I think it’s becoming obvious to me now, the political double speak is back. I can’t remember if it was Boris or Hancock, saying all “over 70s” will be offered the vaccine by mid February. Well, they may be Offered the vaccine, but that doesn’t mean the over70s will actually be given the vaccine by mid February. My Mrs received the letter on Tuesday, first jab on 29th Jan, so far so good. I’m still waiting for an invitation for my first jab. Other family members tell me when they try booking a jab, there are no available dates for Wakefield, try again in a few days. I’ll let you know how long before I receive an invitation for the jab. I’m not holding my breath.

I've not had an invitation yet. My 93 year old motber had her injection yesterday.

Tell ya family members and for anyone else having difficulties go online at midnight seems to be quicker that way

To be fair on Boris and I know it's tempting not to be, he's going to always give the lowest estimate. So if it goes badly he did warn us or if it goes better than predicted it makes him look even better. It's what anyone would do if we are honest, especially when he himself probably can't be certain.

He has to be smart here because if the vaccination project goes to plan or better it may well save his premiership. Truth is it's not how you start it's how you finish and if we finish Covid quicker than everyone else that is what most will remember.

Remember countries like France, Germany and Italy can't fabricate their figures forever, at some point wave two will catch up with them and they may well end up with far more death than us. That's not pro-Brexit crowing, by the way, I genuinely hope it doesn't but the EU's response is a shambles. worse than ours and Covid doesn't follow EU guidelines.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Also don't be too [olite to ask, my mum did and beat the deadline for the second jab - just.

Got my jab this morning, booked in for the second jab 2 weeks tomorrow.

I got the Oxford/AstraZeneca one and not going to lie, it has left me feeling slightly unwell (Probably me just been soft, I am sure Try scorer would be right in this case ) as it has quite a few of my colleagues, nothing too major though!

I'm 66 and clinically vulnerable

Your assumptions were correct Vastman! Although now getting to that point where I may no longer deemed to be "Young"! I still class myself as so! On a separate note, I think we do naturally have our own idea in our heads of who is behind the usernames on here, I have met with a couple from this forum in the past, one which I got completely wrong and another who is a slightly odd character (Mentioning no names ). But it`s funny how we do perceive posters based on what they write on a forum.

I work for the NHS so it was a mandatory for me to have the vaccination as soon as I could really,

You may get a call soon but it's worth ringing your GP in case they have any spare jabs at the end of the day. I think after last weeks storm about jabs being binned it's been relaxed. Depends on your GP I suppose.

As for the clinically vulnerable, that's a bit muddy I must admit. My sister in law is a shielder and is 57 but they say it's not enough to get her to the top, can't work that one out myself, to be honest,

See leeds have hzd close there training facilities due to covid

Vaccination due this Saturday at Sandal RU Club after being notified today. . Somewhat earlier than I expected I must admit.

My brother who is in his seventies has had his date brought forward 3 times apparently because they are delivering the vaccine much quicker than anticipated so it's certainly gathering pace. Fingers crossed it continues.
