The GPS rang as many patients from all age groups and told them to get to the vaccine centre immediately if they wanted a vaccine today. It seems the rain put off people attending their appointments
Sleeper12 wrote: » Read back further. Posters yesterday or the day before were given hours notice too due to no shows. This isn’t suggesting that people are not going to be vaccinated. People don't turn up for appointments all the time. It's a fact of life. If you want to be seen quickly in the A&E then go on a hot sunny day. A&E will be empty except for the few genuine emergencies

There are a large number due to begin shortly. 600k roughly dose 2 are required so the majority of incoming deliveries are needed for them. So it's not finished, it's needed but estimates are deliveries will cover dose 2 with little spare. There is no pick your own vaccine system nor is there one planned currently
Sleeper12 wrote: » They are calling it "choice-based model" Don't know if you get to pick your own vaccine or maybe the choice is to take J&J or not. They are only talking about it now. Nothing definite
