Vaccination

[jimmymac]

I will be happy when I get my 2nd jab, due next week. I'll think about booster injections after that.

Yes Frankie, these ant-vaccine folk forget what it was like.  My Mum lost a sister to diphtheria, my Uncle had TB and I had a friend at school who wore calipers on her legs after having polio

[frankie]

I can remember being quite upset in hospital when I didn't have calipers but others on the ward did.  We did have lovely baths in warm wax though.  It was a tin bath but I cannot remember how it was heated.
Thankfully I think it has all but been eliminated in the World now.  One day maybe Covid will be...

Just had mine at Olula.  Organised Chaos but done now

Absolute chaos, Jim had his second today.  Arrived at 10.15 for appointment at 10.20.  only just arrived home!  Me in two weeks time.

[Judi_bk]

My appointment was 9.49 (very precise)  a neighbour had 9.36 so we went together and got there around 9.  Vaccination didn't start until about 10.10 and there where well over 100 cars

It seems to be a bit hit and miss. We had our AZ at Huercal Overa a few weeks ago, in and out no queues. Friends had over an hour queue. I took a neighbour to Olula del Rio two weeks ago, lots of queues, but still only took 40 minutes. Police did a superb job, even though lots of people turned up over an hour early, hence the queues.

I had my 2nd jab today at Olula and as Roscoe says . absolute chaos!
My time was supposed to be 10.20am, we arrived in Olula at 10.00 am took approx 90 mins to get in the fairground where the vaccines were being done. Just so many cars everywhere being held in queues. we were queueing on the rambla at one stage Police and medical staff doing a great job but something wrong in the planning maybe of trying to do so many people in the one day, who knows it could just be lots of people without appointments pushing their luck.
Never mind done now, really looking forward to going with the wife when she gets her 2nd jab.

I would rather we have to wait in a queue rather than the paramedics waiting for people to turn up.
The important thing is that the process is moving very fast.

[Judi_bk]

Just glad to have had it Roger

[jimmymac]

So am I, just surprised to see that many cars in Olula at 10am in the morning. :kiss

  Hi, had a 5.27. appointment at Olula, (9.30. had been changed). Straight in no waiting front of the few cars that were there. Jab within 4 minutes, 10 minute wait and out. Very well organised pm. Then to Mercadona which was also very quiet and well stocked. Just lucky I guess.

[frankie]

I heard that a friend had to queue for nearly 3 hours on wednesday at Olula.  The end of the queue was almost as far back as the high street.  I have my second next wednesday at 9.17 but the vaccines don't arrive until about 10. 

[jimmymac]

Best of luck frankie, something seriously wrong with the time spent queuing, don't care what anyone else says.

[frankie]

I'll let you know how it goes on wednesday.  They were very quick and efficient for the first jab in Olula
