Mine was the same 4 nurses, walk through, jab as you passed a nurse, no long lines of people, perfect social distancing, 4 done every few minutes.

There seems so many different vaccines for this flu jab malarkey. I assume someone knows what they are doing. :(

Mine was very time consuming this morning @Muddy Cyclist in terms of patients done. It was like each flu jab patient was done in total isolation from arriving to leaving the building. I couldn't have asked for better protection wise. I didn't see another flu jab patient.

Maybe it's because of the Covid rise in Wales, and they were taking every precaution possible.

Like you say many 'different vaccines for this flu jab malarkey', but how is data collected to find which is best/most effective/safest etc?

Weird me being asked to do that.
You helped out with herding the patients in and out?
How the heck did they do 1200 patients? In one day? And social distance?

I never saw another soul where I went, yet this nurse was doing other patients because of her list. A timed list for the day. There couldn't have been more than 24 names on her list. No one was waiting when I walked in.

Pre-laid 2m markers laid out at 0730. Patients were given specific time slots so queue was kept very small and outside. Two on queue, one on door checking temperatures and ensuring masks, two indoors to keep people distancing, 1 nurse directing patients to one of the 4 nurses to jab each with an admin member on the computer, separate exit with a helper on the door and two on wheelchair access duty. We were in full PPE and had decent weather. All in and done between 0830-1330. Then repeated the following Saturday but only for about 700 patients.

That thought is scary. Maybe we are all just being used for a huge experiment, no I mustn't go there. :)

Interesting @dunelm
An incredible amount of people done in an extremely efficient way.
No one took my temperature, nor asked me if I had any Covid symptoms/or if I felt okay.
I was done in total isolation today, with no other soul around as I walked in, and as I was taken down the deserted corridor, told to wait, then told to walk to the door, it was virtually done in the fresh air because it was done right by the open door to outside.
I had this eerie feeling I was being led to a concentration camp.

This was a vast contrast to last year, obviously pre-Covid, where everyone was milling around, and there was cake and biscuits and tea and coffee, and stalls all around the huge waiting room with community based stuff, where we had to sit and wait after the jab (for 15/20 minutes) with all this around us, and people were gossiping and talking. It was almost like a community outing last year rather than just a flu jab.

Well we are all being used for a huge experiment aren't we?

Anyone remember when we were children in the 1950's. I was in a swimming pool, happily playing, as were many other children, the sky was blue, no clouds. Then these men in white hazard type suits and spaceship type protection stuff over their faces and heads (that is how my child mind saw it), and they sprayed misty stuff all over us children in the swimming pool. I have never been able to find anything online about it. But I remember it.

good evening all :)

4.4 today

had a lazy day today, only going out to the post office and to collect mum's shopping list for the shopping trek tomorrow ;)

Hope your day is treating you kindly :)

@HarryBeau - ouch that bill's not funny, at least it got fixed fairly quickly though

@dunelm - I love how you managed to create such a solid landscape with your skillful minimal strokes :joyful:

@gennepher - I like your joyous colourful horse :) and I do think that the IPastel app is working well for you :) , hopefully the flu jab 'activation' period will go off without a hitch.

@Alien Aspie - very effective depiction of fire you've given us :)

@Muddy Cyclist - I missed your birthday :sorry: so allow me wish you many Happy (if belated) Returns and an absence of fluffy brushes ;)

art bit - this one is after a work by Michael Morgan

I wonder what health problems that caused for us children?

And why was it done when we were in the swimming pool?

It was thought to kill head lice so you saw it a lot at pools. As far as I remember it is classed as a carcinogenic in high doses.
