Thanks.
The first two jabs you could pick a day and time. At the moment for the third one you get a time and date.
If fact trying now, the nearest is Canterbury on the 29th or 30th. I can't afford to take a day off work for this.

Is anyone else fed up with the continual emphasis being put of the number of unfortunate people who have the virus, surely the only really important figure is the number requiring hospital admission.
Are the media are correct with their attempt at scaremongering when in the same breath they say the effects of this new variant seem to be slight amongst those fully vaccinated and it is mainly the unvaccinated needing hospitalisation?

My main concerns are with all those selfish people who refuse to get vaccinated for no sensible reason who are spreading this virus putting everyone else and the NHS under extra pressure.
I know it could never happen but I would love to deny treatment and let them take their chances with recovery at home so the NHS could treat those who are seriously ill through no fault of their own.

Jan you do know that having the vaccine doesn't stop you catching or passing on the virus? It's not selfish to not want an unnecessary medical procedure!

I certainly do know that but it all depends on the classification of unnecessary, sometimes the greater good of others is much more important. The killer Smallpox would still be around if it was not for the vaccinations.

Reginald
I think if people decide they don't want the vaccine then that's fine as a choice .
But with the virus that person's choice could give me no choice !
It's the part of the freedom of choice , if it only affected that Individual then fine, but it doesn't and could affect a lot more people .
I'm with jan
Those who make these decisions then become invected and run to get the jab I'm not so sure that's right , but In a country of today we allow them to plead to have the vaccine even if they have been vocal against vaccines
Something not quite right there

Keith nobody is catching covid and then running to get vaccinated, if you catch and survive covid (like the vast majority do) then it gives you a natural immunity for up to 8 months. (as with the vaccine you can still catch and pass it on)
If you want to prevent yourself catching covid your only guarantee is to avoid other people vaccinated or not. The biggest problem is if you are around vaccinated people you are likely to be less cautious and increase your risk of catching it.
How do you feel about those refusing the vaccine on religious grounds?
