I'm not so sure about that. Aside of dose management there was a distinct slow down in the take up of the vaccine. The reality is a lot of young people are not interested. People need time off as well. A large volume of people have been flat out for a long time and will need to take some time off (some mandatory no doubt). It's alarmingly selfish that people seem to think people doing jobs don't deserve a break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re assuming no deliveries for 14 days. They’ve had 10 weeks to recruit and persuade uptake. Im not being selfish. Have the people delivering vaccine into arms been working 24/7 flat out with no time off? Chester St has only been delivering Mon-Fri for weeks and Ronaldsway Fri, Sat Sun. what happened about using all the volunteers? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it isn't just the people putting needles in arms. You do realise that? It's making no difference. It's just overly fussy selfish behaviour really (and if people are talking about it leading to people dying that's just paranoia). We are basically covid free. The people that REALLY need two doses have had them. The rest will have by the end of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Given there is little to no covid here whatsoever where is the critical urgency? Usual panicky shite. Ah like there was no race to vaccinate in late December 2020 because there was little to no covid here whatsoever. Then we all know what happened... The critical national urgency is to get as many vaccinated so we can crack on and open the borders, get the economy moving again and push on with life. Usual complacent shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need as many people as possible fully vaccinated to reduce transmission when it does come back. What's so hard to understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truly vulnerable (which is what matters in a vaccine context) will be done twice. The reality is that from a risk perspective the approach being taken makes no material difference to what you say about Jersey (obsession) and the UK ( lol at holding them up as an example). You'll be moaning next that really fat 30 year olds haven't been done. The UK is important as that is where most people will travel to and from. Only people jabbed with their second dose on 14 June will have the chance of the fullest immunity when the borders open on 28 June. I suspect that date will slip. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who really need it, have even protected against last year's variant. The more protection we can have against new variants the better, and the sooner the better. Ashy has really dropped the ball here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
