Tidy, I see I’ve won :thumbup:
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
Got my first jab booked in for Tuesday and my follow-up booked in for April.
It took 3 days of ringing to get through to the booking team due to the volume of calls that they were receiving... Make of that what you will.

this seems like cherry picking data.
I've been comparing England and Wales throughout the pandemic, and for most of it England has been higher than Wales . and I think if you look at deaths overall since the start England's rate is higher.
for a short period in December and the start of January Wales were higher

I thought it was pertinent to juxtapose those figures with Drakeford's comments that the deployment of the Pfizer vaccine in Wales is being delayed to prevent vaccinators having nothing to do if all the existing supply is used up.
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
So they vaccinate for half a day, stand around the rest of it so they can vaccinate the next half day and stand around the rest of the day ad infinitum. A friggin’ joke.

they aren't going to be standing around though are they as they'll just switch onto the Astra Zeneca vaccine.

Front line social care.
I just heard that they are introducing online bookings for certain professionals to help ease the burden on the phone lines too.

Mark Drakeford defends decision to delay deployment of Pfizer vaccine supplies on #r4today: "There would be no point and certainly it would be logistically damaging to use up all our vaccines in the first week and have our vaccinators standing around with nothing to do."
Not said a word about Astra Zeneca vaccine.

So what is Drakeford talking about?

I have no idea why they're doing it, and it doesn't sound like drakeford does either. presumably a decision made for a logistical reason that hasn't been explained well enough.
from a political point of view it would be far better frlor drakeford to burn through the vaccines as fast as possible and then moan loudly that the UK government weren't giving them enough.

Wales' first minister has been accused of a "go-slow" vaccination strategy after he defended the speed of the Covid jab roll-out.

Cheers - i was just wondering if they're starting to invite anyone below 80 yet. Seems not at the moment.
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
I may have missed something but who are these vaccinators who would be standing around doing nothing? Surely they have their normal "day jobs" to be getting on with or has WAG somehow magically conjured up lots of unemployed people to become vaccinators?
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
"There would be no point and certainly it would be logistically damaging to rescue all the people from the burning building as quickly as possible and have our firemen standing around with nothing to do."
This is Drakeford's logic. It's insane.
