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. On the basis that I manage to get up at that time to catch a holiday flight I'd definitely do it for a vaccine.

Yes. DH works quite long hours and with my own work and the kids to get on with during waking hours, honestly I'd have a better chance of getting out to it at 2.15 am than if it was at say 2.30pm. I'd just sleep when the kids do and get up after a nap.

@openallthetime

no because lone parent

@openallthetime Wouldn’t you take your kid/kids with you? Wouldn’t they also be getting vaccinated?

Id accept it at 3am , Injected into a fanny flap while listening to the sound of a thousand nails scraping along a chalkboard if it meant we could have some form of normal soon

I mean , yes .

Yes, but given that they're offering them to over 80s first it might be a little tricky for them to get there for that time!

Yanbu

Yes. Be very little traffic, easy to park up, little waiting. My life in 2020 has been relatively dull so this would be an adventure.

No problem.

Of course

It’s not clear how much you want it ha ha !

Children aren’t being vaccinated yet.

I would go at any time, but I wouldn’t expect my DM in her 80s to have a late night appointment

Hell yes, anything to bring the end of this closer.

@LouiseTrees unlikely. No plans to vaccinate children (unless high risk) in the immediate future.

Anytime. I will wake my children up for it. Anything to put an end to this fucking madness.

I'd happily go any time of night, night driving makes me anxious so it would depend where I needed to go for it but the actual inconvenience of going out at night would be fine by me.

@LouiseTrees It’s not clear how much you want it ha ha !

😂

Definitely.

Partly selfishly, because I'd get it sooner

But equally so it frees up more daytime appointments for those who need them

But that's also because I have a car, am happy to drive at night. If I had to walk or take public transport, then probably not. Not that there's any public transport around here after 7pm 🤣.

Are they genuinely suggesting this??

Definitely, we have a car so would theoretically free up a day appointment for those using public transport.
An elderly man I know who has had the first injection of the vaccine did actually have a late evening appointment, and he was using public transport. If an octogenarian can get out on public transport in the pitch black without complaint then I would take any appointment going!

Yes I’d take absolutely any time! I’d prefer really late night to early morning though!

Yep, in fact I'd rather stay up and go at 2am than have a 6am appointment and have to drag my lazy arse out of bed early!

In reality I'd go whenever

@Luckypoppy

Most definitely- in fact I'd choose one so that the day appointments are left for those who need one.

This. I have a car and could get there. Not everyone would be able to. And the sooner I have it the better. Unlike Covid one late night won't kill me!

Yeah, I mean I'd probably ask if they had anything else first but if not - yeah I'd go.

If it was just me probably but ,I have a disabled child who needs constant supervision and my Dh works shifts ,so it would have to be convenient.

Absolutely, without a moments hesitation a d I'd be truly grateful to the staff there making it happen.

Nope I can’t drive due to an eye condition so DH would have to drive me, so DS would have to get up.

No. I don't drive and wouldn't feel safe.
