Following on from what I posted about the current Funeral arrangements that I see in my part time work for one of our local Funeral Directors I would add that the tail end of last year we lost our Step Dad, my mother and my mother in law, not to Covid and all not unduly expected given their ages and states of health. However all caught up in the Covid situation regarding funerals and its all been very sad to have to have such a subdued farewell with so few being able to attend to say that final farewell, no chance of meeting up after for a traditional Wake where we could speak with family and freinds over refreshments. The sadest being a graveside only service with so many family and freinds unable to attend. When the Covid situation is over we are planning to hold a lunch for family and freinds so we can at least have the opportunity to remember the ones we lost with everyone together.

Sounds like the right thing to do.

An 82 year old relative has been given a date to receive the jab, lives in Stafford and been told to go to one of the new large hubs at either Birmingham, Manchester or Peterborough, he's not happy and doesn't want to travel so far has contacted his Counsellor who has gone away and found out if your not happy you can postpone the jab for somewhere nearer. I get the impression these large venue hubs have been set up to do as many people as fast as possible but what hasn't been considered is how on earth are elderly people who probably don't drive, petrified of using public transport are expected to get there, also ironic they are trying to do the most vulnerable first and inviting them to highly populated places with high levels of Covid cases

I think the news this AM said that if you can’t travel to one of the hubs you would get seen by your local GP whenever they set up their vaccination programme - clearly though it would not be “soon”.

With all the rise in hospital admissions, has anyone taken the time to check what the instances of people with flu are? Are they somehow, miraculously, at zero, or thereabouts?
Let's check....

I don't understand why my daughter is getting the jab today when the lady next door, who is 90, hasn't been called for it yet.

it is driven by the local GP surgery, so if they are not organised people slip through the net.

My mother in law is 81, and her GP organised it fine and she only has to go to a local-ish drive through centre.

OMG - you must be so old!!!! ldman:

Is she not classed as 'front line' - and dealing with mothers who have not had the jab?

Yes, she is a 23 year old midwife. But I fail see why her having the jab instead of a 90 year gives us. As I think most understand it is that the jab will not prevent one catching it or passing it on. Statistically, at 23 she is low risk. In fact she had Covid back in April with very mild symptoms.

If the centre giving the vaccine has a few non turn ups or a surplus left over after the days jabs have finished as far as the numbers they expect in that day then they can call up others or back ups to have the jab when not in line so to speak. It’s all about not wasting the vaccine.

John, this is what I got told when I was at the doctor the other day. I was given a projected date of mid February but they get the vaccine in batches of set amounts and if they get no shows or cancellations I might get a phone call to go up and get it early to use the spares up.

Was also told it’ll be the Oxford one as most smaller/rural practices don’t have the correct storage facilities for the Pfizer one

Yep no point in wasting it is there Andy.

I’m assuming we’ll get the Oxford one here too, rural Derbyshire, although we’re only 12 miles from Sheffield and Chesterfield so who knows..? I don’t give a chuff....just get the thing in my arm ASAP..... :lol:

I have heard that John though I don't think this is the case here.

If people don't turn up they offer it to the GP practice staff.
