Covid vaccine confusion

My daughter 26 healthy no under lying health issues just been contacted by our Doctors and offered vaccine. So she says why am I being offered before my parents, (the wife's 54 and has a heart condition I'm 53 and a fatty) so they say your on the list they aren't yet. So she asks why whats wrong with me that makes me more of a priority than my parents they couldn't answer so my daughter asks can one of my parents have it instead of me because I'd prefer they have it first. The answer was no. It makes no sense at all perfectly health 26 year old no health concerns as been working from home for 12 months because she can is offered vaccine but her 50 odd year old parents with under lying issues who are going to work every day can't have it even though she wants one of us to have instead of her. Utter nonsense.

 

There may well be some errors, she should just take the appointment. I think surgeries haven't got the time to sort these things out, given that we will all get the vaccination at some point.

 

Ironically she can't have when they want her to after all because when she's due her second jab we are hopefully in Cornwall on holiday if Boris allows us to.

 

If she's offered it then she should take it. It all adds up towards herd immunity. I don't think you can gift your slot to someone else. You should get your own jab pretty soon anyroads up.

 

She’ll be able to change the 2nd appointment later

 

Seems to be an unreasonable attitude adopted by the surgery, but I agree with the other answers, she should take it and I wouldn't worry about being able to have the second dose, she'll get it at some point if she can't make the appointment.

 

It's a complete bolloxup. We have people who are invited to their local surgery who don't seem to fit the criteria whilst those that do are having to travel miles out of town to get theirs.
But never mind we are giving somebody a needle.

 

I heard about someone being offered the jab a few weeks ago. 36, fit and healthy, no underlying health issues.

It transpired that his doctors surgery had his height down as 6inch rather than 6ft. With him being 16 stone, according to the BMI index, he was clinically overweight.

 

They had his height as 6.2cm. Was all over the media.

 

Ah, I'd heard about it on a podcast, and they were sketchy about the details

 

I think his BMI was in the thousands, amazing that no one had questioned it.

 

Anomalies like this will happen but it’s definitely the right thing to not allow people to ‘donate’ their slots.

 

Crikey , the whole nation has to be vaccinated , its a logistical nightmare & there are bound to be some errors but we have to find fault with everything don"t we , personally I think everyone who is involved in this roll out are doing a fantastic job & are to be applauded

 

I might have questioned his height before I did the BMi calculation. Unless his surname was Pepperpot.

 

Or Thumb!

 

Tempted to go to the doctors with weights strapped to my legs and see if I can get my vaccine!

(Joking of course. Despite my personal circumstances and health issues meaning that I would absolutely love me and my wife to get vaccinated, we both work from home so I’m more than happy to wait.)

 

I'm 62. Received a letter. Went on website booked next Saturday morning and 1st June at Sheff arena.

The good lady wife who's not quite 60 received a letter a week later went on website booked Saturday rnorning after and June at Wakefield.

We have a car so the travel is no problem to us and both journeys are under 30mins.

If the vacination process is handled as well as the booking then we'll be happy with it.

As Red CB posted it's the whole adult population that needs to be vacinated and that's no mean feat.

 

The last national flu immunisation programme was designed to offer 30 million jabs between September and November last year. When it comes to Covid, I was fully expecting to get my jab at my local surgery like my flu jab but I had to travel out of town to get it (when we are supposed to reducing our travel). When local surgeries and pharmacies are capable of achieving , why the unnecessary travel?. Whilst having my jab in Wakefield, the nurse said it seemed that the whole of Barnsley was attending that day. If there were that many, then why were they not done in Barnsley?

 

R lass has to re book her appointment because she has missed her first jab appointment, She hasn't had a first appointment.

 

As far as we can see, Barnsley isn't available online for some reason.
