Re: Covid Vacs
Victoria, did you ask your GP?
I know from speaking with ours the main problem appears to be the state govs.
They are responsible for issuing the permit for vaccinations to go ahead.
Most major cities intend to set up hubs to cope with the numbers.
Here in Victoria we have over 80,000 doses of the AZ but the state gov has put a stop to the use for two weeks while as it says,
"staff to be trained in the use of it'
To me that is an insult to the medical profession to say they need training to give an injection?????

Re: Covid Vacs
It will be interesting to see how USA and EU now cope with China.
The figures released today on imports and exports for China show they are better now than before the Virus struck.
Biden said he will not follow the Trump method of dealing with China.
How will the EU manage if they cannot even manage the vaccination schedule in a timely manner.

#35... “ most major cities intend to set up hubs to cope with the numbers “ thought on first reading said pubs , and thought what a good idea especially with all those trained dart players. Anyone who can stick a syringe in an orange can give an injection , even me and have given quiet a few. 5 minutes before catching the bus for work should do it. See John you do need buses. JS.

Re: Covid Vacs
All over 50s have been offered the jab here in UK now, and have just been reading that the Pfizzer jab price has risen to just under 20 euros, as apposed to the AZ which is 1.38 euros, so with all the scare mongering by the EU, now comes the price to pay. kt

Yes John the EU have made a right bullocks of the vaccine, sounds as if the Australians are using the same business/roll out model?

Re: Covid Vacs
#39 update Keith, all those over 50 have been offered a jab, now if you're over 45 you can go for a jab. Seems we're doing something right, but the EU is blaming the UK for their own failure, but what politicians fail to grasp is that the wider public in their home countries have access to the internet and can see what is going on in the world. The EU through its policies on vaccines is running up debts that running into infinity. The piper will have to be paid one day, probably by collapse. Lets face it the EU system is just communism wearing another dress, and communism in its ideals did not work, communism today in Russia and China is akin to dictatorship, which of these two scavengers will try to pick at the bones of the EU and probably herald WWIII

Re: Covid Vacs
Oh no not another RED under bed theory
The UK and every other nation will have to pay the piper by the time the Pandemic is brought to heel. If you print money it has to be paid for some how were do we think the money comes from for the furlough scheme.
Did anyone pick up on this!!! The RNLI has had to put volunteer workers on Furlough?? I think the CEO took a 30% pay cut so he was only on £135k for the past year.
