Thread: Vaccine rollout in wales

  1. #76

    Re: Vaccine rollout in wales

    The vaccination of all the residents and staff at the CH my mother in law is in was completed over 2 days this week. Pfizer vaccine.

    All have new appointments for the 2nd jab 8 weeks after the 1st.

    Some staff declined the jab. Dont know how many.

    Also some staff members didnt show up for their jabs so there was surplus. However they have back up contacts of health workers they can contact. These were all contacted and took the surplus so all vaccines used.

    Declined the jab? Why anyone would refuse it baffles me. You’d have thought, or expected, it would have been mandatory for staff, even to the point that it’d be a clause added to their contract, would any union disagree?

    I think everyone should take the jab but its not compulsory.

    Hopefully those who declined will take it up in the coming months.

    The home has had covid sweeping through it. Maybe those that didnt want it have had covid and reluctant at the moment.

    Theres no way they will be putting carers in place out of work as they are desperate for staff.

    Unfortunately theres more than enough drivel coming out about the jab and the strange things is a lot of these are the same people who are in denial about the virus.

    I dont think suddenly changing from 2nd jab from 28 days to 12 weeks has helped in the matter either though.

    Some bloke on the radio this morning was convinced the injections contained a liquid bar code which would enable governments to track peoples' movements. While this drivel exists the cretins out there are convinced not to take the injection. With people like that there is no hope.

    Those comparable vaccinations figures between Wales and England are a concern - no wonder Vaughan Gething was coming out with rubbish about the WAG not releasing figures earlier in the week.
    Ventilation is only necessary if you have lots of people visiting.

    If they lived in Wales they'd probably still be waiting their turn.

    Re: Vaccine rollout in wales

    The apparent problems in Wales are due to political failings and poor communication as much as anything. Drakeford’s crass comment on the vaccine roll out yesterday “it’s not a sprint” does nothing to allay the fears of the people about the competence of our political leaders.

    I think the NHS in Wales is doing everything they can to get the vaccines into peoples arms as rapidly as possible but are not helped by issues of limited vaccine supply. Also Wales may be targeting frontline health and social care workers more than other home nations meaning the over-80s would likely be marginally delayed? The commencement of the roll out of the AstraZeneca vaccine to GP surgeries this week should rapidly improve this situation.

    Communications in Wales do need to be improved. Every GP surgery in Cardiff and the Vale has now signed up to the mass vaccination programme but you wouldn’t know this if you visited my GP practice website which only has an out of date message from December stating they are not part of the vaccination plan so please don’t call!

    If politicians choose to use the vaccination programme as a means of courting good publicity then they deserve to be criticised when the roll out doesn’t match their grand pronouncements. But this is a political failure, not an NHS one. The NHS is working flat out and needs everyone’s support to make the vaccine roll out a success.

    See that Germany has broken EU Protocol by procuring extra vaccines despite Von Der Leyen’s proclamations.

    Hope that Ireland can manage to as well.

    It’s not a sprint....I bet those over 70 who haven’t left the house since March enjoyed that remark

    Im really disappointed with Mark Drakeford's attitude and crass comments too. On Friday he said that he doesn't know how much Pfizer vaccine Wales has( it's about 150,000 doses), and has only two weeks data on how much Oxford vaccine is coming. Then he says 20 GP practices are on stream to vaccinate, increasing to 75 this week, and up to 200 by the end of February!!

    Have a look at BBC News website for Scotland, approx twice the population of Wales. They have 500,000 doses of Oxford vaccine to use in January ( which means Wales would have about half that amount)and 1,100 GP practices and vaccination sites already set up.

    What does it mean in the real world. In Scotland and England the top three priority groups will be vaccinated by Mid February. In Wales, even if we double what we are doing now it will take until May.

    Currently we have an awful death rate from Covid in Wales, worse in UK, per head of population. We have hospitals on their knees, we have two vaccines that can stop all of this....and ' It's not a sprint".....Thank you Mark Drakeford

    Re: Vaccine rollout in wales

    The lady in charge of the vaccine programme in Wales was interviewed on Radio 5 on Friday morning and I switched the radio off when she replied that "it was not a competition" when, legitimately, asked why Wales is lagging behind the other home nations when it comes to getting people vaccinated. Therefore, it would seem that there is something of a standard response to these questions among the people in power in Wales - if it really takes until May for the first three groups to get vaccinated in Wales, then that will, surely, result in them being voted out just as the fourth group start getting their jabs weeks after the rest of the country.

    What an insensitive and politically damaging thing to say!

    They want to get rid of us old buggers first so the state pension is reduced. In all honesty it seems over the past few months Drakeford & Co., have taken a leaf out of Bozo’s book.

    We seem to be struggling with distribution and not surprised because Wales Gov wants to keep it all in house and have the NHS and Wales Blood service distributing. Im sure they manage on normal days to day stuff but they wouldn't have experience of anything on this scale.

    Shame is there is an expert medicines wholesaler specialising in distributing direct to GP surgeries, the biggest in UK and its based here in one of the South Wales valleys.

    All this is part if a wider failure in performance of health , education, infrastructure that has been ongoing for decades , and this now manifests itself when we are in times of crises .

    Re: Vaccine rollout in wales

    If it takes until May for the WG to vaccinate the first group and England does it by mid February then Drakeford and Gethin shouldnt even stand in the elections. They would have to resign.

    Ive never voted in the assembly elections but would have to make a point and try to vote them out if they stood .

    The same applies in England. I think Johnson and Hancock should be out anyway with their complete mismanagement. But this one fail again on the February target they should do the same. Resign.

    Hopefully both do this by mid Feb.

    The February target is not to have the first 4 tranches completed by Mid February but to offer those in the 4 groups vaccine appointments by Mid February. Both Johnson and Hancock have made such clarifications. However it was foolish of the government to make such promises as they have a record of over promising and under delivering.

    The number of vaccines completed on a daily basis in England will be published from tomorrow. Presumably the Welsh figures will also be published.

    Pretty sure I heard or read somewhere that daily figures would be available for Wales from tomorrow- they certainly should be if they are in England. The WAG have had a pretty easy ride in the Welsh media up to now, but they should be hammered on this if the figures remain as poor as they have been up to now.
