Bad News Regarding The Vaccine

[pastafreak]

Shipments of the Pfizer vaccine is to be less than expected due to supply problems...and NHS staff not at the top of the queue.
If true, disappointing to say the least.

Hard as it is to accept people of working age wherever they work are unlikely to suffer the worst effects of Covid, Nhs staff won't be far down the list but ensuring the elderly and care staff are vaccinated first is a more resource effective use of the first available vaccine doses as it helps prevent the people most likely to be hospitalised for long stays and maybe dying from getting seriously ill. But this in its turn reduces the load on the NHS by having a direct impact on admissions/workload. As an ex nurse I would rather have seen less deaths even if it meant I had to work in full scale PPE a few more weeks

[Peter Pedant]

yes no
even Biden has clicked that slowness costs lives
so that if you wait 30 d before vaccinating at 500- 1000 deaths a day

then that is aroudn 30 000 available deaths. - and the vaccine is far safer than that

it now seems around 10% of the population in the Land of the Free have had it

that Mail article is very confused. The pack splitting issue has been known about since the beginning.

Mrs A, in hospital still (for multiple conditions centred round her failing heart) was offered the vaccine a day or two back, and pragmatist that she is, jumped at it.

[Sqad]

allen. .....God for her.

[Sqad]

Oops! I meant.....Good for her.

[MartinMillar]

Personally I believe the nhs and the care staff should have the vaccine then the workers then everyone else.
Just my opinion mind
