Probably and rightly so you are front line dealing with the vulnerable. Old friends (and I mean old- 90 and 88) are having their jabs on Wednesday at Crossfield Hall, Romsey.
Ladyslowlane is semi-vulnerable (MS) but has heard nothing yet but I suspect ourā€™s will be early New Year.

My Dad had his yesterday at Totton AFC, Salisbury Road. Said it was very well organised and was back home 30 mins later

yep, that doesnā€™t seem very fair and right.

My partnerā€™s brotherā€™s father in law is having his (over 80s with some underlying issues) and thatā€™s because they chased up the GP surgery. So maybe worth it. A friend who works in a surgery has suggested I ask if dad can have one before he is released from hospital.

50-50 chance as Iā€™ve been taking part in a vaccine trialā€¦

If the jab gave you an aching arm thereā€™s a very good chance you had the vaccine. The Ache doesnā€™t actually come from the jab itself but the action of the vaccine producing an antibody responseā€¦the vaccine doing itā€™s job.

Your two responses mean youā€™ve had the vaccine. Did they tell you which vaccine e.g. Oxford/Astrazenica?

I kept meaning to sign up for being a guinea pig for that. Sounds like you did have it. Men always come first eh.

Funnily enough I did a silly online when are you likely to get a vaccine and it said between 22nd Dec and 18th Jan. I said that was quite optimistic. Turns out I was wrong.

Baz will be on later complaining that it unfair that London got it first and that the North are always over looked by Westminster
