"So this really is giving false hope. Scotland think they are doing well when moving so fast down the ages when in reality so many have been missed." I dont think that's the case one regional area might have more 80s & over than another regional area therefor it will take longer to vaccinate everyone . Also as has been said different regional areas are not rolling out the vaccine at the same pace | |||

"Are Scotland lagging behind?." All 80’s will be vaccinated by the end of the first week in February. Some will decline, and the BBC will manage to find Karen’s mum has been missed though | |||

"My mum is 81 and heard nothing and neither have her over 80yr old friends but Nicola is now saying they are onto the 70year olds. What is going on?. Are Scotland lagging behind?." Who knows what goes on in her head anymore. Don’t even think she knows. My job requires me to go into all sorts of houses dealing with all sorts of people and yet we are way down the list, if we’re even on it, yet security guards and various office based jobs have all received it before 1, your mum and 2, frontline responders. It’s an absolute joke. I’ve voted SNP for the last time, her constant indyref chat on top of the absolute farce that this covid situation has turned out... no faith anymore. | |||

" You’ve never voted SNP If you voted for them then you’d know they kinda like to talk about and deliver independence. Scotland had as little as 2 deaths in the summer but the UK govt allowed our airports, ports etc to remain open. We’re surrounded by water, how have other islands faired so much better ? | |||

"Calamity Jeanne claims that the roll out of the vaccine has not been delayed. The hold up is due the lack of blue envelopes that are available. Still look on the bright side. Scotland’s vaccine roll out could have been a whole lot worse if still in the EU. Perhaps there was method in the SNPs madness in voting for a no deal Brexit. " Yes, it COULD have been IF Scotland was still in the EU AND Scotland had taken part in the EU's joint vaccine procurement scheme. However, no EU member was obliged to join the scheme so perhaps check your facts before commenting. | |||

She had similar powers to enforce minimum pricing on the sale alcohol , so yes she could have prevented "eat out" rules but why would she . We know she doesn't have a crystal ball just like the UK government doesn't have a crystal ball on every decision either. My point is you can't pick and choose the fuckups that support your own agenda you simply have to accept No country has got it right including Scotland. | |||

There will be another strain along any minute and they will need to start new vacine treatments for them next anyways . It is here to stay in some form or another just like the flu. Time to say enough is enough and get the country moving again. | |||

" She has powers to enforce minimum pricing on the sale alcohol thanks to the The Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012. What gives her the power to tell a business that they can't claim money from the UK government? I have cast no opinion on Scotland's handling of the pandemic. I am pointing out that your comment was possibly something the NS had absolutely no control over. | |||

You do realise that if you limit the spread of the virus it will mutate less? | |||

"How low can this nasty piece of work go. She is now threatening to reveal the volume of vaccine supplies which could very well disrupt the roll out here in the U.K. As if she hasn’t got enough blood on her hands already, if she does indeed go ahead then she’ll have a hell of a lot more. This creature doesn’t care about anyone apart from herself. She’s more interested in covering up her and Peters corruption and cosying up the bullying bureaucrats in Brussels rather than getting the virus under controls and vaccine rolled out." The tories asked for data, Nicola publishes data, the tories ask for its removal because it clearly shows the ineptitude of the UK’s (england) vaccine stocks. The tories and Labour then claim scotland is lagging behind and Nicola says fuck off then the data will be available again next week. Scotland is behind England ... except in vaccinating care homes ... and death rate ... and transmission rate ... in other words all of the key areas. | |||

"Expecting the most vulnerable group to travel out with their council area in the height of a pandemic is preposterous." And meanwhile 83yr old MrX who lives minutes away is still waiting for his vaccine. | |||

"This must be a mistake surely. If not it is just thoughtless. I know people in Ek who are 80+ and not been vaccinated yet." As was discussed on your last post each council area will have their own set up for dealing with this ! A lot of things don't make sense but its how they are doing it and thats it!..we just need to wait until its our turn whenever that may be | |||

"I’ve voted SNP for the last time, her constant indyref chat on top of the absolute farce that this covid situation has turned out... no faith anymore. You’ve never voted SNP If you voted for them then you’d know they kinda like to talk about and deliver independence. Scotland had as little as 2 deaths in the summer but the UK govt allowed our airports, ports etc to remain open. We’re surrounded by water, how have other islands faired so much better ? How do you know who I’ve voted and haven’t?? Off yer high horse and take the sturgeon tinted glasses off. It’s fairly obvious. I’m sure others will concur " I too voted snp and accepted the no vote I will not vote for them again, a second indépendance vote is not what is needed we need stability, economic recovery health and education boosted not ploughing resources J to a farcical second inderef | |||

"These are anything but normal times ... they are offering more vaccines to try and get them done quicker, is it good it’s out of area? Absolutely not! Is it good all the people in this category haven’t been done in their local authority already? Again absolutely not! Not everyone will have a bubble, not everyone will be able to travel but some will and will be more than happy to. If it were my parents I would drive them the length of the country, again I appreciate not everyone would or can but surely for the ones that can this can only be a good thing!! I just want to point out at this stage before I’m accused of being an SNP supporter I’m not but as they are currently leading our country and making the decisions whether we like it or not ANY attempt to offer more vaccines has to be welcomed. " I totally agree with everything uve said here. They are only trying their best to give everyone this opportunity but of course it won't suit everyone but like you if my parents were still alive I'd do anything I could to get them to that appointment | |||

"I'm pretty sure travelling to a place to get a vaccine, if you are eligible, would count as essential travel. There's a few places down south where taxi drivers are being community spirited, and transporting some of the elderly there for free. Maybe that'll catch on here too" yeah I think your allowed if its for medical reasons. I've saw a lot of posts on Facebook of people offering to take people to appointments too | |||

I can see from other responses on here that you just argue with anyone who doesn’t go along with your rhetoric. Quite sad really. People are allowed to have different views, and don’t need judged for it. Good day sir. " well said my thoughts as well plus he goes off the topic all the time with propaganda crap | |||

"Personally I think Nicola needs to put her money where her mouth is. An alignment with the vaccination program in the Eu being a priority. We should stop the Scottish vaccine process right away and sent our stocks down to Brussels. Long live the EU. " yup unfortunately even though we are behind the curve with UK figures we are way to far in front of the EU so we must stop vaccines and stand with our European overlords eh I mean countrymen eh eh eh I mean compatriots eh eh brothers and sisters of unity | |||

"Lots of blunders being made. My friends mum aged 78 has had her letter with her date to be vaccinated whereas her 82year old dad who lives in the same house is still waiting even though they have the same doctor." Has your friend or their dad contacted the surgery to enquire about getting the jag. A friend hadn’t heard so she spoke to her surgery and they organised for her to get it this morning. She’s 94 btw | |||

I called them as there is literally no where else to enquire, my mum who is in her 70s herself was on phone in tears to me and had phoned twice this week and they just kept saying it’s not them. Think the call was coincidence. He was also told last 8 days ago he was to get it last Monday so I’ll actually believe it when I’ve had my mum on the phone to tell me he’s had it! I’m first to big up nhs as we do our best but it’s failed so many in so ways during the last year. | |||

"I’m at wits end with vaccine stuff, my 80+ year old dad has quite a few health issues and is house bound with a package of care and nurses in daily, he got a call a week past Friday to say the community vaccination team would be there Monday (25th jan) to do his vaccine.... came to yesterday and no one had been. I called GP and let rip, they tried to absolve themselves saying house bound patients were being done by a separate team, that wasn’t washing with me. Told them he was their patient so it was their responsibility to sort it.... less than half an hour later he had a call to say he’d be done Monday coming, his name was on a list as having had his vaccine already but “there had obviously been a mistake” angry does not cover my feelings and I won’t be letting it lie believe you me. As for Edinburgh Lothian seems to be well behind, I know of several people (me included) who have done vaccination course so we could help at the mass vaccine centres and so far there is no way to sign up to do a shift there. Colleagues in glasgow started helping at Louisa Jordan more than a week ago! " Working in a vaccine centre, myself and a colleague could each easily see over 50 patients a day each. Total between us over 100. Visiting over 80s in own home. Travel, set up, jab, clean up, wait 15minutes, into car and onwards. Lucky to get 12 a day. New vaccinators are constantly joining rota but we are trickling them in to ensure proper inductions. Also constrained by amount of virus received. | |||

You claim 1.38million in care homes in Scotland. The entire population of Scotland is 5.45million. You are trying to say that a quarter of Scotland live in care homes? And you can't use figures when comparing different sizes of population. England is approximately 10 times as populous as Scotland. So if we used figures. If Scotland vaccinated 5.45million it would have vaccinated everyone. If England did the same amount, it would only be 1 in 10 of the population. | |||

Sorry I took figures from the wrong spread sheet There were 40,926 registered care home places available on 31 March 2017 95% 0f 40,926 =38879.7 approx vaccinated using 2017 figures Figures taken from https://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Health-and-Social-Community-Care/Publications/2018-09-11/2018-09-11-CHCensus-Report.pdf Approximately 418,000 people live in english care homes (Laing and Buisson survey 2016). This is 4% of the total population aged 65 years and over, rising to 15% of those aged 85 or more. Figures taken from https://www.mha.org.uk/news/policy-influencing/facts-stats/#:~:text=Approximately%20418%2C000%20people%20live%20in,the%20total%20care%20home%20population. 65% of 41800 =271700 approx in England using 2016 figures 95% 0f 40,926 =38879 approx in Scotland using 2017 figures Which means England vaccinated 178,821 more | |||

You claim 1.38million in care homes in Scotland. The entire population of Scotland is 5.45million. You are trying to say that a quarter of Scotland live in care homes? And you can't use figures when comparing different sizes of population. England is approximately 10 times as populous as Scotland. So if we used figures. If Scotland vaccinated 5.45million it would have vaccinated everyone. If England did the same amount, it would only be 1 in 10 of the population. Sorry I took figures from the wrong spread sheet There were 40,926 registered care home places available on 31 March 2017 95% 0f 40,926 =38879.7 approx vaccinated using 2017 figures Figures taken from https://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Health-and-Social-Community-Care/Publications/2018-09-11/2018-09-11-CHCensus-Report.pdf Approximately 418,000 people live in english care homes (Laing and Buisson survey 2016). This is 4% of the total population aged 65 years and over, rising to 15% of those aged 85 or more. Figures taken from https://www.mha.org.uk/news/policy-influencing/facts-stats/#:~:text=Approximately%20418%2C000%20people%20live%20in,the%20total%20care%20home%20population. 65% of 41800 =271700 approx in England using 2016 figures 95% 0f 40,926 =38879 approx in Scotland using 2017 figures Which means England vaccinated 178,821 more " the above should have read 65% of 418000 =271700 approx in England using 2016 figures | |||

" 65% of 41800 =271700 approx in England using 2016 figures 95% 0f 40,926 =38879 approx in Scotland using 2017 figures Which means England vaccinated 178,821 more " Which is why percentages are used in public health. It's nonsensical to directly compare total numbers in different sized populations when measuring effiency. | |||

"Scotlands vaccination programme isn't way behind,in fact it's better than England's. Our care homes have virtually all been vaccinated compared to England who are struggling to cope. London with a population similar to Scotland is the worst region in the UK for vaccinations. " 5.4million in Scotland 9.7million in London | |||

"I’ve voted SNP for the last time, her constant indyref chat on top of the absolute farce that this covid situation has turned out... no faith anymore. You’ve never voted SNP If you voted for them then you’d know they kinda like to talk about and deliver independence. Scotland had as little as 2 deaths in the summer but the UK govt allowed our airports, ports etc to remain open. We’re surrounded by water, how have other islands faired so much better ? " And confirm how many Scots took advantage of this and headed abroad? | |||

"Gotta love the snp diehards blind alligence. everyone apart from snp agrees scotlands rollout has been piss poor she's to busy conferring with vdl or bleating about indy 2 instead of actually do the job she's ment to do. On the plus side she's showing how unable her party is of governance" Indeed. The blind faith people show in this woman is concerning. Despite the continual.praise she gets from certain quarters she really hasn't done any better a job than Boris Johnson. I know being better than Boris and England is all these sorts care about but we really are in no better a position than them. I fear these folk are going to get their independence dream as they have been sucked in by this charlatan and then the shit will really hit our fans. | |||

What nauseating smugness you have. Completely unfounded too seeing you've had your referendum and lost and there isn't any sign of another. So absolutely no fear here fella, I sleep easy in my bed at night. Can you say the same or does the massive chip on your shoulder hinder you? | |||
