25000 jabs yesterday . Well on course to hit mid Feb targets.
Well done Wales NHS
Yes, Bob, better news on the jabs and infection rates. Things are moving in the right direction.
Death rates are still high and it is a massive concern. I assume it's in part due to the new, more aggressive variant, but is it linked to pockets of deprivation, poor housing, lifestyle particularly up the Valleys? I guess it will come out in the wash eventually.
My 84 year old auntie got her first jab (Oxford AZ) on Friday - but only because her 82 year old neighbour who uses the same surgery in Ely was given an appointment and she relies on my auntie to drive her there. So she asked them to see where my auntie was on the list so that they could be done at the same time.
But my auntie wasn't on the list - even though she is registered with the surgery and goes regularly for bloods and flu jabs. All turned out well in the end but she is the third elderly relative I know about who was missing from a GP list (the other two in England).
They said a couple of days ago that they are going to start calling in 70 year olds. I'm almost 71 and I am the youngest of 6. 2 have had to isolate because of other health problems. None of us has had an invitation to go and be vaccinated. The oldest, my sister, is almost 83 and lives with someone with chronic illness, also not vaccinated.
But I did get a letter the other day to inform me that I would be getting a letter to inform me that I can make an appointment, at some time in the future. so that's alright then.
According to the tossers down the bay, "computers don't work on the weekend", so they can't verify numbers.
Only four thousand vaccinations yesterday which has more than undone the good work of the previous three days - hopefully, it's just a one off though. New cases under a thousand again;-

I was in Merthyr yesterday morning and the vulture camera crews were waiting outside the closed Vaccination centre. I spoke to the lead from the test centre opposite and the only reason anyone could think of was they were waiting for someone to turn up for a vaccination so they could interview them to show how the Welsh Government or the NHS were letting people down. Sad for them no one turned up.
It really gets up my nose how they leech onto bad news.
They did the same in Abercynon when they had to turn people away because they ran out of test kits. They failed to report that the centre had done over 1100 tests in 12 hours, more than any other test centre in the UK, and were waiting for an unexpected resupply.
Someone had to make the decision to open or close very early in the day so old people were going out in the snow for nothing and there was time to get it on the news and tell people. Who ever had to make the decision was in a no-win situation. If they had opened and an old lady had slipped and broken bher hip going for a jab that would have been wrong too.
They make me sick.
