We changed the date for ours, to after 8 weeks - felt it was our duty as we were being encouraged to get vaccinated asap to help against the Indian variant. TBH, after reading your comment, I went on to do similar. Gota be an all round good thing, for all. But after seeing that bit I quoted about waiting to be contacted, I didn't even try to go any further, for fear of messing things up. (I've amended my appointments once already, before my first jab. You have to cancel the originals first, and in the hope of getting earlier slots, the availabilty had disappeared, and I ended up a week later for both! I ain't trying that again! LOL!)

I then went online to rebook and basically it was 'when can you come?' That was Sunday and there were openings literally every morning and afternoon from Monday onwards. So I went and had it this morning and was in and out in 10 minutes tops. I'm in Cornwall, but my sister is in Derby and she says it's the same there. Ooh... interesting...

I changed appointments previously and it was relatively straightforward - the caveat being the cancelling first bit. But were I concerned then I was reassured that when I returned from my first jab I answered the phone to someone from my doctors surgery asking if I wanted to book in for a jab! ?

Mucker1884 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 On the strength of recent posts , I've just been on the main NHS online covid booking thingy, cancelled my 2nd appointment (10th June) and am now re-booked in for tomorrow teatime. Similarly, I've done the same for Muckerette, (with her permission, of course!) who was booked for Sat 29/5, but is now in 5 mins after me, tomorrow teatime. Both at Derby Arena. The only difference is that Muckerette was originally booked through Swiftqueue, not the NHS site, so as it stands, there's no mention of an actual cancellation (of that 29/5 booking). She'll sort that after she's had her jab tomorrow. (Doing this via the NHS website, after entering Muckerette's details, it appeared they didn't know her covid jab history, but as we completed the process, the appointment does indeed confirm it is for her 2nd jab) Massive thanks for the heads up, from @RoyMac5 and @Bob The Badger. I owe you both a swift half! ...Yes... one each)! :-) Bob The Badger, MrPlinkett and Eddie 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very low but variable I'm no scientist but even I can spot that the conclusions look flawed if the experimental conditions are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 More positive data being reported. 70% of UK adults have now been vaccinated against Covid. These groups account for over 99% of Covid deaths. Hospitalisations and death rates have been below the 5 year average for over a month. Good signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good signs Agree, I hope that we continue on the current path provided the Indian variant doesn't go mad which from what I read the signs are it won't. There is evidence pointing towards the vaccine working and also it not being as bad as first thought with transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Heard a theory a long time back that this lockdown is partly fuelled by Climate Change. Just stumbled across an Attenborough documentary on AppleTV where they’ve clearly been gathering footage from Day 1 of lockdown 1. Then just seen some Bill Gates foundation propaganda and it kind of makes a bit of sense. Stive Pesley and Bluedogmaz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the results of the first lockdown of course it is clearly plausible but surely if it was about climate change it would be a futile exercise without the involvement of China and India?

The doc i watched on AppleTV had loads of footage from both. Including a segment about being able to see the Himalayas from a village for the first time in decades!
