Annie - how R U this afternoon?

I’m having allergy symptoms each morning so asthma is worse, I guess it’s a spring pollen thing ?

I contacted the breast screening dept again yesterday (think they’re fed up seeing my name now lol) I have an appt and April

Annie, you can enter you NHS number, on the website.  Does that block you too??

I tried my nhs number and that worked but told me I’m not eligible yet.  I’m 55 this year .  I did have in mind @end March for mine but our next town (which is a lot bigger) is  going through the 50 year olds now

The place where I had my booked appointment is also doing 'drop ins'.  It might be worth going to see if it's the same in your area. 

Could be worth a try.

I’m on a local town Facebook  page and there’s a couple of places doing the booked jabs but no ones mentioned a drop in

I had no idea until I turned up.  The queue was split between those with an appointment and those without.  All got seen and it was very quick.

There haven't been any drop ins local to us.  It's all about being called.  However, in towns the homeless and factory workers are being asked to attend as and when, so that everyone gets covered.  It also depends on how much vaccines areas have available. 

It is thought that much of the C-19 positive tests have been through factory workers travelling on the same transport, either in coaches or in cars, to and from lodgings.

Last year I wrote : A lack of funding may be the initial cause of research, however, once it gets to the end result, B4 approval, there's then a rush to sell it to the highest bidder.  Until the Licence runs out when it comes to the market cheaper as more companies rush to produce it to the widest buyer.  Then NICE gets involved  ::)

It shows how quickly, when necessary, the World can get together to produce something that will work.  It will be refined as the years go by and as more vaccines come on stream.  There will be some that have side effects, which will hit the news, but that's the same with many medications anyway.  I hope that the opportunity to lodge any reactions will be more available . I've never been offered the yellow card for anything.


All medications are trialled sufficiently, usually we are not aware of any of them: but because C-19 is so new, it's in our faces all the while.  Also, the annual 'flu vaccine gives 67% coverage.  Does anyone worry in particular?

Better to have the jab rather than die of a germ?
