Just speaking (ok, whatsapping) with my dentist this morning, as I read that "they" were starting on vaccinating them at the beginning of March. Can´t say I was surprised to hear that he still hasn´t been called for a jab, but is hopeful for the near future. I asked him to let us know when he was done, as we would then go over for an inspection and clean.
Then I thought that actually, him having had the jab, might be relatively meaningless - then thought, no, it would help. Indecisive me?
The fact that they haven´t done (ok private sector) healthworkers yet is pretty worrying. The fact that they don´t seem to be giving a toss about the citizens-by-agegroup is even more worrying. Reports imply that they are planning to allow the Astra Zeneca jab to be given to people up to the age of 65 now (rather than 55) is an improvement, but it also stated that they were "waiting for approval" for this giant step. Give me strength (please!).
This shambles seems to be pretty similar across the EU - with any slight issue relating to supply or efficacy of vaccine taken as a pretext to cover up the incredible inefficiency of the whole caboodle.
We read that holiday makers (who can afford the £5k fine per head) will be welcome in Spain "soon". No they will not. Rather than fine them or give them weird medical passports, get them to bring a dose of vaccine with them - then they will be welcome.
All ages have been having the astra here and we are all still alive and not grown any spare limbs as yet 😃.
