The Covid thread

[BBROWN1664]

My mate had their second jab cancelled and postponed by a week to 13 weeks.


This from Jenrick.

I was speaking to my 95+ year old neighbour yesterday. She is due her 2nd dose next Friday based on the 12 week wait but does not have an appointment yet.

I did say to people several weeks ago that unless they increased supply and capacity for the jabs they would have issues as soon as 2nd jabs were due. This is down to the fact they want the 1st jab rate to continue at the same pace it has been achieving. Even the simplest of people (which is why MP's and ministers cannot see it) can tell that if you have 500,000 (or whatever the number is) doses of the vaccine and capacity to deploy the same you can only deliver 500,000 doses so to ensure people get their 2nd doses, you have to suspend 1st doses. They wont do this though so the 2nd doses will be postponed again. Eventually it will get to the point where we are well beyond 12 weeks and end up having to have annual boosters instead.

Simple math time if doing it as annual boosters -  50M doses = about 1M a week every week infinitum until Covid-19 goes the same way as tuberculosis etc
