How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?

[xsnaggle]

I think that the average life expectancy in Merthyr is about Fifty Two. Those having the Vaccine in their 70's would've been done in a morning

Good point, I didn't consider that.
I did think it might have been so if the pubs and clubs were open ------ - but of course they're not.. Or are they?

[BLUETIT]

Any areas in Wales doing the 65 to 70 age group yet ?

Had my first Pfizer jab an hour ago in Splott Leisure Centre. Brilliantly organised, all volunteers, health workers, and RAF really fab and helpful. Someone even came out with a load of umbrellas during a downpour when we were in a long queue outside getting soaked. Been told the next one will be around 12 weeks time. Was really impressed with the set-up and the speed with which we were in and out.

Down under 500 new cases today with all of the Boards in South Wales having less than a hundred. The running total is now 462k for vaccines and, at present rates, that will mean it will go past half a million on Friday - deaths have jumped a lot from the previous day, as they always do on a Wednesday for some reason, to fifty from seven.

Starting on the 70’s in the valleys already I hear, my mates mum who is 75 was jabbed a few days ago in RCT.
Cardiff is way behind as has far more people to sort out

Both my parents received theirs last week. Mother attended Merthyr Leisure Centre and my father a local surgery.

All those over 70 I know have received theirs.

Everyone i know who ive asked over 70 or health or care workers either have had their jab or are booked in. After a slow start it appears to have gone really well.

Infection rate coming down as well.

Great news about the Oxford vaccine that you can’t spread it either....

[xsnaggle]

It must just be Cardiff then.

It is...my mother still waiting at 88....on the district nurse list but still ridiculous as lots of people come to her flat each week

70 year old on my street had hers on Sunday, maybe it depends on what part of Cardiff?

I'd suggest anyone over 80 who hasn't heard anything to contact their GP to find out what's going on.

Which is the natural inclination, except that the government advice is don't contact your GP you will be called for your appointment.
No one will be forgotten, Gethin said so.
He also said everyone over 70 would have an invitation by last Friday. I'm still waiting.

If you live in Cardiff worth calling 02921 841234...It's the mass vaccine appointment centre for Cardiff & Vale. I'm similar age to you and got an appointment at Splott for next day.

My Oldie made an appointment by phone one day at Pentwyn the day before they we due the jab at the GPS surgery. He had it but now is ringing up every day asking where his follow up letter is for the second jab as people he knows have had their letters and he hasn’t.

Total chaos and extra burden on the NHS. I think we should wait the call. I’m guessing mid-April for me but which year as they’ll need to ramp up the second jab by then.

At time of my jab I was given a card with second appointment date. Have since had a letter confirming it

So basically your ‘oldie’ already had an appointment for the vaccine at the GP but rang up and had it a day early somewhere else, for some unknown and totally ridiculous reason, which could have resulted in a vaccine dose being wasted and one less person being done overall. Also chasing the second dose 10-12 weeks before it is due !! I just don't get the selfishness of some people.

I'm in that age group and haven't heard a thing. My local GP surgery in Abergavenny are also asking people not to ring them because they haven't been told anything.

I thought that everyone over 70 would get an invite by February 15th, not the end of January? That's been the target all along hasn't it?
In Cardiff and Vale if you're 75+ it will be from your GP, if you're 70-74 or extremely vulnerable then it will be via a MVC.

I know 6 people who are 70 or over, they all live in Cardiff and all have had their 1st Vaccine.

When someone complained that he was high risk and old Gethin spoke to him personally and promised him he had not been forgotten and then stated " I expect everyone over 70 to be invited for a first injection by the end of the week." THat was last Wednesday

Wales continues to vaccinate at a higher overall rate than England, and IF the current rates continue (dependent greatly on supply continuing) then Wales will overtake England for the highest % of population vaccinated sometime early next week.

Given the UK is one of the quickest at rolling out the vaccine in the World, perhaps we should be more proud of the nation's efforts.

Yes, Wales is doing well, despite the doubters.
Long may it continue.

My mum had hers yesterday at CCS. Drive thru, she never got out the car.
