I rang my hospital (St Vincents) today to find out if/when I would be vaccinated. The senior nurse told me that they have no idea. Not for me, not for their cancer patients, not for their renal patients, not for anyone. No idea. No information. They are astonished. I am not feeling confident.

astrofool wrote: » Should the EU have blocked and in the future block export of Pfizer vaccine to the UK until they have enough capacity to export just as you've said the UK has done? (never an answer, always a chicken to answer). And they are EU controlled vaccines, just ask the Ozzies about that. The UK is being a complete hypocrite, it's OK to own it. The chest thumping machismo disappears pretty quickly (especially when bojo is the one doing it).

It has nothing to do with the EU, they are an American business exporting goods that have been bought and paid for months ago. Get this EU thing out of your head, the EU is just a customer waiting on deliveries, like most other countries.
