She says as soon as the vaccines are available they are ready to deliver them and an information drop will be sent to households in January. I assume (but could well be wrong) there wouldn't be any vaccines conducted until all all households have received their 'information drop'. If the 'information drop', isn't until January, then I think a million vaccintaions by the end of Jan is already a goner. In my mind it was always fanciful anyway Depends between the NHS staff, care home residents and those administering the vaccine that must be getting on for a million 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take that from that tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying wrong, indeed I hope you're right. But you reckon NHS staff + care home + those administering the vaccine equals a million? A million would have us just shy of a quarter of the way I think. Like I say, I hope you're right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccination process would start thereafter (seems a bit silly getting a leaflet through door about a vaccine if you've already had it). Again, I could well be wrong (and hope I am) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 1 hour ago, Billy Jean King said: For a bit of context it's approx 9% of the EAC school population absent which is about 2% above normal. The same newspaper group has publications all over Ayrshire, they ran the exact same click bait headline for South Ayrshire council schools a couple of weeks back and it was pointed out to them by umpteen Facebook posters then that the figures quoted at that time actually represent below average absence despite the headline X000 pupils absent. Were these umpteen Facebook posters as bad at maths as you are? A rise from 9% to 11% is not a 2% rise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say, I hope you're right I had a very quick Google: NHS Scotland: 160,000 Care home staff: 52,000 elderly care home residents: 36,000 SAS: 5,000 Pharmacists: 4,000 So around 250,000 vaccinated plus the people required to administer it even if that's 50,000 which seems high Other folk who will probably get done asap: Police: 23,500 Fire: 8,500 So that's probably taking you to 333,333 roughly. A million by the end of January seems a tough ask but if the mail drop is received on the 3rd/4th/5th then it's doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Freeman "At this point that decision has not been reached" Which, whilst probably factually accurate, it's clearly going to be what happens. Throughout this pandemic every decision that's been rumoured , but 'has not been reached', has eventually went ahead. I wish they'd just tell us straight rather than this charade they seem to like to go through every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on both points. I just think they should have the courage of their convictions.

A million by the end of January seems a tough ask but if the mail drop is received on the 3rd/4th/5th then it's doable. You've got the over 80s, home carers and possibly the shielded to add to the list of the first tranche, which would easily take it over a million. The shielded are already being contacted directly by text about other stuff, so it could be that a start will be made before the general mail drop.
