Gladys Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Didn't the UK have a red faced moment over a spreadsheet? Even so, a simple spreadsheet of vaccine in and vaccine out could be maintained in real time. It is, after all, just stock control.

Happier diner Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Did I hear Ashford say we had to keep enough vaccines in store to 'honour booking'. Surely if you have used your vaccines, you would have honoured your booking, or where else would it have gone? Am i missing something?

They don't want to book thousands of people in without the guarantee that they will have vaccine to administer, and then have to postpone bookings. They used to make sure that they had the second dose in hand when the first dose was booked, but having moved to a longer gap between 1st and 2nd doses they no longer do that. They keep a buffer of about 10 days worth to take account of any delays in delivery, cancelled sailings etc, but they don't like to book to many new 1st jab appointments ahead of that until they know they have the vaccine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Just listening to Mannin line & reports that those due second Pfizer doses have been told come back Thursday or Friday as not doing them until later in week. nothing to do with stocks apparently but that’s not what John Wright mentioned yesterday apparently several turning up for second doses and being told you should have had a letter changing dates but they haven’t Edited March 9, 2021 by Banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have received a letter inviting me to register for vaccination. I have already received one injection and have a date for the second. This implies that they have more than one database, and they are not talking to each other. In that case, and knowing there would be inconsistencies, it would be sensible to have included the words "Please ignore this letter if...". But they didn't.

doc.fixit Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 So have I. Although my second jab appointment has been put back a few weeks according to the jab nurse however I can't confirm 'cos I can't get through to 111. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also told me the letter doesn’t advise getting the consent form on line and filling it in before arriving for the vacc.

asitis Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Two very vulnerable friends of my wife spent ages on the phone today, only to be told ring back tomorrow ! Logistically it doesn't seem to be improving at any speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
