"Op to be fair most vaccines take a long time to be truly tested in my opinion I think every government is clutching at straws as to weather this will truly have a long term affect personally after reading the ingredients used in the 2 vaccinations being used i wouldn't give myself as a guinea-pig but I can understand the vulnerable wanting to take it I've already had covid once and its not nice but at the same time I feel I could fight it off again if needed " Which ingredients put you off ? | |||

Keep your fingers crossed we don't get too many mutations in the meantime... | |||

They don't know if you will get it or not if you're vaccinated. But most people in the trials never even tested postive even following exposure so I read. | |||

They are not just giving it to people because they happen to be there. There is still a shortage so the vulnerable are being prioritised. You may have got it because you are a carer but it wouldn't have been just because you were there. | |||

I can confirm that you can test positive after receiving the vaccine. My friend had the vaccine 16 days ago and tested positive on Saturday. He's not got any symptoms though, he gets tested weekly as he's a carer. | |||

"I had a small procedure in hospital today and the doctor told me that so far in this hospital only front line NHS staff aged over 50 have been vaccinated. Seems weird it was randonly offered to a 34 year old. " It's different in different areas because of the volume of vaccine that's been distributed to different areas. My 89yo Grandad in the Lake District hasn't had any info about the vaccine and his GP told him yesterday (during a routine appointment) that no vaccine had been sent up that way yet. | |||

The COVID-19 vaccination works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick. So I guess that's partly true....less sick people equals less hospitalisation... | |||

"I am 40 years old and had my 1st vaccine on New Years Eve. 2nd one is due 21st of this month. I received a text message from my doctors surgery about a week before asking for people who would like the vaccine and work in healthcare or social care to call and arrange. I work at a Dental Practice and was accepted to receive it. When I was sat for the 15 minute observation time I expressed my surprise at being offered it so soon as I didnt know of anyone else at that time that had received it. I was informed that there is an element of 'luck' involved as when a batch is ready to go calls are made to see who and where, which surgery etc is capable of taking it and administrating it. Not sure how much of that was dumbed down for me LOL but that's my experience. I read somewhere, possibly on here, that if people fta then the dosage gets wasted. The person in question called up on the day and was able to receive the vaccine as there was some available and no there was no point in letting it go to waste. I can't recall if the person was in healthcare or not. I just hope to get back to the pubs and clubs as soon as possible. I bloody miss them! " The Oxford vaccine is being done at doctors surgeries but the one that was available for was only for health care home workers and front line staff or the over 80's so I don't understand how you were able to jump the queue. If these two cases are correct and true then I have to say this is very worrying indeed. Its being prioritised for a reason and shouldn't be if you happen to be in the right place at the right time. | |||

"Also I have to say I am exceptionally surprised that your doctor surgery contacted you because it is local health Authority that decided who got contacted not individual doctors surgeries." Our docs surgery put out an announcement on the website today saying they (the GP surgery), will be contacting eligible people for vaccination, starting Thursday. | |||

"I can only assume that they classed dealing with patients and decon at the practice as eligible as I was booked in by the doctors surgery to attend the practice where the vaccinations were taking place. I have since found out that my neighbour who is a care worker also received the message from the doctors as did other patients of the same surgery asking people to call if they wished to receive it. Of which they did on the same day as myself. It was the pitzfer one that was being administered. Obviously in an ideal world there would be a way of ensuring every single person of higher risk received it first and although surprised myself I wouldn't class it as jumping any queue. As I see it I was offered it, booked in for it and have now been vaccinated. The more people that have the jab when offered, the better. There were several surgeries operating in the area that day. It would be daft and irresponsible to be given the chance and turn it down. Like I said I don't know all the ins and outs, other than what I previously stated I was told when there, with regards to how it is doled out between surgeries etc but that is how it worked for me. I'm guessing logistically it is almost impossible to get a drug that has to be stored in such a way to where it needs to be the most with the people who need it the most all in the same place at the same time. Thankfully this won't be the same with the Oxford batches. It feels good to know that things will be taking a turn for the better, hopefully sooner rather than later as we have been in strict restrictions here for the majority of the time. It's reassuring to know that many people in the local area will have had the jab. Fingers crossed everyone who needs and wants to have it done will soon with the roll out of the Oxford one and the madness that has been 2020 and the start of 2021 can come to an end. " I don't understand your point because you say the how do doctors surgeries know who their vulnerable patients are? They know who on their books are over 80 and other than care home staff should have been the only people that have received it I find it exceptionally worrying that it is just being handed out to anyone that asks. | |||

"My surgery know my age and medical history obviously but didn't know what work I did before I returned the call so I assume it will be the same for other patients there. How could they find all eligible workers without sending a blanket message out asking for people to respond to it? The message went out to all at the surgery and people who could prove they were eligible with regards to the work they did were booked in. It specifically asked for healthcare and socialcare workers. Perhaps they had previously sent an earlier message to the vulnerable people on their books from the area, booked them all in and had enough to schedule others in from the same batch rather than it going to waste so sent out the message I received. As I say I don't know how it all came into place and I'm just taking a guess at what may have occurred. " Surely you can understand why people are sceptical. | |||

Which also happens to be a vaccine hub for the surrounding area because it's within a polyclinic. He was booked to get it via his own GP reception staff who phoned. | |||

But again in my Grandad's area, we're talking little tiny old Victorian village schools with narrow corridors and a small school hall. There's no large state school immediately nearby either. There's a decent size private one...... Rural villages will have to be done either by individual GP surgeries or something similar. Bearing in mind that not every village has its own GP clinic anymore either. | |||

"I had a small procedure in hospital today and the doctor told me that so far in this hospital only front line NHS staff aged over 50 have been vaccinated. Seems weird it was randonly offered to a 34 year old. " Two family members are under 30 and they’ve both had theirs. Both in the NHS, one works with a group that can’t be vaccinated. The op may have just been in the right place at the right time, as people don’t turn up for appointments and as the vaccine has to be used quickly once opened, they do look for other candidates. It would normally be other staff, but he may have just been lucky. | |||

There's going to HAVE to be a different approach up there. I can't remember which politician it was but I heard Them say on the news today that as schools are closed particularly in rural areas they could be used as vaccine hubs and actually I would say that it's quite a good call. But again in my Grandad's area, we're talking little tiny old Victorian village schools with narrow corridors and a small school hall. There's no large state school immediately nearby either. There's a decent size private one...... Rural villages will have to be done either by individual GP surgeries or something similar. Bearing in mind that not every village has its own GP clinic anymore either. I wonder what the plan for such areas is? Maybe it will be some sort of mobile unit you know like they do some screening clinics in. " Yes, mobile things would make sense. There's a few larger supermarkets but you'd struggle to take over their car parks with marquees and we don't want to freeze the over 80s to death. I think it'll be individual GP surgeries doing as they do for the flu clinics - opening Saturdays and Sundays and doing smaller numbers each day. Should be ok with the Oxford jab because it needs similar storage to flu jabs. | |||

"As i look after my older family members. I took one of them to get there 2nd vaccine today and got offered my first vaccine which i took. Anyone on here Pro/Anti Vaccine? N does this mean i can swing again soon lol Why were you offered it? Your profile says you are 34 years old? Don’t believe the op for a second Whilst im sceptical about the OP's claim, age actually doesn't have anything to do with it. I'm 37 and have been to told to expect the vaccine within 6 weeks. There are many reasons a younger person May be given the vaccine." I'm 28 and I've had my first dose. | |||

"Also I have to say I am exceptionally surprised that your doctor surgery contacted you because it is local health Authority that decided who got contacted not individual doctors surgeries. Our docs surgery put out an announcement on the website today saying they (the GP surgery), will be contacting eligible people for vaccination, starting Thursday." My doctors surgery contacted us about having the vaccine too | |||

"I had a small procedure in hospital today and the doctor told me that so far in this hospital only front line NHS staff aged over 50 have been vaccinated. Seems weird it was randonly offered to a 34 year old. Two family members are under 30 and they’ve both had theirs. Both in the NHS, one works with a group that can’t be vaccinated. The op may have just been in the right place at the right time, as people don’t turn up for appointments and as the vaccine has to be used quickly once opened, they do look for other candidates. It would normally be other staff, but he may have just been lucky." That seems crazy, if there isn't enough to go round they should still be trying to vaccinate vulnerable people, not just anybody who happens to be there. | |||

N does this mean i can swing again soon lol Why were you offered it? Your profile says you are 34 years old? If he was there they might as well give the vaccine, the more the better , think everyone who visits a doctor or dentist should get one , your there , they can inject you , would get more people done quicker this way I have to say I am surprised you offered it in this way. They are not just giving it to people because they happen to be there. There is still a shortage so the vulnerable are being prioritised. You may have got it because you are a carer but it wouldn't have been just because you were there." I had it on NYE. There was a surplus at the local hub, I got a phone call and was there in 15mins. If they'd had a surplus when OPs relative had it, it's likely that happened exactly as OP reported. | |||

"Op to be fair most vaccines take a long time to be truly tested in my opinion I think every government is clutching at straws as to weather this will truly have a long term affect personally after reading the ingredients used in the 2 vaccinations being used i wouldn't give myself as a guinea-pig but I can understand the vulnerable wanting to take it I've already had covid once and its not nice but at the same time I feel I could fight it off again if needed " And breathe!!! | |||

I know for a fact, some people with vaccine appointments are not turning up, so the designated vaccines should be offered to anyone who brings a vulnerable person for theirs. Makes a lot of sense in my opinion. | |||

The delay between the second dose at the moment has nothing to do with effectiveness but to do with vaccinating more people quickly!! As 1 jab will offer SOME protection. | |||

We're not clear if it's on or not, he's had no word from his surgery so he's going to turn up and hope for the best!" I was because some of my colleagues had theirs cancelled that were due after mine. I had booked mine for exactly 21 days after dose 1. The advice at present is if you don't hear turn up as normal | |||

"Im 32 and I've had mine but im in priority 1 because I work in care. I had mine done week 1 so I've been lucky enough to have both doses. But now they say the vaccine is more effective when waiting longer for 2nd jab so maybe you are not so lucky as you think. Not for the Pfizer one, there's no such evidence.

"I’ve had my vaccine due to working in the NHS and it’s now 12 weeks until I get the second vaccine, apparently you can go that long between jabs, also they are wanting to get as many people vaccinated before the second jab so we’ve been told ! Never heard someone being offered it on the spot thou !" If you had the Oxford one, then there is data to support that 12wk gap. But there's not for the Pfizer one, unfortunately. | |||

I'm really irritated by the policy with the Pfizer one because there's genuinely no evidence for what we're doing and the data from the NEJM paper has been misrepresented (I've read it thoroughly). I'm more concerned about the delay in elderly people because their immune response is going to be weaker anyway, so the longer between doses, the less likely that the first vaccine will "last" long enough to allow the second to boost the antibody response. Perhaps in younger people it'd be okay, but it's mainly been given to the over 80s. | |||

All our patients are getting the vaccine due to their immune system and we are urging them to have it, it’s the Oxford one which I’m happy about....... I totally get that people have opinions about all this and I never argue as I value peoples choices | |||

"Op to be fair most vaccines take a long time to be truly tested in my opinion I think every government is clutching at straws as to weather this will truly have a long term affect personally after reading the ingredients used in the 2 vaccinations being used i wouldn't give myself as a guinea-pig but I can understand the vulnerable wanting to take it I've already had covid once and its not nice but at the same time I feel I could fight it off again if needed Which ingredients put you off ? I'd also like to know this. I posted the full ingredients to bother the BioNTech/Pfizer and Oxford/AZ vaccines on here the other day. There's absolutely nothing of concern in either product. Did you mention the micro chip? "It’s not the microchip that bothers me really - it is the bloody big battery I have to carry around to keep it charged!!!! | |||

"So as mentioned i had my vaccine yesterday and it seems to of caused some uproar. I asked my mates wife who is a nurse why i would have been of offered it. She said. As the vaccine has to be refrigerated and kept at a certain temperature and they must use up all vaccines in storage. I would of been offered it due to being a career but from 4pm onwards most places are offering vaccines to make sure they are used up. When i arrived at 3pm it was quiet by time i left at 4.30 the queue went around the corner." I think the reason people are sceptical is because this seems to be quite a unique situation and you followed it up by asking if you could swing again. | |||

If it's towards the end of the day and doses are about to expire. The Pfizer vaccine doesn't last very long once removed from the freezer. Better to give it someone lower down the list than waste it completely. Where I work we have the benefit of always having NHS staff on site to take up vaccines about to expire but I imagine other vaccine sites don't have the same benefit. | |||

No they can't but he was there and they obviously had surplus. I doubt it's a daily occurance. Over the Christmas period they struggled to get it all used at our vaccine site. Seems a lot of people weren't turning up. If they started ringing around they'd likely end up having to bin it before most people could get there. | |||
