craigkillie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 4 minutes ago, Slacker said: From the BBC: We aim to complete first doses for everyone over 65 years old by the beginning of March, says Ms Sturgeon. She adds: "We aim to reach the whole of the JCVI priority list by early May." Then the rest of the adult population will follow thereafter. Does anyone know if they'll just open a booking system up to everyone else in May and it's a case of first come, first serve? So a healthy 18 year old could get theirs before a healthy 49 year old, for example? Or is it still to be rolled out by age once the priority list is complete? I would guess all the people outside of the priority list are essentially considered equal - I don't see why a 49 year-old would take precedence over an 18 year-old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Personally I think that all anti-vaxxers should be moved to their own separate colony on a remote island, maybe Ascension Island?Ascension is a bit busy though Maybe South Georgia? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'll probably get it, not a big fan of needles but I'm not anti vax, I wish they could have less invasive methods. One thing I'm curious is to how long you get immunity for, it's not something that I'd fancy getting every year but will happily close my eyes and get it done the once especially if I was to be put on some blacklist over not having one. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I volunteer for a food delivery programme which takes meals to vulnerable people, so I think I might get offered it fairly soon through that. When I do I will be straight down to the Louisa Jordan or wherever else at whatever time of the day they want me. There are obviously concerns about any new drug, but I trust the medical experts who have worked on these things and all the regulatory authorities to do their jobs properly. You should get it, im a carer too and have heard from the local authority so just waiting on an appointment. Its usually being arranged at council social work depts for care staff/non nhs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParsJake Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hoping to get mine fairly soon, work in a children's home so frontline worker. We're on standby for some "spare" vaccines in case they become available at short notice so if and when they do, I'll be there faster than a cheetah on roller skates. It's the first step out of this absolute shit-show. Unless there are medical reasons for refusing it then that's people's choice, but it's also my choice to think of them as an arsehole if they refuse it for no good reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alarming number of people in here have said "I don't bother with the flu jag every year and I'm fine".

I'd read somewhere that they were looking to develop a spray for COVID. I imagine a lot of people would be happy enough to take a spray over a vaccine. Immunity lasts at least 5 months, probably longer but we don't really know yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'll be honest..... ....if I could kick some random granny out of the way just to get mine, I would without even a second thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Obviously. I want this nightmare to end. I'm not necessarily worried about my own health but want it more to reduce any impact on my parents. Mum gets hers on Wednesday via her work in healthcare, dad will be longer though he's more at risk. Once he's jagged I'll feel more at ease tbh.

Empty It Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'll definitely be getting it although I understand why people that aren't anti vaxers would be apprehensive about it, no way can they know the long term side effects of the vaccine at this stage. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
