On the 6th of August 2nd dose vaccine rates across nations within the UK were:
Wales: 82.9%
Scotland: 74.5%
England: 73.6%
Northern Ireland: 74.2%
On the 9th of August 2nd does vaccine rates were:
Wales: 83.4% (+0.5%)
Scotland: 75.6% (+1.1%)
England: 74.5% (+0.9%)
Northern Ireland: 75.3% (+1.1%)
At what point do we pick up on the fact that when Drakeford first announced 7th of August as potential Code Zero date he hoped for 85% of adults doubled jabbed but we look a few days off that still with progress definitely slowed?
Is this why Boris Johnson has threatened vaccine passports?
Is this why we're seeing stories such as this in the press? "Hospitalised dad who turned down vaccine urges others to get jab": https://www.thenational.wales/news/1...thers-get-jab/
One jab is good (every nation but Northern Ireland progress has slowed now) but two jabs are needed for higher chance of increased and longer lasting protection.
There's no doubt that the uptake has slowed amongst younger people. One thing I didn't realise until last month was how difficult it can be to get a jab as a student. One of my grandchildren is in Uni at Bristol and being from Wales was told he would have to go to Cwmbran Vaccination centre for the jab.Originally Posted by surge
Surely, Bristol to Cwmbran which is only 37 miles, with all transport now available and no restrictions, to get vaccinated to benefit your health and those of others isn’t a problem?
I’ve read somewhere that during the midst of the pandemic someone wanted to travel the 42 miles between Cardiff and Brecon for a pack of lamb chops.
It still makes me wonder?
Cheers! He's reached the heady heights of being the first person I've ever put on 'ignore' so I'm hoping he does the same (though my first attempt came up with the message 'you can't ignore yourself!' which I think is positive discrimination!. Anyway, time to move on.
You were kind to me last week.
I’d like to return the favour and wish you all the best!!
Appreciated. Very much.
I wonder if phase 3 of the " show " has started
Everytime you defend and justify the Brecon meat issue it looks worse.
I dont get how someone residing as a student in England cant get a jab in England though.
Looking at the rules in Wales for students from outside Wales if youve registered with a GP the GP will contact you for a jab. If you havent registered if you contact the Local Authority yourself if your not Welsh then a jab will be arranged.
So dont see any issues at all with arrangements for students in Wales.
If the rules in England are different and im not convinced they are I dont see how thats the Welsh Govts fault.

Thought so.
Misinformation verbally or by social media is more of an issue than Welsh Govt bureaucracy regarding getting access to or taking a jab.
You can say what you like. The fact is that he was invited by the NHS to attend at Cwmbran to get a jab. He also had to go there to get his second shot.
So was he registered to a doctor in Cwmbran?
That would explain why he was invited there as how would they know that he was away at uni in bristol?
He has nothing to do with Cwmbran. His home address is in Chepstow.
I just spoke to him on the phone and asked why he didn't go to Bristol as per the communication you referred to. He didn't know about it, and looking into it we note the date of it is is 16 June,. He said term ended on 21 June, so hardly any time to action anyway.
Sounds to me as though he wasnt told he had to go to Cwmbran. He was invited to go there from his GP records.
I think its likely he made no effort to find out if he could have one in Bristol ( no critism of him I would probably have waited for my invite as well) and if he had it could have been arranged.
What is clear that students can get their jabs local to their uni.
For the record the university correspondence you referenced stated that jabs were available from 23 June. Bristol Uni summer term ended 21 June. If he had stayed in Bristol after that maybe he could have got one, who knows.
The 'invitation' from the NHS for a jab specified Cwmbran Vaccination centre. My other grandson in Cardiff uni also had to have his jabs there.
However, the main thing as far as Im concerned is that they have both been vaccinated.

very interesting thread on the current situation with covid in the UK
Don't understand her comments about cases decreasing in under 20s, when her chart clearly shows cases increasing in all sub-sections of under 20s.
tweet 3 charts seem to support that statement
I thought someone said cases of under 30s were now a greater percentage of cases but we not increasing, just that all the other cohorts were being infected less.
Charts and info about cases numbers often appear to contradict each other.

More than 80 private Covid travel test providers listed on the government's website will be issued two-strike warnings over misleading prices, (England) Health Secretary Sajid Javid has announced.
A further 57 firms will be removed from the website on Monday, because they either no longer exist or do not actually provide the relevant tests.
But consumer group Which? said that it had warned the government about the problems with private travel test providers six months ago.
"It's welcome news that the government is finally taking responsibility for its list of test providers and carrying out an audit, but it's six months late," Rory Boland, travel editor at consumer association Which?, told the BBC.
Was wondering where this thread had gone? Looks like the Ozzies are in the do do, endless lockdown…..Is NZ about to join them?
many saw the Oz, NZ border lockdowns as the great answer
Yet, little cases mean people are less likely to have the vaccine it seems, so when the virus does get into the country it then runs riot, so have oz / nz just postponed the inevitable ? ? ?
people will still point at little ( or no ) deaths from covid, but the vaccine uptake is low
do they keep the borders closed forever ? ? ? ? or live with localised / national lockdowns for the next X amount of years ( while life in other countries just continues ) ? ? ?
Business in Oz and particularly the South Island in NZ are really suffering also, the latter relying heavily on foreign tourists. My kiwi mate reckons loads will go under if they don’t open soon….and now they might have months of lockdown if the Delta variant kicks off
