Seems so. BMI currently not over 40.

A local village have been vaccinated a few weeks now everyone not just cohorts seems to be all dependent on location.

Well done on getting your BMI below 40.

Numbers we can all enjoy

Walk in clinics opened in London where high cases are appearing .Should we be doing the same to dampen it down ?

Reading this thread makes me wonder are older people being infantilised. The number of people registering their "ageing" parents amazes me. Come on! They are between 60 and 70 at most. Surely they are not all incapable of making a phone call on their own and answering a few simple questions. It reminds me of parents who continue treating their children as babies when they can do lots of stuff independently. That doesn't end well.

Testing or vaccine? We're already doing pop up testing centres and we just don't have the supply right now for pop up vaccination centres.

If you can register online I'd say its far easier than getting parents to phone hse live that will have how many thousand calls and could be waiting a while.

Well we are in that age group and every single person I know in my family , neighbours and friends were quite capable of doing it themselves online

I’m normally critical of the HSE, but fair dues that’s a good result. Need to hit and build upon that every day now

So 5+ weeks on from a single dose of Pfizer it's effectiveness drops. Be interesting to see if they have an updated paper to include the 12 week dosing schedule to see where it goes.

I guess children are simply worried about their parents and want to ensure they are registered correctly and promptly. I did it this morning and am happy it's done now.

I understand your general point but have no issue for something like this.

I drove through my local village a few minutes ago and the amount of elderly people out having an ice cream or takeaway sandwich was lovely to see. All feeling safe now fully vaccinated. I’m not going to lie it brought a tear to my eye.

63 year olds registering today .
I’m optimistic now that 40-45 might be registered early June
I’ll go cracked if I contract it in the meantime

Will we not just keep adding years every few days to the portal so everyone gets registered?

Then administer the vaccines in time.

Yep ideally but maybe that would cause knock on issues.

Such as a person registering while in one age bracket but by the time they are due a vaccine are in another one.
People moving home and hence being close to another vaccine centre
People dying:eek:

And alot more that i can't think of.

Possible yes, but they would be anxious not to have too big a gap between registration and appointment - I suspect they wouldn't want a situation where people were registering and having to wait six weeks or something.

Online is absolutely the way to go but if I had said that I would have expected a raft of replies complaining about internet access, no pc etc. My infuriation is entirely to do with the ageism involved in the infantilising of our older population. I registered my self online last week

Do you know how confidence intervals work? You can't say that the effectiveness drops after five weeks from this chart

There could be small sample sizes there. I’d be wary of reading too much into that without more data.

Looks like people are less cautious the second week after vaccination?

Anyone registering their parents is surely doing it with the full consent and cooperation of the parents.

I registered my Dad on the vaccine portal on the first day it opened, and Mam registered on Sunday night. Neither of them had got any word of an appointment all week.

However, in the mean-time their GP practise opened up their own portal to vaccinate over 60s (I think, could be 65-69), and both of them are getting jabbed this coming Friday.

Absolutely thrilled.

The longer you go after you have been vaccinated, the more immune you become. After four weeks, your chances of being hospitalised if you contract Covid are very low.
