Not being argumentative, just wondering what they could have done in the last two years to increase capacity - it's no good having more beds if we don't have the staff to treat the patients in them.

Just had a phone call from my doctor. The situation is now so serious that she is to send out a nurse tomorrow as a matter of urgency to give myself (and other vulnerable people in the area) the booster and flu jab together.

I see double jabbed, even triple jabbed people, catch Covid with my own set of eyes.

If you're that "vulnerable" then why have you left it until now - to be contacted by a nurse. :confused:

You should have sorted both the booster and flu jabs out many many weeks ago, I even had mine in November.

I dont think anyone is disputing this ? They are clearly wrong if they are.
I know of several people who have caught it after being either double or triple jabbed.

As pointed out many times, the vaccinations do not stop you catching covid.
They prepare your body to fight it off, some people will do so with no obvious signs, some will still be ill.

The vast majority will not be seriously ill, which is the main point of it all.

I will go with the deep technical review of ~250,000 PCR tests over anecdotal experience but each to their own

Good for you, but relevancy to this discussion?

A PCR test doesn’t tell you the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. :rolleyes:

At our booster appointment this evening there was a group of nurses at reception reading over the latest instructions from Sturgeon on who is and is not allowed to have a vaccination over the next 4-5 weeks. Basically in Scotland no 12-15s are now allowed. They have been eligible for a 1st jab for some time but anyone who hasn’t had it already is to be turned away until the booster program is complete.

They're going to need 3 doses to be protected anyway surely.


They need to be prioritising boosters considering that those who are eligible for 1st doses have been so since August and haven't come forward - are they going to?
