How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?

Every UK adult could be vaccinated by mid-July - if these figures are anything to go by


For ordinary citizens with all the lack of clarity about which story if any is the correct one it’s no wonder people are losing faith in the pronouncements of the politicians

[Cleve van Leef]

Mid July 2022 in Wales if we’re lucky!

I for one as a non labour voter thinks he's performed well throughout the crisis.

Now I know where the saying "There's always one" comes from

[life on mars]

Its a pity Wales didn't have some time to plan and prepare for this moment .

All this work on the vaccine just appeared from nowhere.

[life on mars]

I think the confidence of the Welsh public in Drakeford’s ability to roll out the vaccine is dwindling by the minute.

“We won’t get another delivery of the Pfizer vaccine until the very end of January or maybe the beginning of February, so that 250,000 doses of vaccine has got to last us six weeks”.

What on earth is he saying here? If you’ve got a quarter of a million doses of vaccine then what you do is stick them in the arms of high risk Welsh people as soon as humanly possible 24/7 and if you’ve used them all up in a few days then that is a very good thing!

Folk have conveniently forgot Wales poor NHS before all this and then chuck in transport and education performance it suggests were okay putting up with it as long as we have a particular political party in power , no opposition , no challenges to under performance is unhealthy , same in Scotland , no one talks about their methadone and drug problems which are appalling.

In all fairness although I have looked I cannot find any direct reference to Drakeford actually saying this., other than the twitter comment on here by a third person attached to a still of him in a briefing.

Can anyone actually find the clip of him if it was said on air or give a link to the the written statment?
Or is it deliberate fake news?

GPs in north Wales are being advised to consider delaying Covid-19 vaccine appointments early next week due to a hold-up affecting about 26,000 doses.

[Delbert]

Apologies, I didn't realise there were clinical trials that showed that. What is the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine after 12 weeks? And the Oxford one?

The Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisations (JCVI) believe both vaccines are likely to offer good enough protection with a 12 week interval between doses.

Well when you compare him to our neighbour he's run at Boris, dropped the shoulder, skinned him and smashed it into the roof of the net.

But then moron's like you find it easier to bark at the moon.

Tidy, I see I’ve won

[Heisenberg]

Got my first jab booked in for Tuesday and my follow-up booked in for April.

It took 3 days of ringing to get through to the booking team due to the volume of calls that they were receiving... Make of that what you will.

A maximum of 12 weeks between doses is what the JCVI say. Pfizer still say second at 3 weeks. MHRA say no sooner than 3 weeks.

I didn't realise there was a competition but congratulations.

Mark Drakeford defends decision to delay deployment of Pfizer vaccine supplies on #r4today: "There would be no point and certainly it would be logistically damaging to use up all our vaccines in the first week and have our vaccinators standing around with nothing to do."

this seems like cherry picking data.
I've been comparing England and Wales throughout the pandemic, and for most of it England has been higher than Wales . and I think if you look at deaths overall since the start England's rate is higher.
for a short period in December and the start of January Wales were higher

I thought it was pertinent to juxtapose those figures with Drakeford's comments that the deployment of the Pfizer vaccine in Wales is being delayed to prevent vaccinators having nothing to do if all the existing supply is used up.

[Cleve van Leef]

So they vaccinate for half a day, stand around the rest of it so they can vaccinate the next half day and stand around the rest of the day ad infinitum. A friggin’ joke.

they aren't going to be standing around though are they as they'll just switch onto the Astra Zeneca vaccine.

Front line social care.

I just heard that they are introducing online bookings for certain professionals to help ease the burden on the phone lines too.

Not said a word about Astra Zeneca vaccine.

So what is Drakeford talking about?
