Uk Government Vaccine Plan

I'm a non-bitter Remainer too.

Someone give me a better title and I’ll repost it. I really, really think it would remove a lot of the anxiety and misunderstanding that’s on other vaccine threads.

Im trying to be helpful?

TBH People who are interested will read it. Those who still think "it's unfair" and don't appreciate what a huge job the roll-out is, will probably still moan.

You have been helpful Peasblossom.

Sigh. That’s what I mean about being dull.

A well written document about a well organised campaign gives me a real buzz ?

Now this could be construed as having a moan but I don't think anything factual that gets posted would stop the anxiety and misunderstanding.

I like a fact, I like the stats, as it makes me realise what needs to be done and contextualise the situation. I used to be a Project Manager, love a good plan. I've posted actual facts about things on Gransnet that just get ignored, maybe because of anchor bias.

I think the title is spot on, it describes what your thread is about and that should be enough.

Other opinions exist

I agree nothing wrong with the title!.

Just as an aside my aunt aged 92 had her jab last week. As she announced didn’t feel a thing and have felt absolutely fine since. Appointment made for second jab in 3 weeks.

All going to plan?

Peasblossom: thank you very much for drawing our attention to this informative document. Although it is 47 pages long, it is well set out with subheadings, enabling one to select the most relevant parts. It is reassuring to read and I would thoroughly recommend it to all Gransnetters!

Title's OK Peaseblossom

Just got to Page 7

Same here.

I feel more in control if I know the facts. I don't feel in control when I know people are lying to me, hiding the truth or dismissing issues as unimportant when they are.

Nowt wrong with title thanks for the information.
What in the name of glory has being a remainder have to do with it ???

Yeah, things are going so badly....

Thanks for posting this, very interesting.I knew we were doing well with vaccinations but didn’t realise how well!?

We'd never know Lemon if we just listened to the doom-mongers. Credit where its due.

This will be ( to my knowledge) the third time this document has been posted.
I can't remember the first time but I posted it a couple of days ago, and now yours.
Complainers just don't want to read how complicated it is.
They just think it's the same as a flu jab from Boots or whoever.

There was a very interesting and clear item about COVID on the One Show this evening (Tuesday 12th Jan) at about 7.06pm. A young woman, who was part of the Oxford team, giving clear explanations and answering questions.

Worth watching.

Thank you for that, Kamiso. I had a look.

Thanks peaseblossom. Since I’m reluctantly awake, I’m reading it now.
It’s always useful to have some genuine information. So much stuff delivered on the news is confusing and mixed with politics.

Another reluctantly awake here and reading the very detailed and helpful information. Thanks for drawing our attention to it peasblossom and sorry petra that I didn't see it when you too posted it earlier.

It’s great that it hasn’t been farmed out to Serco or Dido Harding, and I agree it’s a massive exercise in logistics. I’m grateful to the NHS at our hospital hub for widening the net and allowing the over 70s to phone up and book an appointment alongside their own staff to maximise the use of the vaccine. Their organisation was very efficient, using lots of volunteers and medical students to get people through as seamlessly as possible, even offering tea and coffee at the end where you had to wait for 15 minutes afterwards. Sorry, anecdotal, but we all know having a fancy plan and ambitious targets does not always get delivered, but in my experience it all went well. Thank You NHS. and volunteers.

I am less worried about the vaccine roll-out plan than I am about all the rest - especially the Christmas bonanza virus-share.

As far as I can see the vaccine is getting out there under priority rules that make sense. I have no truck with this government, but the roll-out was always going to be hugely challenging.

What was not challenging was setting lockdowns promptly in response to scientific advice - this is where they have failed us all.

It is called a UK plan, but most of it is about delivering the vaccine in England. The parallel Scottish document is at www.gov.scot/publications/foi-202000119155/

Though it isn't all that parallel - it predates the vaccines being rolled out.
