How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?

[Former Labour leader]

We had to contact the Thornhill surgery to get our 94 year old neighbour an appointment.

They were oblivious of her being a patient.

Good on you BT for looking out for your neighbour. There will, I guess, always be some who slip through the net.

[Harry Paget Flashman]

28000 vaccines yesterday, 23k day before. Certainly ramping up to meet promises, despite doubters on here.

At this rate the 80+; and care home residents and workers should easily be completed by mid Feb.

Cases up a bit on yesterday, but overall still coming down, so fingers crossed. Death rate is still too high. I speculate that much of that is due to the levels of poverty and deprivation in the valleys.

I don’t believe a word of how many vaccinations they say now

She’s rung twice already....I told her to keep nagging them

Agreed. The BBC article I posted this morning said that if they could match the 23,000 figure every day they would be able to meet the mid February target which would lead to some on here having to eat some humble pie for what they've been saying recently - I'm one of those people and I will be very pleased to do so if the rates for the last two days can be maintained.

I'd love to see a breakdown of those 28000.

Bet the vast majority were to health care workers who should be a lot easier to get to and vaccinate en masse than the elderly.

Found it. Interesting that we are possibly on a par with England considering the four day lag in our reporting.

I'm amazed there hasn't been a drive in the last year to ensure patient details are accurate and up to date.

That article gives a very good explanation into why the figures are different and what approaches Wales is taking to ensure everyone is seen. Obviously hands were tied by the requirements regarding the Pfizer Vaccine but things look to be moving in the right direction.

Well my 88 year old mother is still waiting in Birchgrove, she can see the surgery from her flat window too.....

crazy

Mate of mine was relocated to the new grange hospital in a covid ward so had his jab a few weeks ago, he was amazed to find out that office staff who never go anywhere near the wards had already secured there’s.....farcical just like boris’ dad already managed to get not only his first jab, but 2nd too.....lovely stuff to hear that

Bollocks 70% of over 80’s by the end of the weekend.....

Thw only problem with that woud be that they promised that by then everyone 70 and older plus those with underlyinghealth conditions would be done.

And they will be if the rate for the last two days is maintained according to the BBC link I posted this morning.

Had a kick up the arse and Drakeford needs room to recover after his stupid comments, see with a bit of effort we can get things done quicker, to protect lives .

Yes Bob. I sense a real ramping up last couple of days after a sluggish start and I am pretty sure they will come close to hitting targets. Which will disappoint some on here.
I am prepared to eat humble pie if I am wrong

I won’t be disappointed if they hit the targets I will be delighted. My issue is the ****wittery of their public announcements.

[Phil Silvers]

I've been told tonight by a local GP that Cwm Taf Morgannwg(Bridgend area) are contacting the over 70's for their vaccinations. As I mentioned earlier I'm 74 and I will be receiving my first vaccination next Wednesday.
It seems bloody unfair that some over 80's in other areas haven't been contacted yet!

I doubt those people are jumping the queue.

It makes sense to get all NHS employees vaccinated asap as it the place that keeps us alive when we fall ill.

I guess they will have done so many is that the staff are a captive audience.

It's the same in England. Office staff, dealing with pensions and other non medical issues, who are in completely different buildings to the hospital seem to have had their jabs.

Before nurses who work on wards??

6pm last night there was still a lot of people waiting outside Cwmbran stadium.

I really hope this doesn’t turn out to be true. The JCVI set out the priority list based on the clinical risk of infection, not as a perk of the job. It is immoral for any non-frontline NHS employee to make an appointment to receive the vaccine at this time.

Ideally no but maybe the logistics made it happen days apart.

Be aware office staff are also covering or in reserve to cover front line duties...they are not getting vaccinated as a rule (yet)
