Covid- 19 - Second wave

[Primo Carnera]

My dad had the oxford astrazeneca vaccine yesterday, got a slight fever today but should be Ok. His next one is in April.

They would not give me one.

Liked that for your pop, not cause you couldn’t get one. Now master I would think since you work with people in the criminal justice system you should be early to get it. Or I’d England going strictly by age. I work with a number of probation officers most are just getting there second shots this week. Mine is next week. Regardless glad you’re pop got it.

They are going by age, some frontline key workers have got it but not in my sector. We are now having to wear masks at work and reduced hours with our offender's.

Ah understood. Tbh I think that is the smart way to do it. We didn’t do age first in the US because of equity so they did frontline workers. I would have gladly given up my spot for an elderly person but race came into play even in distributing the vax. Glad England is doing those who are more likely to die first. I was a bit miffed I got mine before my mother did but I don’t make the rules

It’s an interesting one. There is a school of thought that the elderly shouldn’t be first . Infact in Indonesia, they’ve done the opposite.
I do understand it. Make the elderly shield strictly for a couple of months more, and give the Vaccine to the age groups who are moving the wheels of industry and society forward. And at the same time , they are the people who have most social contact.
I’m not saying I think it’s the way forward, but it’s definitely food for thought.
