Areas of Blackburn to offer vaccine to over-18s
People aged 18 and over in the three areas of Blackburn will be able to book an appointment for a Pfizer vaccine from next week.
It comes after cases of the Indian variant of coronavirus were found in the town in Lancashire, north-west England.
The national booking system for England is currently only open to people aged 38 and over.
Over-18s living in the following areas of Blackburn will be able to get an appointment:
- Shear Brow & Corporation Park
- Billinge & Beardwood
- Bastwell & Daisyfield
Scientists believe the variant first identified in India could be more transmissible than the Kent variant, which is dominant in the UK. But there is currently insufficient evidence to indicate it may cause more severe disease or make current vaccines any less effective.
They found four thousand holes there as well, according to the Beatles2 -

As a Millwall fan, I'm sure there will be thousands of West Ham fans wanting to give you a jab. A right hook, an upper cut...Big_Bad_World said:Finally managed to get an appointment for my first jab.
24th May, in Bexley Village.
Had been trying to book a local(ish) one for a while but only ever got offered East London options and I'm not fully up to speed on the inoculations I need to go there, so held out.

Interesting thanks. I haven't installed the App yet as I need a new phone anyway, but it will be interesting to see if my online "Patient Access" record is updated that way.bobmunro said:Arsenetatters said:bobmunro said:My Green Tick has been activated on the myGP app, 12 days after the second jab.That's my passport sorted!!
did it automatically update?No.I clicked on the link and it said 'eligible' (I've been checking the last couple of days and it was saying 'ineligible - try later'), loaded a photo (required) and hey presto.It did say it would become eligible 12 days after the second jab, and it was 12 days today.0 -
Anybody without a smartphone or unable to access the app should dial 119 & a proof of vaccines will be posted to them.killerandflash said:

It would of got over here anyway but that week or so of not closing our boarders to Indian would not of helped. Not a huge surprise that most of those areas of Blackburn have an Asian majority.clive said:Areas of Blackburn to offer vaccine to over-18s

A few years ago I met a German couple on holiday.
We have remained good friends and have met a few times since.
Speaking to them today they said that in northern Germany where they live there is no Vaccine available for the population until June.
They are aged 69 and 65 and have not any injection yet and don’t expect to be inoculated until October/November.
During the Brexit vote they really tried to convince us that we should vote remain. Now they say that they wished Germany could leave the EU.
They and their friends are envious of the way that Britain has inoculated the British people.

just just had my first (Pfizer). Sitting in the post waiting area now at Guys. Very efficient all round. Got a text a few days ago and simple as that. I thought maybe I wouldn’t get mine until end of May maybe.9

Both my Mum and my daughter contracted Covid after being vaccinated with both being in the vulnerable group - barely a symptom between them. Proved to me how effective the vaccine is and I imagine they would have been seriously ill without it.Billericaydickie said:A few years ago I met a German couple on holiday.

Can’t believe I’m even writing this but I need some help.
A friend of mine has sent me a video of his Mrs’ dad’s arm becoming magnetic at the vaccine site after having his Pfizer jab. He puts the magnet to his arm and it sticks. He has told me his mum is also the same. Magnet sticks on vaccine arm, but drops on the other.I tried Googling an explanation to debunk him
and whilst they said the vaccine cannot be magnetic, I have not found an explanation as to why the magnet would be sticking... can anybody help me explain this to him?0 -
I’ve heard this can happen if you have too much iron in your blood and the vaccination takes place within 500 yards of a 5G tower.DoctorCharlton said:Can’t believe I’m even writing this but I need some help.

Had to change my second jab appointment by a couple of days due to a surprise stag do/booze up being arranged and it was all very easy to cancel and re book .0

I asked for a magnet when I had my vaccine done to check if my arm had become magnetic but they didn't have any. Sounds like a massive cover up.DoctorCharlton said:Can’t believe I’m even writing this but I need some help.

I'm not sure if all doses are magnetic or whether it's just a few. The best advice is to take a magnet with you and check the vaccine before they give it to you.

A friend went to The Valley yesterday afternoon for first vaccine and they’d had 80 no shows in 1 day. Seemed a lot to me, but I don’t know how normal that is.0

I posted on the Coronavirus thread yesterday that my wife went for her first at Aspire pharmacy in Sidcup. Said it was mega busy buy they were accommodating a lot of people who just turned up without a booking.stoneroses19 said:A friend went to The Valley yesterday afternoon for first vaccine and they’d had 80 no shows in 1 day.

Very difficult situation. They wouldn’t want to advertise that and have hundreds of people turn up without a booking but at the same time the waste isn’t good at all.stoneroses19 said:A friend went to The Valley yesterday afternoon for first vaccine and they’d had 80 no shows in 1 day.

stoneroses19 said:A friend went to The Valley yesterday afternoon for first vaccine and they’d had 80 no shows in 1 day. Seemed a lot to me, but I don’t know how normal that is.I had a 2nd vaccine booked for next week through the main NHS site but had a text via a local NHS trust for an earlier one a few weeks ago, which I went to. Can I get the original one cancelled? No. Despite going on the 'manage my appointments' it tells me I've had both - yet I've had a reminder for next week's one. It's probably why Aspire can hand them out - it was booked for there. I expect this is happening all round.If anyone wants to try for it go there tomorrow at 11.40!1

Had my 2nd AZ jab at Aspire pharmacy yesterday.
Only side effects are that I’ve become slightly better looking, am better at sex (was previously rated at 9.5 out of 10) and I can now run 100m in 9.57 seconds.6 -

They’ll be vaccinating the sheep next in case COVID can be sexually transmitted.Eynsfordaddick said:I spoke to my sister in North Wales yesterday, and her sons aged 29, 22 and 21 will all have had their first vaccination by the end of next week! Amazing but I hadn't realised that some areas were this far ahead.
They have been doing this secretly for months.0 -
The Mrs and me had our second Pfizer jab today.
Bit of a queue as they were changing shifts but all done and dusted within 15 minutes of getting in.
Two weeks today we'll be indestructible.

Trying to book my vaccine, but my nearest vaccination site is showing as 25 miles away. I know of 2 vaccination sites within 3 miles of my house!!
I assume all centre's near me must still be using Oxford vaccine & I'm under 40

2nd jab yesterday. Just as last time no reaction so far. Didnt feel the needle but then i am a big lump. All excellently handled and i know it is unpopular among the nattering classes, but good effort UK.5
