We apologise for any inconvenience. You are currently booked in at Villa Park - Holte Suite between 29 March and 23 April. Unfortunately we are now unable to vaccinate you here and would ask you to rebook your appointment at either Millennium Point or Edgbaston Cricket Ground where there are available appointments slots to ensure you get your vaccine. It sounds like an issue with Villa Park, not Vaccine supply at least. Have you managed to rebook yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Is it potentially the case that in England they need to make sure that if there’s a restriction in supply then there are sufficient doses for the 3 month 2nd jab that is rolling around? A little bit of temporary rationing of first doses. Just a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a big ask if there is going to be a reduction in supply over the next month. One of the reasons there is a reduction in supply is because they are holding them back for second jabs. It's not so much of a reduction in supply ad not getting the extra supplies we were expecting so what we get is mainly for second jabs. Most of the big uplift we've seen in the last 2 weeks has been due to "extra" jabs from India which were supposed to be 10m but reduced to 5m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2021 One of the reasons I wanted to go to my GP and not a major center was due to 2nd Jab. At least I know where I will be going. I ways thought Villa would want The Holte Suite back at some point and I wonder what Warwickshire will do when the cricket season reopens, although unless it's England or 20/20 there's generally only one man and his dog there.

sidcow Posted March 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56521166 Covid vaccine: AstraZeneca updates US vaccine efficacy results Quote AstraZeneca has updated the efficacy result of its coronavirus vaccine trial in the US, after health officials insisted they wanted to include the latest information. The Anglo-Swedish firm has now adjusted the efficacy rate of its vaccine from 79% to 76%. Further data from the US trial showed efficacy among the over 65s rose from 80% to 85%. Quote After the initial release of data the company received a highly unusual public rebuke from independent scientists overseeing the trial, who said the company may have given "outdated information" that gave an "incomplete view" of the vaccine's effectiveness. Quote It is now clear that the numbers have not moved by much and it begs the question why such a row over data was not conducted in private. AstraZeneca has risked reputational damage as a result of the public ticking off and senior figures are privately dismayed by the row. So why didn't AstraZeneca simply wait? I'm told that the company felt a duty to publish results on Monday as soon as the agreed threshold of cases had been passed. A key reason was that there was a specific analysis showing there were no safety issues regarding blood clots. Given that a few EU countries are still not using the vaccine because of concerns over clots, this information would provide reassurance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you managed to rebook yet? After a really promising start expectations were raised at how many people they could do. General fatigue and losing some key members of staff have lead to a big slump in the recent performance. Whilst it’s disappointing that they’re not doing quite as well with vaccinations currently they are ahead of where they expected to be at this stage due to the early form. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 MPs vote to extend emergency coronavirus powers for another 6 months. Another surprising result considering all restrictions are being removed in June... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted March 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2021 I personally don't think it is that surprising. They still can't predict the impact of new variants and are keeping the powers in place in case they need to slam on the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the promise of all restrictions being lifted by June 21st is classic Boris over promising which he’ll almost certainly under deliver on. It looks like they’re already planning for it. Furlough and their emergency powers run to end of September, at least. Talk that earliest international holidays pushed back from 12th May to end of June is the first to go.
