveries. Wales will be done by Sunday, Prime customers by Friday

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
But none of this explains why the roll out in Wales is slower than in the rest of the UK. There has to be a reason for that shirley?

I get the impression that there was no attempt from the Welsh government to roll out the Pfizer vaccine to the over 80s. They were sitting tight over Christmas hoping and praying that the Oxford vaccine would be cleared in quick time, but they still have show a speeding up of its implementation.

You think whilst doing nothing with the Pfizer one, they’d be ready for the far easier Oxford one.....:sherlock:

Gethin said Wales will be at the same speed as the rest of the UK. But not given targets.
Johnson and the vaccine minister have said 13.9m by mid Feb. The vaccine minister also said all the 9 groups by Spring.
Lets see where we are mid Feb. If Johnson doesnt hit his target its been too much rubbish all the way through. I think that should be it. He will have to go. Ok if hes very close fair enough.
Whatever the rest of the Uk manage Gethin and Drakeford have to live up to what they have said which is they will be up to the same levels as the rest of the UK whatever that is. Again very close is fair enough.
Both have to deliver. Lets hope this time its not bullsh!t and these amounts of vaccines are rolled out.

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
According to the Prime Minister 23% (650,000) of the over-80s in England have received 1 dose of vaccine. So what is the percentage in Wales?

Think you've got your facts a bit muddled up there mate. The population of Israel is only 9 million and they've vaccinated about 1.5 million so far.

But they are short of the rest of UK now, and no reasonable reason given.

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
The area of Wales we live in is more akin to the west Midlands, the west Yorkshire metropolitan area , Greater Manchester etc
In other words most of the country's population live in a line north and south of the M4 , starting at Newport, ending in Swansea with cardiff and the valleys in between with some semi rural areas
Just like the areas I have mentioned
Its no surprise that the spread of the virus is at its highest in the areas of greatest population densities , towns and cities along the M4 or in the North, the population centre of Wrexham
We need to compare like with like ......what has been the distribution of the vaccine to urban South Wales and what is the uptake and what has been the distribution and uptake in say west Yorkshire 🤔
If we have a level playing field only then are we to make sensible comparisons
This is a global pandemic and its clear that all of the UK hasn't dealt with it well , people have broken rules and when given an ease of restrictions have acted like its party time . A few weeks ago people were saying drakefords lockdown was a waste of time ....it wasn't, it stalled the initial virus .....but then the new bugger came along and its still his fault .

Re: Vaccine rollout in wales
My own doctors practice has posted on Facebook overnight that theyve been asked to provide the Oxford vaccine to the over 80s. They said they are busy planning how to administer the vaccine and are also working on obtaining the correct accreditation.
FFS that could have started a few weeks ago.
