How is your area getting through the vaccine program after those in age order?

Six weeks since I had mine, here in East Cheshire, and I have heard nothing but good reports of the progress here. There are signs around the town pointing to the Civic Centre which is our local hub.

I do know in my area they were red hot on the first bunch of us over 80's. How they've fared with illness or disability I don't know but I can imagine they've been just as efficient with marked up venues for all areas.
I'm in Wirral just over the water from Liverpool.

Yes indeed the Minister promised 'bumper weeks' in March so I your daughter gets hers soon. I was so pleased my daughter (asthmatic) got hers last week in Warrington. Our area is doing very well too.

Thank you for your replies

No, NotaGran 55, only social care/health care/social workers and funeral/mortuary workers can book through it here. I have just tried again, it gives me the same page as it has always done.

Casdon, that makes sense re supply issues, maybe it is just that.

I just looked it up for Wales for you, 16.4% in the clinical risk group have been vaccinated so far, so there’s a long way to go here.
There’s been a vaccine shortage UK wide for the last two weeks, but they are ramping it up again from this week as there are now more stocks apparently. I hope your daughter gets her vaccine soon.

Our area appears to be lagging, I have emailed my MP and tweeted but I think even her tweets get carried by pigeons over several hundred miles to her actual home.

My daughter has a severe learning disability, cannot social distance and has other complex health needs. She would be group 6 but with JCVI regulations she is definitely group 4 and I have just about had enough of being fobbed off. Even every single person I have spoken to on 119 has said they have been able to book other people in with similar needs/disabilities.

I just wondered if this was typical? The government made an announcement last week saying people with SLD should have the vaccine with immediate effect, this clearly is not true.

I have checked with the GP, she is eligible but they have no control apparently about who is called and when.
