How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?

UK data, which can be broken down to nation level, here:

Data for Cardiff and the Vale here:

https://cavuhb.nhs.wales/covid-19/ca...ion-programme/

1443 vaccinations yesterday. Interesting to note how few vaccinations have been given to the high risk over-80s group - 265 since the vaccination programme began on 8th December (average 7 per day). Contrast this with England where over 40% of over-80s have been vaccinated. Evidently Wales has prioritised frontline health and social care workers ahead of the over-80s.

I think frontline workers, those in healthcare, teachers, undertakers should get first shout. Any reduction in those numbers has knock on effects elsewhere. Then get vunerable workers vaccinated. Then do the elderly. Without being unkind, they can keep isolating and getting shopping delivered etc.

The elderly are much more likely to be severely ill and require treatment in hospital. We won't have a functioning NHS until most of them are vaccinated (or dead).

A mate of mine who is a physio at a hospital was re deployed to a covid ward and had his jab last week, he was amazed that office staff who have no contact with patients, had already had it. Also, that it was nowhere near the chaos he’d been led to believe it was in the media....

Keep them isolated .
My mum is in hospital , broke her hip the day after xmas.
I asked if they would be giving the elderly ladies in the ward the vaccine.
No plans , Welsh government had decided not to at the moment . And I understand they have to prioritise.
Not sure how many over 80,s there are in hospital right now but I wouldn't imagine extending the jab to them would have been a huge task .
The nurses I asked agreed .

They removed a lady from my mothers ward yesterday with covid 19 .
So isolating and getting her shopping delivered ?

Look like a very sensible approach by Cardiff and Vale, keeping mass vaccination centres for front line workers, and GPs for elderly, plus a mobile unit for care homes

I agree, as much as I want my 88 year old mum done, she’s going nowhere like last 9 months so can wait until frontline are done, teachers too in my opinion.

They are not changing the priority list, just different venues for different groups. Makes sense as elderly better done at their usual GP surgery rather than queue at mass vaccination centre.

Mention of teachers and for that matter many other key worker groups. I disagree that they should take priority. The NHS is clogged up with elderly and we know it hits them hardest. Until they are vaccinated the pressure on the NHS will remain, and normality will be delayed.

Average age in icu currently is 57 apparently, I wonder what the average age of those dying from covid is?

PHW data shows about 75% deaths 70 years or older

Had a letter this morning, giving a list of categories in order of vaccination.

I reckon with Duckford still in charge, they’ll have to dig me and the Mrs up for ours
