Would you Accept a very late night appt to get vaccine ?

[Thisisnotreallymyname]

So - they are talking about rolling out a 24 hour vaccination process for Covid.
Your appt come through for 2:15 am.
Would you do it ?

YABU - No
YANBU - Yes

Yes, I have a car and am working from home so wouldn't be an issue for me.

But they haven’t said anything about 24/7 vaccines, it’s entirely a Mumsnet fantasy.

It was one of the questions asked on last night's PM Q&A. A 24 hour rollout wasn't promised, although he didn't dismiss it out of hand either.

TBH having it as an option might not be a bad idea to catch shift workers and the keen. I am surprised so many people are up for it, though. When you rely on public transport (which doesn't operate at 2am) are a lone female and don't live in the safest area, I don't think it's unreasonable to want to wait a bit longer for a daytime appt.

I'd go anytime of day or night! I want our lives back

Yes,it's one night and I want the vaccine.And getting there,wherever it is,is likely to be easier ( from the perspective of a driver),also most locations will be quieter.

@pinbinpin

This has to be a joke surely? What kind of parent is going to drag their child out of bed in the wee hours (unless some kind of emergency)

I've often got my kids up at 3 or 4 in the morning to either go on holiday or return back from a holiday. Back in the day we'd do it once a year for ski holidays. They aren't bothered in the slightest and easily catch up on the plane, I'm the car on way home or whatever.

If I'd do that for a holiday I'd damn well do that for a crucial vaccine. Can't believe there are people who cba. incredible.

How have you construed what I've said to mean I can't be arsed?

I draw the line at jogging nude @IrmaFayLear.
Not with these breasts!😊

I would yes, I doubt I'll even be offered one though that online calculator estimates me to be given one in July/September 🤦🏽‍♀️😩

Of course! And as one poster said, I would welcome it actively if it meant that more day appointments were there for those who needed them and couldn't do late apointments. I'm fine with getting less sleep one night for the vaccine!!!

Disclaimer: I haven't read the whole thread

I have a friend with backache and has been given an appointment for a scanner at 23.00 because of COVID they had to catch up on all the cancelled/delayed appointment at first lockdown (not in the UK)

Yes

Yes, I’d go!!

Yes- and I'd hope fewer people wold be there to potentially infect others!

YANBU yes. I'm prepared to give up one night's good sleep to sleep better knowing I'm immune to this virus.

Id go, in my Pys and dressing gown. And DD would take me. Whenever, where ever

I'd go anytime, anyplace at a moment's notice. Nothing can be worse than the situation right now.

Yes of course.

i would but its irrelevant as its not been suggested and i seriously dout would ever happen

I'd love to but I rely on public transport so would have to have a day time appointment.

@Thisisnotreallymyname can you point us to who is this ‘they’ that are planning 24/7 vaccines? I mean an official ‘they’, not people on Twitter?

This was a post I saw on Twitter, that said “ they “ might look to rolling out longer hours to give vaccine, and it was being considered to do some at night.
I have no idea who “ they “ are..........Gov’t , Health Service decision ?
Just wondering if, if it ever did come to that, would people consider it x

Like other people I have got up insanely early to get a flight so why not. Roads are empty and if it gets us out of this quicker it's a no brainer. We are retired so no work to worry about. My DM gets her 2nd jab next week.

I don't object to an anti-social time, but as a single female who doesn't drive, I'd have to consider whether I could safely get there and back without being attacked. I mean, I wouldn't walk to any of the GP surgeries around here in the dark, it's just not safe.

So the answer is... it depends.

I think it would be better for them to be voluntary at those times , it would suit a proprotion of the population and could be efficient, if done in the right way .

I absolutely would.

DH and I both have underlying medical conditions which realistically mean that we’d be in serious trouble if we catch it. I’d stand outside at 2am in a four hour queue during a blizzard if it meant I got vaccinated sooner.

Yes. I'm shielding as cev - I'd be there in a heartbeat.
