Sadly, you have to view it the other way, so long as nobody is being pushed aside, surely it would be better for those in such an enclosed area, staff and inmates, to be vaccinated so as to reduce the chance of the virus occurring, and therefore also the risk of it being transported elsewhere, i.e. hospitals.

It's a fact that personal involvement will always affect a persons view on a subject ,which might be different if only strangers are involved, not relatives.

Hence, I guess, it's where the expression---'for the common good'---came into being, to remove the personal aspect.

Hopefully that sort of situation will never arise.

I think the key phrase here is “as long as no one is pushed aside”, unfortunately to make a certain group a priority will “push aside” others in the queue.

Yes, I suppose there is some personal involvement here as were only currently down to group 4 and I’m in group 7.

I guess, at 83, I must be in a fairly high group. However I'm stuck here in France due to travel restrictions caused by the very thing I'm trying to avoid.---
I was offered the jab a couple of weeks ago at my surgery in Devon.

I think, though, some good will come out of it as some other person will get that jab instead of me.--------A fair bit of personal involvement there for me.--

What a right malarkey this vaccination is turning out for Mam! Her appointment at her doctors surgery tomorrow has been cancelled due to running out of vaccine supplies there.
They've now made an appointment for her at the Bolton wanderers football ground for the 7th February, She's 89 & housebound how the heck is that going to work out?

If your Mam was in France her doctor could book a free taxi for her to go to have the jab.--Distance no object.--Specialist taxis with medically qualified drivers for any travel emergencies.

Yes it's ridiculous at Mam's age wanting her to go & queue up for goodness how long in this cold weather, There's been no mention of wheelchaired transport either We cant get Mam in or out of the car any more & been told by the district nurse not to attempt it anyway! .

She said again that they can burger off

I spoke on the phone to mam this morning and as no transportation is being offered to take her to Bolton wanderers football ground she's waiting until her doctors practice gets another vaccine supply however long that will take
