Quote from: Cudzoziemiec on 05 March, 2021, 12:46:12 pmEmail gives three specific dates and timeslots. If it is going to be every Monday and Thursday then it makes a bit of sense.I'm working at a school testing centre, and it's just the three tests as they go back, and then home testing.The school I'm at are making arrangements for a significant number of pupils who can't or won't test at home to be tested in school.The school does not believe that the home test results will be at all reliable and predict another government u-turn on school testing. (Would you self-report a positive test if you were 15 knowing you'd miss out on seeing your mates, and have to go for a blood test?)

I'll try to keep this brief.A friend of ours in his sixties who like me has been partially sighted since birth though his sight has not degenerated to legally blind has just received an invite to get his first jab. He doesn't drive and has never driven. He lives about 400m from the local mass vaccination centre where other friends of ours from all around Rugby have received their first jab. He has been invited to travel to Coventry or Milton Keynes.WTF?Which wanker has overseen such a ridiculously unfit for purpose pile of shite? He's trying but without any success at the moment to get this changed. The system doesn't appear to cope with such clearly obvious requests.
Online booking now opened to those aged 56 and over.
Hmmm, as evidenced by the 12 point lead the Tories have in the polls?

Judging from the figures, Wales have a slight difference of emphasis, tilting more towards 2nd doses, which would be fine by me had not my twin (in Harrogate) had hers on Satuday, and my wife (younger than me but with a minor health issue) having been invited for hers this Saturday. Not jealous.
Technology and system seem to have worked smoothly for him.
I completely agree with Reg.
Wife booked her jabs last night. First one is 26th March. Both at surgery about 1.3 miles away. Reasonable selection of local options from what I could see. Now just need it to open up to lower 50 age groups so I can book mine. This is Hertfordshire.

Nearest I was offered was Bath. Ended up arranging the jab in Reading, which may be further away, but I have work-related reasons for going there.
