Vaccine rollout

[Brummijam]

With the rollout due to start tomorrow I am wondering who will be the first to post on this board having received the jab.?

personally it can’t happen soon enough for me, then perhaps we can get back to  something like normal.

Had my flu jab BJ but I don't think that's the one you are posting about💉🤭

Hi PC.

I was alluding to the Covid jab but on re reading my opening post not really clearly.😄

Hope all is well with you, 😉

Not that anxious to get mine...I just want the rest of the country to become immune.

I’d have mine today if I could.

 

Not only to safeguard myself but other folks as well.

[Brummijam]

Same here NC, My appointment can’t come through soon enough.💉

[howmuch!]

I'm 72 and hope I'm wrong, but with Boris and his team are organising everything, I'm not expecting mine before the summer.

With Saga announcing today that all passengers will be required to have the vaccine when cruises resume, I think it is reasonable to assume that this will become the standard protocol.  https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/5830/

[Jim The Scot]

Read the article and they say they are pushing there restart date to May 4 to allow passengers to get vaccinated in time for their cruise.

 

Do they know something I dont?

 

JCV rollout not expecting my vaccine till some time in May and thats on the basis things go according to plan

That's disappointing and a little worrying, I have had a call from my doctor today asking me to have mine early next Tuesday instead of Friday, but will not cancel my Friday appointment until I've had my the Tuesday one, I would imagine it's a logistical nightmare for them at the moment but hopefully it will work out for us all in the end. Good luck. 🤞

I am a fit and healthy 47 year old and I have just been contacted by text to book in for my first vaccine which I will receive on 26th Feb, I'd say that is quite some effort by all involved in providing the vaccine to the population and it would suggest that a target of May wasnt as unrealistic as maybe first thought.

Hubby and I had  ours today - I felt quite excited!  Really getting through them in our area, local docs did 600 today so we have high hopes all targets will be met.  Not sure what will happen then though, cruises will be limited what ports they visit.  Think there will be lots of changes.

[Brummijam]

I had my jab a couple of weeks ago and since then confidence is slowly returning regarding going out and about,  but still following the distancing/hand washing regime. We have even started to look at itineraries towards the end of this year It does seem to me that the prices have increased quite a bit compared to similar cruises in2019.

Ok

Despite having had vaccine not sure we want to cruise this year - there are bound to be restriction in place on board ship for some time to come, nobody is likely to tell us what they may be. Better to wait, we are booked on Explorer2 for June 2022 - at least something to look forward to.

Hi Ormy.

On the Marella website there is a page entitled “What to expect onboard” in it there is info regarding what measures we can expect to see when we are allowed back on the ships.

Keep well.

You’re welcome PC.

Regarding sunbeds it should be ok,

We’re a civilised nation allegedly.😏😂

Thanks BJ - just looked it up - too many restrictions for our liking at the present time - wearing a mask on ship, no way I'm afraid rather stop at home. If they are going to space sunbeds will there be enough to go round. Hopefully by 2022 there will be no restrictions.

Thanks again BJ
