Because I'm considered "high risk" I've had three attempts to get my third jab up to now.
1st one was at a chemist in Portsmouth, got there and looked through the window, didn't see one person with a mask on including the pharmacists so walked away...
2nd one the queue was all around the building and they were only open for two hours so I didn't think there was any chance of me getting a jab.
3rd time I was at work when the surgery called to offer me a jab...
So now I have two invites going at the same time. One for 4th January and one I have to call for today at my local surgery. But again I'm working Saturday so might need to miss that again.
On the plus side, I'm pretty sure I had it in March 2019 just before I built that huge warehouse in Corby that we slowly filled up with chinese PPE that we had probably sold them previously, some of it was coming in container trucks FFS...
I'm not going to worry too much about it now, I figure that with the number of people I've seen on TV standing in queues waiting for the jab but not wearing a face mask, there's probablty as much chance of getting it whilst in the queue as being around the public. I know the mask is to protect the person sat next to you.
On the other hand, if I catch it, it's been nice "knowing" you all. ;-)

Good luck with it. I am assuming non-Omicron here, since we are out of London, but who knows? Rest of our household had negative PCR on Sun/Mon and neg LFT since. If it isn't Omicron then perhaps me and the misses not getting it is a possibility, but still expecting younger son to get it - if he doesn't get it from his older brother, he's probably picked it up from school since apparently 10 of his class were off with it today alone(!) so we are under special instructions from them for daily LFT, although we were doing that already.Originally posted by mudskipper View Post
We are under a double-pronged attack on Christmas at my Dad's, since my bother in London tested positive yesterday - he's got his own family to infect now. So far all of us out for Christmas, but any more positives between now and the 25th and it looks like it's off. Oh, and my brother had dinner with my sister's family on Sunday which could be interesting if it is Omicron - so make that triple-pronged.Leave a comment:

They were shutting down classes and whole year groups, but that was in 2020. Now it is 2x LFT a week per child (voluntary), class closed with 5 cases - although that doesn't seem uniformly applied since my other (younger) son has > 5 cases in his class right now - there were 10 off today, and school continues. I don't know if you've got school age kids, but around here there are very few of them who haven't had the virus by now - we seemed to hold out far longer than most. The government have really not done much to help schools prevent spread at all, and also no sign of the vaccine approval for 5 - 11 year olds yet which annoys me since many other countries have done this. It may well turn out to have been a reasonable course of action, but we have far less long term knowledge of this virus than we do of chicken pox so I think there is always a risk.Originally posted by d000hg View PostLeave a comment:
