I'd like to think once they have the 60 - 69 registered in portal that the next lot down can at least register while the 60's crowd is being vaccinated so at least we can have appointments. I'm not prepared to wait another bloody six weeks for this.
It was expected that the high risk under 65s would be done concurrently with the 60 to 65s, starting 3rd May.
My husband is in this group also and he has been told by the hospital to expect an appointment after that date.
However GPs have said yesterday on webinar that they now don't have a clue what is happening and are waiting for clarity about 2nd doses for over 70s, whether they will be pushed out to 6 weeks or further, and so no movement on appointments until that is sorted.
At this rate those not vulnerable registered on the portal appear to be getting more clarity than at risk groups

Anyway I've had a read through it and to be honest Paul Reid would have been better off saying nothing. Firstly he says it was always their intention for June but that the new rollout plan changed things. Well if its always been June I don't see how this new plan changed things if its still June.
Secondly it's caveated with the usual, maybes, ifs and buts. J&J brings it all forward again and he says it himself & they still need to clarify the additional Pfizer supply he said they don't know when they'll arrive.
He'd been as well to say look this is the next 4 weeks, it's over 60s & the medically vulnerable and have said nothing more after that, by opening his mouth with so many caveats he's given 2 of the worst journalists in the Independent (Eilish O’Regan and Gabija Gataveckaitė) a headline to run with.
For all he knows the plan could change again with J&J & I'd expect it to.
Agreed. Deal with those high risk groups first then when it is clearer where they are at, publicise what's next.
Soo much may have changed in the rollout in the next 6 weeks, from spacing vaccine doses, to whether J&J is still on board, that predicting further at this stage is not on.
I do think those 2 journalists and a few others are stirring though.
That Gabija is just painful to listen to, trying to eke sensational headline grabbing statements out of Glynn et Al at the briefings.
They are on to her now though

Thats the thing on the journalists, Paul Reid gave them a headline, Glynn is now wise to it and wouldn't say anything yesterday when she kept at him.0 -
