My mum is 81 and heard nothing and neither have her over 80yr old friends but Nicola is now saying they are onto the 70year olds. What is going on?. Are Scotland lagging behind?.

No idea, I'm lost. Damn Sat nav!

"So this really is giving false hope. Scotland think they are doing well when moving so fast down the ages when in reality so many have been missed."
I dont think that's the case one regional area might have more 80s & over than another regional area therefor it will take longer to vaccinate everyone .

Also as has been said different regional areas are not rolling out the vaccine at the same pace

All 80’s will be vaccinated by the end of the first week in February.

Some will decline, and the BBC will manage to find Karen’s mum has been missed though

Who knows what goes on in her head anymore. Don’t even think she knows. My job requires me to go into all sorts of houses dealing with all sorts of people and yet we are way down the list, if we’re even on it, yet security guards and various office based jobs have all received it before 1, your mum and 2, frontline responders. It’s an absolute joke. I’ve voted SNP for the last time, her constant indyref chat on top of the absolute farce that this covid situation has turned out... no faith anymore.

The posted stats by both England and Scotland is that we’ve both done ~7.5% of our total populations when I looked at them a few days ago. There really isn’t a lot in it.

People need to understand that some areas will be faster than others and that situations change.

Logistically this is a challenge of Brobdingnagian proportions (I love that word) also people shouldn’t expect it to be a smooth downward line on a graph. (That’s not how large projects go)

Calamity Jeanne claims that the roll out of the vaccine has not been delayed. The hold up is due the lack of blue envelopes that are available.

Still look on the bright side. Scotland’s vaccine roll out could have been a whole lot worse if still in the EU. Perhaps there was method in the SNPs madness in voting for a no deal Brexit.

Did she have the power to prevent Scottish restaurants running the scheme? Of course, she could have kept the pubs and restaurants closed but that's something entirely different.

Yes, it COULD have been IF Scotland was still in the EU AND Scotland had taken part in the EU's joint vaccine procurement scheme.

However, no EU member was obliged to join the scheme so perhaps check your facts before commenting.

Different health boards have set up their vaccination programmes differently to suit their own geography and population spread.

As such it can be difficult to directly compare them.

She had similar powers to enforce minimum pricing on the sale alcohol , so yes she could have prevented "eat out" rules but why would she . We know she doesn't have a crystal ball just like the UK government doesn't have a crystal ball on every decision either. My point is you can't pick and choose the fuckups that support your own agenda you simply have to accept No country has got it right including Scotland.

She has powers to enforce minimum pricing on the sale alcohol thanks to the The Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012.

What gives her the power to tell a business that they can't claim money from the UK government?

You do realise that if you limit the spread of the virus it will mutate less?

You cut the head off the snake, allowing borders to remain open for 10 month without any preventative measures is the UK govt doing hence the 100,000 plus death toll.

No point in advocating isolation when you have a constant through fare from borders.

How low can this nasty piece of work go. She is now threatening to reveal the volume of vaccine supplies which could very well disrupt the roll out here in the U.K.

As if she hasn’t got enough blood on her hands already, if she does indeed go ahead then she’ll have a hell of a lot more.

This creature doesn’t care about anyone apart from herself. She’s more interested in covering up her and Peters corruption and cosying up the bullying bureaucrats in Brussels rather than getting the virus under controls and vaccine rolled out.

The tories asked for data, Nicola publishes data, the tories ask for its removal because it clearly shows the ineptitude of the UK’s (england) vaccine stocks. The tories and Labour then claim scotland is lagging behind and Nicola says fuck off then the data will be available again next week.

Scotland is behind England ... except in vaccinating care homes ... and death rate ... and transmission rate ... in other words all of the key areas.

The one that does annoy me is that on one of the diabetic websites, my clinic claimed to have been the first clinic in the UK to have given all their patients the first dose.

I must have slept through that one???

Just thinking - since so many companies are now developing vaccines, I can’t wait for Stella Artois, Greggs, Dominos and Jim Beam to do theirs

"Calamity Jeanne claims that the roll out of the vaccine has not been delayed. The hold up is due the lack of blue envelopes that are available.

Still look on the bright side. Scotland’s vaccine roll out could have been a whole lot worse if still in the EU. Perhaps there was method in the SNPs madness in voting for a no deal Brexit.

Yes, it COULD have been IF Scotland was still in the EU AND Scotland had taken part in the EU's joint vaccine procurement scheme.

However, no EU member was obliged to join the scheme so perhaps check your facts before commenting. "
best check your facts the big 3 in the EU were forced to scrap their talks with vac companies as we're told the EU would be taking care of it

It's a mess.

SNP saying they are following the JCVI yet my 70 year old fit as a flea uncle has got his vaccine while my 83 year old frail aunt with two other health problems still hasn't got hers so to say they are following JCVI to defend why we are 38% behind England is bare faced lying.

Apparently there aren't enough vaccines where my aunt lives.

Surely it's not that hard to take vaccines to where they are needed? Getting the vaccines to those most needing it saves lives and protects the NHS - this isn't a game.

But it's not even that difficult as there are hundreds of thousands in stock.

It's rank incompetence and doesn't help the independence argument.

Bojo and crew are idiots but the SNP are on another level.

Let me correct this as ive just read over it again.

It was posted on Nlc's website

but its actually open to anyone 80 or over who is registered with a gp in Lanarkshire so I'm then assuming its for both North & South Lanarkshire & not just the North ops

So hopefully all these people still waiting whether in North or south lanarkshire will get their vaccine

These are anything but normal times ... they are offering more vaccines to try and get them done quicker, is it good it’s out of area? Absolutely not! Is it good all the people in this category haven’t been done in their local authority already? Again absolutely not! Not everyone will have a bubble, not everyone will be able to travel but some will and will be more than happy to. If it were my parents I would drive them the length of the country, again I appreciate not everyone would or can but surely for the ones that can this can only be a good thing!!

I just want to point out at this stage before I’m accused of being an SNP supporter I’m not but as they are currently leading our country and making the decisions whether we like it or not ANY attempt to offer more vaccines has to be welcomed.

I'm pretty sure travelling to a place to get a vaccine, if you are eligible, would count as essential travel.

There's a few places down south where taxi drivers are being community spirited, and transporting some of the elderly there for free.

I’m at wits end with vaccine stuff, my 80+ year old dad has quite a few health issues and is house bound with a package of care and nurses in daily, he got a call a week past Friday to say the community vaccination team would be there Monday (25th jan) to do his vaccine.... came to yesterday and no one had been. I called GP and let rip, they tried to absolve themselves saying house bound patients were being done by a separate team, that wasn’t washing with me. Told them he was their patient so it was their responsibility to sort it.... less than half an hour later he had a call to say he’d be done Monday coming, his name was on a list as having had his vaccine already but “there had obviously been a mistake” angry does not cover my feelings and I won’t be letting it lie believe you me.

As for Edinburgh Lothian seems to be well behind, I know of several people (me included) who have done vaccination course so we could help at the mass vaccine centres and so far there is no way to sign up to do a shift there.

Colleagues in glasgow started helping at Louisa Jordan more than a week ago!

Lots of blunders being made. My friends mum aged 78 has had her letter with her date to be vaccinated whereas her 82year old dad who lives in the same house is still waiting even though they have the same doctor.

They couldn’t even carry out the simple task of purchasing the correct flu jab in 2018 so it’s hardly surprising that the COVID-19 vaccine roll out has been a mega monumental fuck up.

Has your friend or their dad contacted the surgery to enquire about getting the jag.

A friend hadn’t heard so she spoke to her surgery and they organised for her to get it this morning. She’s 94 btw

No idea, I'm lost. Damn Sat nav!

I think people need to realise this is something completely new to everyone.

There have been many mistakes made but everyone will get the vaccine who wants it !

For those who are concerned there loved ones haven't got it when they should have then call the gp and ask why!

Not that simple I’m afraid seems to be health boards sorting up here not GP’s, I should not have to phone and rant to get someone who fits the highest risk category their vaccine.

It’s also a smack in the teeth when Tesco delivery drivers (and no offence is meant) are being trained up on a one day course to vaccinate in England but me with 20+ years experience (and I’ve done vaccines before) is willing but not being utilised. I’ve got many gripes with Westminster and up until lately had more faith in our government up here but i have some serious gripes with them at moment! "
You said further up the post you called your dads gp about him not getting the vaccine and he's now getting it this Monday so they must be able to do something about those who haven't got when they should have .

I know its not ideal

Wasn’t them that organised it I complained to them and they repeatedly said it wasn’t theirs to sort. I called them as there is literally no where else to enquire, my mum who is in her 70s herself was on phone in tears to me and had phoned twice this week and they just kept saying it’s not them. Think the call was coincidence.

He was also told last 8 days ago he was to get it last Monday so I’ll actually believe it when I’ve had my mum on the phone to tell me he’s had it!

I’m first to big up nhs as we do our best but it’s failed so many in so ways during the last year.

"A load of rubbish these figures not true

Care to share what you consider to be the true figures ? "

your percentage figures look very awesome for Scottish government on vaccination for care homes but in reality the figures are damming for SNP you stated that 95% care homes in Scotland has been vaccinated .Currently there are approx 1,388,838 folk in Scottish care homes so using your percentage 95% that means 1319396 vaccinated in Scotland.

In England there are approx 13,465,551 folk in care homes using your percentage of 65% that is 8752608 that has been vaccinated in England compared to 1319396 In Scotland that’s 7,433,212 vaccinated behind England so please don’t use percentages to prove your point use figures

I've had my vaccine in December but it's only office hours. If they are serious they should do it 24 hrs round the clock to get double the doses in, that's the only way cases will fall sharply in a few weeks moreover some that had recent infection are likely to be immune for 6 months

"I’m at wits end with vaccine stuff, my 80+ year old dad has quite a few health issues and is house bound with a package of care and nurses in daily, he got a call a week past Friday to say the community vaccination team would be there Monday (25th jan) to do his vaccine.... came to yesterday and no one had been. I called GP and let rip, they tried to absolve themselves saying house bound patients were being done by a separate team, that wasn’t washing with me. Told them he was their patient so it was their responsibility to sort it.... less than half an hour later he had a call to say he’d be done Monday coming, his name was on a list as having had his vaccine already but “there had obviously been a mistake” angry does not cover my feelings and I won’t be letting it lie believe you me.

Colleagues in glasgow started helping at Louisa Jordan more than a week ago! "

Working in a vaccine centre, myself and a colleague could each easily see over 50 patients a day each. Total between us over 100.

Visiting over 80s in own home. Travel, set up, jab, clean up, wait 15minutes, into car and onwards. Lucky to get 12 a day.

New vaccinators are constantly joining rota but we are trickling them in to ensure proper inductions.

Also constrained by amount of virus received.

I hate to break it to you but your numbers are ridiculous.

You claim 1.38million in care homes in Scotland.

The entire population of Scotland is 5.45million.

You are trying to say that a quarter of Scotland live in care homes?

And you can't use figures when comparing different sizes of population.

England is approximately 10 times as populous as Scotland.

So if we used figures. If Scotland vaccinated 5.45million it would have vaccinated everyone. If England did the same amount, it would only be 1 in 10 of the population.

Sorry I took figures from the wrong spread sheet

There were 40,926 registered care home places available on 31 March 2017

95% 0f 40,926 =38879.7 approx vaccinated using 2017 figures

Figures taken from https://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Health-and-Social-Community-Care/Publications/2018-09-11/2018-09-11-CHCensus-Report.pdf

Approximately 418,000 people live in english care homes (Laing and Buisson survey 2016). This is 4% of the total population aged 65 years and over, rising to 15% of those aged 85 or more.

Figures taken from https://www.mha.org.uk/news/policy-influencing/facts-stats/#:~:text=Approximately%20418%2C000%20people%20live%20in,the%20total%20care%20home%20population.

65% of 41800 =271700 approx in England using 2016 figures

95% 0f 40,926 =38879 approx in Scotland using 2017 figures

Which means England vaccinated 178,821 more

Which is why percentages are used in public health.

It's nonsensical to directly compare total numbers in different sized populations when measuring effiency.

Love Nippy Nicky or hate her (I’m the latter)...you’ve got to agree Scotland’s vaccination programme is way behind where it should be. And shouting about an independence campaign right now when we are trying to get through a pandemic, isn’t great either. To have that at the forefront of her mind right now really shows what’s she all about. Oh and being on the TV every day during the week dribbling the same shite...does she not have anything better to do?

Scotlands vaccination programme isn't way behind,in fact it's better than England's. Our care homes have virtually all been vaccinated compared to England who are struggling to cope. London with a population similar to Scotland is the worst region in the UK for vaccinations.

If you voted for them then you’d know they kinda like to talk about and deliver independence.

Scotland had as little as 2 deaths in the summer but the UK govt allowed our airports, ports etc to remain open.

We’re surrounded by water, how have other islands faired so much better ? "

Indeed. The blind faith people show in this woman is concerning. Despite the continual.praise she gets from certain quarters she really hasn't done any better a job than Boris Johnson. I know being better than Boris and England is all these sorts care about but we really are in no better a position than them.

I fear these folk are going to get their independence dream as they have been sucked in by this charlatan and then the shit will really hit our fans.

Fear? What nauseating smugness you have. Completely unfounded too seeing you've had your referendum and lost and there isn't any sign of another. So absolutely no fear here fella, I sleep easy in my bed at night. Can you say the same or does the massive chip on your shoulder hinder you?
