I have found that several people have got appointments much ear!ier than they anticipated, and several in the younger age groups. Good luck to all, but the danger still exists for quite a while, so stay safe.

Just roughly, if you cut the population into three groups of 25 years and about 1/3 of the population have received their first jab then they should now be in the 25 to 50 years old group.
I say 25 years as a figure between nought and three score years and ten, plus a bit, ------as an average life time.

When you say---the younger age groups---do you mean around 25 years old ??--( And upwards. )

Okay, all five of them, from different parts of England, are around forty years old.
We should always be aware that we don't count the under sixteens in the programme. That is about 11.5 million.

Locally one of the Doctors surgeries has started calling the 40 year olds in, maybe if there are less olduns in there client list they can start on the younger ones sooner? I am in my 50's and have my jab tomorrow but my wife who is the same age has not even had a text and she is registered at the same doctors.

The thing that is worrying me is the amount of events for younger people that now seem to be going ahead in the summer and they are unlikely to have had the jab, yes I get it that they are unlikely to die but maybe the economy is more important than a few dying?

A good friend of mine who is in event organisation is on his knees, he hasnt worked for over a year and has had little help from the goverment.

When I got there a large part of the car park reserved for Covid vaccinations and another sign saying it’s FREE !
All went smoothly and second jab arranged mid May !
I had a letter last week to book to go to Elland Road for my jab, I booked in for Sat and the whole thing was so well organised. They did tell me that as I had the antibodies in my blood already them my reaction to the jab could be increased. How right they were, it was just like having man flu for 48 hours. All seems back to normal now. 2nd jab mid May.

How did they know you already had antibodies?

Had some bloods taken back in August last year whilst undergoing some other bi annual tests (One of the benefits of getting older) and they actually wrote to me and my GP to confirm their presence.

I access my GP on line nowadays and all test results are there.

The background of how I have been exposed to the virus is well documented on here as my wife is a nurse.

How do you feel as restrictions are eased? Sadly, as much as I too want a hug, need to see my family and have to deal with a funeral a good distance away, I fear that we will see a resurgence of the virus. I passed a pub today, they have a marquee set up in front. It was heaving with scores of people shoulder to shoulder. I couldn't get on my intended bus, no, I did not want to get on as there were a couple of dozen passengers already on - limit is fourteen. Perhaps it is me, but still be wary.

Default Really people never learn

Get ready for the 4th lockdown it's not far away. What do they not understand about distance and masks ?
