Some Good News

[maggiebee]

From Nicola Sturgeon today:

Some positive news - initial supplies of the Covid vaccine have now arrived safely in Scotland and are being stored securely. The first vaccinations are on track to be administered on Tuesday.

[Spicerack]

You'd better not get yours before ours.

[emmie]

good news indeed. now where's ours.

[emmie]

saying that surely they should go across the country as a whole. To those most in need

[Bobbisox1]

It is indeed good news Maggie

[Mamyalynne]

Excellent, a real ray of hope.

[anneasquith]

Good news Maggie .

[emmie]

as i said i thought that they would go to NHS workers, those over 80, staff in care homes, and residents in care homes, or so the news reports have stated.

[anneasquith]

What makes you think the vaccine is not going to that section of people emmie ?

[emmie]

perhaps if we had a link that might help clarify matters, perhaps they will be shipped across the country from Scotland.

[anneasquith]

Emmie, where would you like them to have been delivered to ?

[teacake44]

emmie will you stop moaning or you will knock me off the top spot. :0) You never go out anyway so you're not in danger.

[emmie]

To whereever they are needed most i guess. thanks for the link Mamy,.

[anneasquith]

Emmie, with all due respect you should go ‘ take a nap’, and revisit this thread when you are awake ,.

[Mamyalynne]

Mr Google is great.

Scotland are prioritising those most in need just as other Countries are.

[emmie]

im perfectly awake thank you.

[anneasquith]

Then I suggest you reread the post . Hopefully everyone in the world who is most at risk will receive the vaccine ASAP.

[JimF]

Absolutely! More than happy to wait my turn.
