Perfectly happy for the folk who vax millions every year to decide who gets it, and in what order.

Fair enough. I just know that there’s a fit and healthy 24-year-old (who works in the icu) getting it, and then also 90-yr-old Maggie (91 next week).

given we currently have 400,000 available vaccines (not allowing for any waste), I thought it just worth raising the question.

Wasnt having a pop. There is a thread of sense in what you are saying, I just havnt a clue about who/why/when age groups are decided, hence, happy for the experts to crack on.

Having my first ever flu jab later today, following a text the other week that my age group is now getting it. They seem to be pretty good at using their data to roll out mass vaxes.

Ey?

Vaccinate a 90-year-old, you’ve saved a 90-year-old from covid (when the vaccine works - and she won’t be fully dosed up for another month, that’s how long it takes to work).

vaccinate a member of staff that looks after 9-10 90-year-olds, plus perhaps takes their kids to school, plus goes to the shops... you’re probably more likely to save more lives?

they all need vaccinating ASAP, it’s surely just more sensible to start with people who are mixing community with care homes to save more lives as quickly as possible?

And I'm sure they will all be vaccinated; it's not like she's been vaccinated and then no one else is till 2021. Just not sure why we're questioning one person getting a vaccine. I'm fairly certain she wasn't the only person in the country vaccinated yesterday either. My friend is front line in Lancaster and is getting hers this week they've been told.

Christ we'll be playing at Bramley Moore by the time I get offered the vaccine

I don't think there's any vaccine for what you have mate

Had crossed my mind. My parents had theirs a few weeks ago, and said they were fine afterwards. But they have one every year.

I had one a few years back and it knocked me for six for a couple of days.

Yeah, I have heard that a few times. If we were in normal times, I probably wouldnt bother. That said, its only cos we are not in normal times that my age group is getting it anyrate, so will go with the advice.

You should be OK, I've had the jab for a good few years and I can't recall any bad side effects. Worth doing mate.

Oh I'd take it anyway; I'm only in my 20's but got offered it whilst I was there getting some vaccs for a holiday. Was nice to have a year without getting run down at work.

You’ll be fine, but your arm may hurt for a day or so...I get one every year and no problems......

I was fine when I had mine for the first time this year. The arm just ached a little bit for a couple of days

Yeah, same with my mate in the Sheffield icu.

I just think it’s a pr stunt and an excuse for Hancock to try and cry on tv
