superbigal Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Amount of 50-54 year olds (My age group) that apparently have not bothered to turn up is disappointing. Bad manners if nothing else. Official stats show 91.7% vaccinated against 98.1% of 55-59 year olds. Edited May 5, 2021 by superbigal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’m 28 but only got it today due to being an unpaid career (my mum is house bound at the moment as she’s awaiting a double hip replacement, can’t do things for herself). Applied for it ages ago right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoned to chase it up because I applied as an unpaid carer on the 12th of April - apparently they've got up to 4 weeks to give you an appointment, if not then they'll escalate with the local health board. Not a huge deal but ideally would like it before things really start to open up, if the jag is possibly going to make me feel like Susan Boyle has sat on me for 24 hours I'd rather do it when I don't have firmed up plans, rather than have to reschedule anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I had my first jag on Mon - I'm 47 in East Dun. Half my street was there at same time. Can only presume they are combining age brackets and postcodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that would be fair if the content in question wasn't sourced to Government and ONS data.

Elixir Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 As if you needed additional reasons to go nowhere near fucking Blackpool. Quote Posted at 17:09 Blackpool plans testing scheme for hotel guests Visitors to Blackpool could be asked to take Covid tests at their hotels in a bid to keep outbreaks at bay once the seaside town fully reopens. The town's council is in talks with local hospitality businesses about rolling out the voluntary tests. Concerns about the impact of an influx of tourists on case numbers were raised at the authority's audit committee. The town has often suffered high infection rates throughout the pandemic.

Sometimes it's not all about the SNP. Yup. It's almost like all media and news outlets have an agenda that depends on the reader making a judgement on things like bias and trustworthiness. Content referenced to actual data is... less controversial. 'Politics For All' is clearly no different, and it is beyond obvious that for example, it's no supporter of the SNP or Scottish independence, but it has its uses for collecting relevant stories in one place, particularly relating to the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem a bit random at times when people get it. 10 of us 45 - 50 all living in different council areas, 2 have been jagged already (3 and 4 weeks back) and other 8 (including me) still not received a letter or phone call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
