[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2372590, member: 527609"] That's great, if you're able to properly isolate until at least 3 weeks after you've had your first dose. If you're a critical worker in a public facing role, or have kids who are about to go back to school, it's both frustrating and frightening to see the vaccine being handed out willy-nilly to those who are at lower risk and are supposed to be lower priority than you, and to still have no idea whether it's going to be days or weeks before you get yours. My son is being asked back to school from the 8th and is expected to attend from the 15th. It takes 3 weeks to develop proper immunity from the first dose, and the former means I've been vaccinated less than 2 weeks, and the latter still means less than 3. The school had a case of covid this week, among the small number of pupils currently attending. With the school pushing it through for me as a carer, I managed to get my jab on Thursday. The call from my GP to be vaccinated as 'clinically vulnerable' came round on Saturday morning. Who knows whether I could have got an appointment the same day, or had to wait another week? So by all means sit and wait patiently if you're safe. It's not like any of us can do much socially and recreationally until mid April, anyway. But the clock was, and still is ticking for others of us. And it's galling to see it turn into a postcode lottery with neighbouring areas getting cohort 9 vacinated while your own runs short on supplies half way through cohort 6, 10 days later. [/QUOTE]
