BOGOF.. I was given the pneumonia jab as well My BOGOF included shingles. Until I checked, I thought Americans put those on their roofs😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted November 4, 2020 #7778 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Here in the frozen north the system for the vaccine changed this year. Instead of GPs doing the injections locally they have been done at health board level but in local town and village halls or as a drive through to be Covid safe (window down, arm stabbed, move on). It seems to have worked fairly well everywhere except the 2 big cities Where the travel distances have apparently been too far compared to Gp surgeries.

Surrey isn't north, unless you live in Hampshire🤣 We had ours last week - we were invited to a Saturday clinic in September, but were away. I enquired about the pneumonia jab and the nurse immediately offered to give me that as well whilst I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that advice was given a week ago it will be obsolete. Any profession with a degree of expertise will already have its protocols/procedures written with various options to take account of changes. One of the fundamental stages in any procedure is ' Review'. A good procedure won't involve pulling anything out of hats. That ain't planning, it's panic. You can have all of the protocols in the world until someone changes all of the rules you are governed by at the last minute. Please don't question my expertise.... no need for that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone needs to be flexible in the current pandemic, there will undoubtedly be lots of occasions when last minute changes are requested by the authorities, and we all have to be willing to make allowances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for being flexible but when the lockdown was announced on Saturday and we get guidance at about 4pm today re who can work for us tomorrow morning etc etc etc it is not helpful when we have lots of little people to look after. They could have given it to us earlier in the week . To be honest, unless you've experienced the chaos we've had to cope with in education you would not believe it. Eg We were told schools were closing on the Wednesday other than for key workers and vulnerable children. (during the briefing to the nation via the TV). We had the list of who classed as a key worker at about 4am on the Friday morning we closed to most pupils. Really helpful, not.

I think those in the various medical professions have been supremely flexible, given the huge demands placed on them. And they’ve been more than willing to make allowances. They do have to have confidence in the country’s leaders to meet those same exacting standards, though - as we all do - and all the evidence available so far, both in terms of deaths, and in appalling economic fallout, suggests very clearly that they have not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young 'uns like me (50-64) were supposed to be done 'later' i.e. November, but there is no sign of anything happening. Are the younger age group being 'done' in Yorkshire? I was 'done' in October, I'm 54.. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have no idea how difficult it is to plan ahead where children are concerned and the knock-on effects on working parents are huge. You have my sympathies. Good luck. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just want to keep our children, our staff, our parents and their families and the wider community safe .... and the children (and adults) shielded from the stress as much as possible.

I can understand your frustrations Presto. We all have, and some still are, feeling the same to varying degrees. I sympathise with the situation you are finding yourself in, and I'm sure many others in your profession must be feeling the same. There's not a lot that I can do, except to say that if you need to vent, my back is broad enough, so feel free. I make a good sounding board and won't take offence.
