Is now a mass vaccination centre.
Its in the centre of Salisbury and local volunteers are being used to pick up the elderly from outlying villages twice a week.
Good idea? |

That is my thoughts.
It is tricky because there a lot a very small villages with an older population all round that area, you would need to be able to access the majority of places that could give you a vaccine by car. |

I had thought about this before, how the older generation were getting to these centres. Some will have a bubble family member, but not all... |

Windows open, masks & sanitiser used... minimises risk.
The cathedral organists are in there providing suitable background music, too. What a setting for a life-changing jab! |

I posed this question after something I saw on another social media platform.
Somebody suggested maybe the volunteers could be trained to deliver the vaccine and give them in people's homes. Not sure how I feel about that either but I guess there has to be some way to give the vaccine to those that can't access centres under their own steam. |

I completely agree with you but on the local news they interviewed some older people who said they didn't want to get in someone elses car because the government had told them not to share cars.
Hopefully like you said because it is such a beautiful and trusted setting by many older person it will encourage more to go. |

No I don't think I agree with that..there will be a lot of housebound people, district nurses could go round, but it will take some time. |

"Is there ample car parking ?"
Yes and car parking charges have been suspended for those going to get their vaccine.
They are doing the vaccine clinics 2 days a week at the cathedral. |

That is the thing it's the time so would it make a difference if it was a trained volunteer? |

I wonder what the % of elderly population have their own transportation. I'd say it's quite high. That leaves those who rely upon public transport it friends.
The only way to minimise any of the risks associated with traveling to the vaccine centres is to have a mobile vaccination unit that will go out to reach these people. Is this feasible? Maybe, maybe not |

Again if it's possible probably the best idea.
There has been talk about that By some government ministers but as yet I'm not aware of many up and running. |

Yes, that would work, I don't know how easy it is to do. The only thing is, what if they have a reaction to the jab.. |

In the over 80 population I would say the percentage of people that don't have their own transport is fairly high. As we go down the list of priorities i think it will be less of a problem. |

Thats true.
Like we have both said it's a tricky one but it would be good if there was lots of different options available. |

The BBC website had an article yesterday saying it takes ten times as long to do a vaccination in a care home than in a medical hub as you often have to go to residents rooms, they are slower to take their cardigans off and a lot need much more explanation about what is happening to them. If vaccinators were driving round to people's home it would be even slower, especially as they have to sit with them 15 minutes afterwards. |

Its happening at Lichfield cathedral as well.
I did see some Doctors in the Derbyshire Peaks, are going out to do vaccinations at peoples homes. The snow in the area, makes it perilous for people to travel out. |

Ash has just had quite a good idea actually he said that you have a huge military base in Salisbury could they use army medics be used to get to people who can't leave home. |

Yes of course but we are not talking about a huge percentage of the population I was just thinking of those that are in that situation.
The majority of people will be able to get to a vaccination centre with relative ease. |

yes.. I've been a volunteer from the start and have just been asked to start picking people up for local vaccinations. We have to abide by some very strict rules |

That's good to know and thank you for what you are doing.
Is there a fairly high take up? |

I think the centre's are based upon volunteers, some who will not be from a clinical background who will have received training with trained medical staff on hand to both monitor and support..
Where it to be community based they would have less numbers done per day.. |

I think it’s probably the safest way for them to get the vaccine. The logistics of doing at home I don’t think is possible realistically and quickly which would just delay it.
We had a Dr walking a mile in the snow to one of our nursing homes on Twitter yesterday- just amazing! x |

"It follows Lichfield cathedral which started the same earlier in the week. Plenty of space and all rules followed of course - better than a poky small place and no new building required "
I totally agree that it is a brilliant idea I was just wondering what would happen to those who would find it difficult to get to a centre and there's been some really interesting thoughts and ideas on this thread. |

The good Sam volunteers are available and can be requested via GP's, still active since the early days ..
The vaccination voluntary roles are mainly for the centres but are requiring DBS checks etc for some of those, no doubt if there's issues locally re transpirty it will be addressed no doubt.. |

Haven't read all the thread but response to the use of it.
Great idea in my opinion.
For starters it's going to be easier to clean due.
Also high large airy space super high ceilings and easier to distance everyone.
Plus God will be happy with a good use of his house.
Salisbury cover's a vast area many small rural towns and villages can't see any issues with picking up people and bringing them to a central location.
Why not |

I had a Lateral Flow test in a function room above a Hindu temple, they had the music coming from downstairs being piped in. |
