sidcow Posted March 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 The number of second doses has not topped a million and the numbers of second doses issued each day are increasing exponentially. Yesterday was 70,206, almost double what they were doing last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2021 People now aged 56 and above can book a vaccine online, not been announced publically but it is on the website. They've shortened the age band by a year meaning I have to wait until the last day of the month - Grrrrrrrrrrr! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to pick up drastically after easter, though, but for now we are seeing spikes in cases and hospitalisations, and likely increased nationwide restrictions rather than opening back up. I’ve said it before, but it’s really f***ing depressing that this is all we’ve got a full year into this crap. Norway closed on March 12th 2020. That’s a week from a year ago. It's a **** joke to be honest. Locked down for a year for a virus, although dangerous, does not justify such heavy handed and long restrictions. Completely failure of governance all round. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 Anyone know which vaccine they have at Edgbaston Cricket ground? It appears I am now on the booking site, I assume because of Diabetes. I would rather Pfizer I think as it's been tested as reasonably effective against the newer variants. I'm not sure that's entirely been tested by AZ yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 Anyone go to Villa Park? They seem to have more/earlier appointments there. How long did it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 Surprised by your wait times. I had mine done at a local hotel, and I walked in at the appointed time, was jabbed and out again. No waiting at all. Discounting the unnecessary 'wait for reaction' afterwards, the whole thing was done and dusted in five minutes, tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AVFC_Hitz Posted March 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2021 My side effects from the Moderna disappeared over night. Just a question. Now that I'm vaccinated can I go back to gently lowering my balls onto cash machine keypads? I only ask because the security guard at my local bank was still acting strange. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) It looks like @rjw63and @Holte_end_hero@holteendherohave used Villa Park vaccination centre.

Got to go myself next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteendhero Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I was in and out at Villa park within 25 mins, that includes a 15 minute wait after the jab and having to give my details twice due to the first person not saving them correctly. Really well organised and laid out and enough bays to do 30 injections at a time. Lots of good cleaning practices in place as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 A mate of mine has his jab next Saturday. 45 and no health concerns. Seems rather quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The wife seems to be unlucky with her side effects, the sickness and stuff only lasted the 1 day but her arm is still really sore and tender. It’s very red around the injection site (about the size of a 50p). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
