Medical centre

A bit of a trek across country today for Harry to have his first Covid vaccine shot.
Our surgery aren’t doing them so they are in conjunction with one ten miles away.
It was very busy with cars drawing in all the time dropping elderly folk off...zimmer frames, wheelchairs, walking sticks etc but they were all keen to get the jab!
The Lancashire Fire service where running the whole show.....
Everyone had to sit down for fifteen minutes afterwards.
I waited in the car hence this boring photo but one for the archives.

It certainly is good to have a record of the day this event happened and great Harry was able to get underway with his immunisations.

Well done for recording the dy like this - Ours will not be in individual surgeries either but I believe in the Racket Centre in Telford Town Centre!

Definitely a keepsake photo!

when do you get yours Pat ?
Stay safe

Are you having the vaccine too?

How is your country deciding who gets the vaccine?

Mostly age & the more vulnerable plus key workers. They are doing the over eighties at the moment using the Biotec frozen one now but our easier to administer Oxford one has been approved now so I will probably get that one by the time it gets to me. It can be kept at a lower temperature so can be stored easily. Have they started vaccinating in Alabama?

@beryl Hope it’s soon your turn Beryl, that’s if you want it, not everyone is in agreement.

@phil_howcroft Not old enough yet Phil 🤣🤣 guessing it might get to end of January.

Brilliant! Keep safe. My 89 year old Dad doesn’t get his until January!

When you say you’ve had the vaccine it gives your age away 😂🤣. Now we know that Harry is over eighty 😊. I shall definitely be at the front of the queue when my turn comes. I really, really can’t understand those people who don’t want the vaccine.

I am amused at what @susiemc Sue says - very true! But most people over 80 are very proud to be that - and not 6ft underground!

@susiemc @maggiemae @helly31 Harry is 83 but doesn't look it! We feel lucky to get it so promptly...they only started on Monday & had enough vaccine for 1000 this week. I think it’s probably because it’s a quieter area with less residents than some more urban areas...that’s only my guess but he was keen to go & have it! I will have to wait a while yet I think.
Yes you’re right maggie ...when you get older you do tend not to be as shy saying your age!
