Some Good News

[maggiebee]

From Nicola Sturgeon today:

Some positive news - initial supplies of the Covid vaccine have now arrived safely in Scotland and are being stored securely. The first vaccinations are on track to be administered on Tuesday.

[anneasquith]

All great news to know vaccination will start soon.

Jogger Jayne and Olive can get theirs together, LB.

[anneasquith]

Jogger Jayne is over 80 ?

I didn't mean right now, anne. It may be a week or three before they work their way down to fashion consultants and cleaning ladies.

[ladybirder]

Oh goodness me No jno, one can't possibly go with one's cleaning lady that would never do. Oh, the thought of it, pass my smelling salts please dear;-)
To be honest I don't know what the take-up will be like here as the majority seem to be ignoring social distancing as you will have seen in the papers.

[jno]

to be honest, I'd let my cleaning lady go first, LB, rather than have her leaving viruses all over the bench while she's working.

[ladybirder]

jno IF she would want it. Too many B&H people seem to think it's all a con and are not having the vaccine, including 3 out of 5 who have mentioned it in my small block.

Well done Nicola.

naughty woy
I mean naughty boy!
I wondered if Nicola wd say that - covid vaccination would be MUCH more effective if scotland were independent

[bobbinwales]

^ sad stalker alert??

Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester has also received the vaccine ready for next week. I never thought to start a thread about it because hadn't realised it was so special....

Best to get a Pre Brexit deal vaccine if you can, because a post brexit jab Will have probably have been Stuck in Truck at Calais for three months if Boris has his way With no deal.

// Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow has some //

what Northwick Park has got is a paternoster lift - my gran was in there in the 1970s, the paternoster was a fun way to ride up and down to the wards. the NHS are a bit sniffy about who uses it now, apparently you have to be trained how to use it.

Doubtless she'll take the credit for the vaccine and that the sun shines.
