My daughter wears high heels and cant stand up in them!!grin

And its the ' high heels and purple' spirit that has got her to 101!!! She should absolutely get her second vaccine. She is as entitled as anyone else...

Polarbear2 Janejudge I hope this situation gets resolved quickly for their sake.

What a nasty attitude OP. Exactly why is her life less than yours?

Oh I’m sorry you thought that of me. It isn’t nasty. It’s pragmatic surely? She’s very stubborn and won’t use a wheelchair so can’t stand in line. She insists they come to her home. She wears high heels all the time but can’t stand up in them. Which is funny in its way. Growing old and wearing purple kind of attitude.

Oh no. Poor dear person. Can someone go on line for local mass Covid vaccine centre & get an appointment that way? My surgery took it to the wire for me so after 11 weeks I booked on line for the mass vaccination site & was quickly seen there. When my GP finally got in touch, I was able to decline having it at his surgery.
Of course if this dear soul is not ambulant, that's a bit different. I do hope this is reassuringly resolved soon.

My Mother in law despite being in hospital, wasn't given her second vaccination and they've said she will have to be re vaccinated now (ffs)

She could still spread the infection.

Family have been told if it’s beyond the 88 day limit she has to start again. They’re saying she has to get back in the queue?

Dying of CoVid could be a nastier experience for her than dying of a sudden heart attack or stroke. That should be in the equation. The GP isn't deliberately "dragging feet" If they say they have run out of vaccine, that is true. The situation will change when more is available.

This could be very controversial. An elderly lady I know of (age 101) had her first jab 13 weeks ago. GP dragging feet re second one saying they’ve run out of vaccine. Her family are up in arms but I’m looking on thinking ... she’s 101! Shouldn’t a younger person get priority? She could die any day just of old age. I know she has the same rights as everyone else but...??
