Kingman Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 So we are seeing the % for hospital admissions and deaths reduced for under 70's who have had initial injection Anyone aware if the same % study has been carried on the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable with underlying conditions with regards to hospital admissions and deaths?

Genie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 My wife (37) has been asked to have hers. She was recently diagnosed as potentially having mild asthma. I guess they are getting well down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sid4ever Posted February 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2021 My lad (24), probably lurking on here, gets his on Saturday. Born with heart issues operated on at 3 weeks old to repair. Not stopped him doing anything. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowandlow Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Seems to be pot luck tbh. If you get tipped off at the right time or phone up on the off chance and get lucky you seem to be able to get the vaccine irrespective of the various levels/cohorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wonder whether having potentially millions of people phoning GPs' surgeries on the off-chance they might be able to jump the queue is the best use of their resources.

Genie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 My wife could only book next Thursday (they lad lots of slots). Supports the theory that different doctors surgery’s have different days allocated to them at the vaccination centre. It could be my wife’s doctors surgery is well down the list of their patients now. Whereas the surgery next door has much more older people still to clear.

That all depends on if the reduction slows due to mutations spreading etc. But I can see the 8th March back to school being a bit of a lockdown reduction fanfare too. The above chart was done with data up until 4th Feb. The projected date of reaching zero daily deaths was 6th March. This is how it's actually happened. I can't get over how linear it is and how close to the original trend line it is. It's come forward a couple of days which means the rate of decrease is speeding up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
