madmanxpilot Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 17 minutes ago, Amadeus said: They could have stood out on the street and asked passers by if they were interested. Joking aside, with IDs proven and access to online medical records obviously available, that would be 15 that wouldn't need doing at a later date, irrespective of age and priority grouping. Red tape and bullshit getting in the way of common sense again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full reply to Hooper's question is here. The main problem is with the Pfizer vaccine (delivered at Chester Street) because doses from a vial once diluted only have a 'shelf-life' of 6 hours. They appear to have run out of 'frontline' health and social care workers to give it to. You'd think an informal list of vulnerable people who lived/worked nearly would be an idea. Edited to add: They do seem to "have developed a protocol to have up to 10 persons per vaccination day, who have a vaccination booked, who are willing, at short notice to have their appointment brought forwards, should cancellations or DNA’s occur. This process is under trial now". But you wonder why they didn't think of that before, especially since were so quick to set a list up for their own staff.

We've spent £200,000 on vaccination hubs. And we're throwing medication out because we can't get people in? FFS.

TerryFuchwit Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 31 minutes ago, Roxanne said: I would have said yes to one and I can’t imagine that anyone else would have said no. Perhaps some on the list could not arrange transport or support at short notice. A good project manager would have taken this possibility into account and would have a second, third, fourth list made from vulnerable residents. This is yet another disappointment. Give them a shout if you think you can add something. You've got 3 weeks to help out now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wordsworth Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Can’t believe they are binning not used vaccines, I live 5 minutes from Chester st ,I’m also over 70 would have been more than willing to pop down for the jab by the way I’m still waiting for my appointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to wait until they've finished jabbing the tax office lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Have any of you booked a jab? Archaic process.... 20 minutes on the phone to respond to the letter inviting you to call. Inform them of contact details. [You wrote the letter]. Add mobile and email [which isn't clear if they already hold]. Finally get told, we'll contact you with an appointment. Why not just give the appointment slot there and then....? Or allow it to be booked online ? Edited March 2, 2021 by snowman 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get most people to self-serve, it frees up huge capacity to deal with those who insist on phoning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
