Covid Jag

[maggiebee]

My 13 year old grandson had his first jag yesterday. Now I knew the ages groups were dropping but this still surprises me.

Good news. Am assumeing he comes into the high risk categry
"The vaccine will only be offered to children under 16 at high risk of Covid-19 exposure and likely to get extremely sick if they get catch it. "

maggie with your new avatar in mind would you like to have a go at my Scotland quiz?

[bednobs]

is he part of a trial?

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, if folk wanted to respond to your thread, they would have done so by now.

You don't need to pester them.

[bobbinwales]

That ws my other thought bednobs. Its certainly unusual

[Mamyalynne]

In areas with a rise in variant B.1.617.2 cases they are rolling out surge vaccinations, in Blackburn for example they are calling in over 18s.

[bobbinwales]

Maybe its Glasgow where there keeping some restrictions and stepping up jabs and testing

[THECORBYLOON]

What area is your grandson in?

[Mamyalynne]

Did you append the correct postage?

[THECORBYLOON]

Eh

[Mamyalynne]

The statement I replied to has gone. :-)

[maggiebee]

We are in Dundee and so far as I am aware my grandson has no underlying health problems and there has been no rise in Covid rates here.

[THECORBYLOON]

Ahhhhhh...

[bednobs]

its certainly very odd

[Pooka1950]

Maybe it is different in Scotland then. My son is 37 and still waiting for his vaccination.... :-(

[THECORBYLOON]

This mentions jags being given in the Autumn, perhaps it's been brought forward?

[bednobs]

again, i'd be really surprised if in march it was going to be autumn/winter then six weeks later they brought it forward to spring. are you sure maggie that you didnt misunderstand? if they were regularly vaccinating children you think we'd hear about it
