Annoymouse Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 What a strange decision, the fact if coincides with the border opening with less restrictions is that purely coincidence? or does that mean the staff have all taken the same two weeks off? how far in advance was this planned? The media will pick it up eventually, the (poor) excuse will be short supply of Pfizer and Ashford saying all the staff deserve a well earned break (which is probably true) but plenty of others waiting on standby to deliver vaccines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I have searched the internet including UK NHS but can not see any definitive guidance (apart from USA) on the policy for Covid 19 vaccinations for children. Does anyone have a link to any credible information on the please. Does the island have a position yet on vaccinating children ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Really interesting slot on BBCR4 More or Less about UK vaccine allocation and draw down to the devolved nations, and speed of getting it into arms v maintaining a supply buffer. The discussion was about how Wales got so far ahead of England and Scotland in 1st doses ( but still behind IOM and JSY ). There is no justification for the two week cessation of delivery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at that Perhaps we should send them back to be used by jurisdictions that are prepared to actually use them and are crying out for vaccines.

If they are at low risk then extra doses perhaps should be sent to countries where not enough adults have been vaccinated yet. Embedded in the BBC article is a report from the Lancet on children's mortality from Covid. When will the IOM state it's policy on children's vaccinations does anyone know?

TheTeapot Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 no covid vaccines are currently authorised for use in children here so that kind of writes the policy for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 14,000 doses on hand as of now, but they have only delivered about 1000 a day since the last update? How does that work? Does it simply look less awful to have two weeks off if they can rely on the same old supply excuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to order for it to be delivered. Can you predict what might happen now there’s two weeks off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
