I have to say that the whole vaccination roll-out has been an incredible success. We are way too quick to criticize and slag off authorities at times but to think it it only just over four months ago that the first person got a jab. And now we are over 30 million with their first one - 30 MILLION! Everyone I have known has had no issues on the day with the organisation and has been treated really professionally.

If they had gone on certain professions rather than age, the arguments would still be going on about whose job was more important than others. Age was the only way to really do it.

So a tip of the hat to everyone involved.

The 2nd jab logistics are really impressive, trying to get everyone in on a day fairly close to 12 weeks after their first one and they need to make sure that on the day you go back they are using the same brand as you got first time - if people don’t turn up or cancel, rebooking must be a nightmare, but it all appears seamless so far.
Friend had the Moderna jab yesterday so that makes 3 varieties to keep tabs on for 2nd jabs.
Proud of the NHS.

N Devon’s claim to fame being the first COVID free area for a week didn’t last long
Scotland seems to be doing all the right things as we ease out of lockdown.
Very clear messages from the FM today.
Nice to know your on the same track as the rest of the UK. Were you worried that you were being left behind.

Got my first AZ jab yesterday at Heathrow mass vaccine centre.. Swift, effortless and in & out in 15 mins. It took me more time to locate the place, as the post code takes you to an industrial estate. The guard there was bored of re-pointing everyone in the same direction.

Beyond the NHS, amazing to see an army of volunteers helping out. Some bored of the tedious & repetitive task, but sticking to it. Speaking to the guy in the parking lot, he said they can do 1k vaccine everyday and yesterday they had about 800..

Now I'm back to work I find one thing I'm missing is time...
For 7 months of the last year I've had all the time in the world to do this or that or nothing..
Now, everything seems to be rushing along at breakneck speed and I'm not enjoying it....
Roll on retirement...
