It makes sense for 65 to be used because that is the current "divide" between those being vaccinated and those not. It simply shows that nearly half the people currently going into hospital, are coming from the "not getting vaccinated any time soon" category. A simple way of showing that we're not out the woods yet and still need to be cautious. (And yes, I know there are some "younger but vulnerable" being done, but that doesnt really alter the point).

Yes, his daughter delivered a baby.
I thought his daughter is in uniform and delivered someone's baby 🤱 🤷♂️
Ah well, congrats to whoever the mum is 😅

Who's the grandchild??!
He's skipped his meds again...Where's his carer?
She work for Amazon then?
- The current group of underlying health conditions and unpaid carers is only just smaller (circa 700k/ 2 days of vaccination) than everyone 70 and over in the country, not sure that's negligible.
- When you add in that those 60-65 make up a huge percentage of the groups admissions, and seem to be getting vaccinated.
Obviously we know why they've presented the data in this way. If they used the median or age groups from the previous slide, compliance would be an issue.

I'd be interested to see the numbers you working from. In my mind ithat doesnt add up, so happy to see the numbers which show otherwise.

Google gives a figure of almost 8.8 million people in the UK over the age of 70. By my reading he's suggesting that there are 8.1 million unpaid carers or people with underlying health conditions.
Exactly this, There's 7.3m in the above group + 1.2 Severely at risk Under 70 = 8.5m
You'd have to take an amount off the severe at risk group to account for the 65-70 year olds, so I just ball parked it.
Dataset was from NHSEI.

Vaccination booked for tomorrow.
Seriously, apart from the fragmentated lockdowns and lack of acceptance of the rules in the UK I really wish I was in the UK right now... apart from the cwappy weather of course.

Really can’t knock the vaccination programme, Jonny and Donna got done last week as part of the vulnerable group and I’ve moved up one group as the registered carer.
So Seaham currently on the 60-64 age group + carers.

It's not all perfect, I have Chron's. I was told to stop taking my immunosuppressants until I get a vaccine.
Second jab booked 7th may

Is that within 12 weeks of your first, just out of curiosity?
I ask only because you’re the first person I have read/heard of getting an appointment for your second jab. What’s your experience of the process been?
