    More than 50 million coronavirus vaccine doses have now been given in England.

    Figures released by NHS England show 31,546,846 UK adults have had their first jab, and 18,699,556 have had two.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57212470

    The article is surely wrong, it must be 60M according to the daily stats?
    Maybe it is 50 million in England, 10 million in Wales Scotland & Northern Ireland.

    You  must be right as the article says 50M doses given in England :-)  Doh.

    Been checking for a good slot to book my 1st all day, the only ones local enough to me weren't on days and times that suited. Got to keep looking until more slots open up.

    Booked my wife's 1st in for Tuesday. My parents have recently had their second and my father in law's 2nd is next week.

    And if he had the virus he would be shedding it more readily than if he had been wearing it.

    Yes and if he had the virus everyone else would have been breathing it in (possibly) as masks aren't 100% effective.

    How can we, still, over a year on, be explaining this to people?

    The same as you know/always knew certain people that won't get vaccinated.
    There's little point discussing it, even though it's so disappointing.

    On a side note , stewpot from Grange Hill was doing security (separate to Vaccine stuff) at the hospital ….. 
    I knew I recognised him , he pointed me in the direction of the vaccines

    Fair play to you - it's your choice to make. Out of interest I'm just wondering which trials you are most keen to see the results of?

    My 36 week pregnant daughter had her first vaccine last week.  After seeking advice felt pros outweighed the cons. No reaction to it. Her husband works in health care so already double vaccinated.

    BBC reporting that there were 762,361 first or second jabs on Saturday. By any standard that is remarkable. We get a lot of things wrong in our country but this vaccine programme is magnificent.

    Under 30s expected to be offered vaccine by the end of the week.

    Still can’t book mine, nothing at a reasonable location. Am assuming new slots will appear during the week and it just wasn’t being refreshed for certain places over the weekend.

    I have my vaccine today. Think I will get a gym session in before hand in case feel sore for a few days. Being 37, it appears that I should expect to be having Pfizer.

    If it's Pfizer i think you'll feel fine. Seems to be less after effects for that vaccine.

    I felt a little lethargic the day after mine, still managed to motivate myself enough to play cricket and get my bowling smashed around the park.

    So all normal there.

    As each vaccine site gets notified of a delivery the available slots are added to the online booking service.  Basically, try every half hour until somewhere suitable pops up.

    Pfizer one for me at 15.30 this afternoon at Warren Pharmacy in Bexley village. No dramas, all very efficient and feeling fine and dandy.

    Pfizer vaccine had....sad to leave the clinic after my 15 minute wait. It's the buzziest place I've been to in some time! Well done to the staff, setup and Gill Bates.

    Had my second AZ on Saturday, no after effects but did feel really lethargic on Sunday, had to drag myself round on the dogs evening walk. Back to normal today.

    I'm sorry but who are you going to trust? Random strangers on social media or the BBC?

    The BBC would say they aren't magnetic  because they support misinformation and censorship - apparently!
