Emergency services haven’t been vaccinated and are some way down the line yet apparently. Can you clarify? Do you believe that DOI roadworkers have been vaccinated?

I’m surprised your wife didn’t keep her own name. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I can echo what everyone is saying re booking vaccine. Phone line is confusing to say the least with long silences and then a beep every second or so and then music pipes in and if your lucky you get a pre recorded message for a short time , rinse repeat . Spent 40 mins trying this morning . Given up tbh and will try later at weekend or so. Cant believe they can be so incompetent to not have addressed this . There has to be Government staff available to man more lines and the need to streamline the system is glaring obvious . Having to ring then wait for a call back when there snowed under is nonsense. Should be relatively easy to miss out the call back for most callers I would have said . Yes I'm sure with some people its a bit of a issue but most , especially as the age range is reducing , it should be totally feasable to when you get through to be booked in . One thing is sure it needs sorted as a matter of urgency or the vaccine programme is going to grind to a halt Edited March 4, 2021 by Numbnuts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there can’t be any excuses not to do work during lockdown, perfect time with the roads being quiet, plus massive cost savings on sickness/absence which ultimately comes out of the public purse.

madmanxpilot Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) The vaccination booking service is an administrative function. It should be separate from the Covid 111 service. As this outbreak accelerates, the 111 service will become increasingly overwhelmed. All of this at a time when we are expecting the vaccine rollout to ramp up with bumper deliveries. Far from protecting the vaccine rollout, it is being jeopardised . FFS separate the two functions and give the vaccine booking service a dedicated local phone number. It REALLY can't be too hard to do that!. Edited March 4, 2021 by madmanxpilot 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Wonder how many cases they would have to find to make a U-turn on 'outdoor' 'socially distanced' construction? Cos it's total bollocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is sure it needs sorted as a matter of urgency or the vaccine programme is going to grind to a halt It was bad enough trying to get through before the shit hit the fan, we tried over 3 days. We were on hold with no queuing system mentioned, I don’t mind if it tells you how far you are in the queue but without that you’ve got no idea if it’s going to be 5 mins or half an hour, however this is when they were having trouble with the phone lines though and when we did get through the operator couldn’t understand us properly due to it being a bad line, had to shout just to be heard and speak really slowly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious to all but CoMin who seem to keep doubling down on their mistakes rather admitting them and getting them fixed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I've been past the local building site today, loads of blokes working on a structure outdoors, no social distancing and no masks. My dustbin men came this morning, no social distancing and no masks. Are we to suppose none of these guys go home to their families ?
