The Times is reporting that all over 50s could be vaccinated (first dose) by the end of March, citing Whitehall sources. I can't access more of the article than that shown below.

Whitehall sources predict all over-50s will get Covid vaccine by end of March

Ministers believe that they will have enough doses to hit Boris Johnson’s target of inoculating the 15 million most vulnerable people by February 15.

A senior Whitehall source told The Times they were increasingly confident that all 32 million over-50s could receive their first vaccine dose by mid to late March.

Confidential figures published by the Scottish government suggest that 3.8 million vaccinations will be carried out next week alone, eclipsing the 3 million carried out so far.

50 tomorrow. Getting my sleeve rolled up in preparation. The end of March would be a fantastic result!

My brother got his Pfizer jab Yesterday as an NHS worker (Paramedic) He's very happy!

I will have the jab but act the same as I am now until there is evidence having the extended period between jabs does not render it useless

It's certainly not effective for several days. Medical staff in my wife's hospital caught the virus the week after getting the jab. Hopefully they were just unlucky.
Danger is people getting the jab then thinking they're immune. It isn't 100% and immunity takes time, plus of course these new variants.
Politicians saying when 'we'll get back to normal' are either misinformed or misleading.

You would do everyone a service here if you can get your wife to report, through you, on the staffs' progress; how severe it was, etc.

I don't think any are serious atm but there are a few over 50 and with health conditions.

I don't think I have ever seen the notion put forward that the vaccine gives anyone "immunity." The aim is that the antibodies it creates enable our immune systems to react to the virus a lot quicker thus staving off the worse effects of the covid-19 infection. If it did make us all immune then we would, in theory, be able to wipe out the virus which is not something has ever been on the table.

I would, though, love it is someone could give me a link to show that immunity via a vaccination for covid is possibly. It would certainly take away all my fears considering my immune system problems.

As the jab is only 52% ( or something like that) after the first jab, and then only 90% after two jabs, then it is not really a surprise that people still catch it.

Still having one Jab and then being infected, well they’ll be sorted after that!

I'm surprised a nurse doesn't know it takes time for the immune system to build a defence.

It may take a week or two for your body to build up some protection from the first dose of vaccine. Like all medicines, no vaccine is completely effective, so you should continue to take recommended precautions to avoid infection. Some people may still get COVID-19 despite having a vaccination, but this should be less severe.
