There's been a lot of people who've volunteered their services and there's been new centres opened , surely this would speed up the vaccine programme and stay ahead of the virus?
I listened with interest to a doctor saying if people were travelling at middle of the night hours , they're more likely to have a car accident through being tired etc, if it was offered to me at 03-01am ( which is what they're doing to the minute) I'd make sure I'd had a couple of hours prior to going,
We just need to be patient now, they are speeding up the rate of vaccination but in the middle of January its pretty icy out there after dark. The NHS dont have the capacity to deal with a whole load of slips, falls and car crashed. Stay at home, wait our turn, go in the daylight.

Plus there are a whole lot of volunteers (like me) who are needed to help out and they might not want to go in in the middle of the night. Doesn't bother me as I`m used to working for 16 hours and overnight too but some might not.
I think it may happen once there is more vaccine and more people who would go to night appointments. People in the current vaccination groups are unlikely to want/be able to go out at night and if all the available vaccine is being used up during daylight hour operations then no point. When the question was raised at one of the recent briefings, it wasn't ruled out if there was a demand and sufficent vaccine
It's a good idea... our local carehomes (maybe hospitals?) have already said they will release nightstaff to have it if required. Saves taking up time during the day, when people are already up and awake.
A hope they can offer service 24 hours a day but allready today we had stories in the press of pensioners complaining about having to queue in the rain,there'll be even more moans queing in the dark at 4am.
Hopefully theyd offer a choice- 6am would suit me before work
1) increase in missed appointments (Mrs Jones fails to make 3:38 AM February 4th for some reason, despite saying she would)
2) complaints (but my neighbour got a "nice" time)
3) take-up rate (if somebody's already borderline, being offered 3:38 AM may swing them to reject)
4) getting there (a car is the only option, private or taxi)
5) time is not the only resource. There is also supply of staff and vaccines to consider
