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

Absolutely

Longdistance · 31/12/2020 00:26

I’d go at any time, but I’m an insomniac, so...

LaurieFairyCake · 31/12/2020 00:28

Of course !

But if we're going to need it every six months I want them to get their fucking act together for the rolling programme ...

thefirstmrsrochester · 31/12/2020 00:29

Absolutely. Whenever and wherever my appointment is, I’ll be there.

Isthatitnow · 31/12/2020 00:29

Yes, but some people couldn’t - caring responsibilities, single parents etc. There would need to be flexibility. I will take the first appointment offered bit I believe my employer would support us being off for a day if needed. Not all will.

BenoneBeauty · 31/12/2020 00:29

YANBU - I'd accept an appointment at anytime.

LindaEllen · 31/12/2020 00:30

I imagine if they were to do that, they'd give you the option of a 'normal' time.

I would probably go whatever time it was offered.

safariboot · 31/12/2020 00:31

I would, but I'm a severe night owl. On the other hand I would be pissed off if someone expected me to have it at 630 am, for example.

RavingAnnie · 31/12/2020 00:31

As long as I didn't have to get up for work the next morning then yes.

RainMoon · 31/12/2020 00:31

@Namechangeme87

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 .

This!
Mulhollandmagoo · 31/12/2020 00:31

I would, but it's workable for me, as I have a car and can swing childcare as long as my husband had his appt on a different night.

Amazing to see the positivity surrounding the vaccine on MN btw 🙌

SometimesIWonderWhy · 31/12/2020 00:31

I would go whenever as long as I wasn't at work or it was close to work so I could just pop out to get it.

Sparklesocks · 31/12/2020 00:31

Yes. Providing it wasn’t too far a journey away I’d make it work.

WonderfulWinde · 31/12/2020 00:32

I do kinda like my sleep but even I would drag my arse out of bed.

QueenPawPaws · 31/12/2020 00:32

What @Namechangeme87 said
I recently took an appointment after 11 months waiting that was a cancellation, meant leaving the house at 6am but I told them I would set off at 3am if it meant I could solve my health issue!

Sandalison · 31/12/2020 00:32

Definitely

stuffedforchristmas · 31/12/2020 00:35

Well we can't utter one word of complaint about the situation if we're not prepared to be vaccinated round the clock, can we. It's our way out of this and we quite literally couldn't be bothered to get out of bed?

Yes, I would not be thrilled but I'd certainly show up and understand why it was necessary.

sicknote26 · 31/12/2020 00:35

Yes

Chanandlerbong01 · 31/12/2020 00:35

I would but would probably fall asleep trying to drive to it!

ekidmxcl · 31/12/2020 00:38

Without a doubt.
I’d happily do it at 3am and would be happy to drive hundreds of miles to get it.
I really want to get vaccinated!

PickAChew · 31/12/2020 00:38

Um, no. I don't drive so couldn't get there and I'm buggered if I'm walking the streets at 2am.

ClinkyMonkey · 31/12/2020 00:39

I’d be there with my bare naked arm ready any time, day or night!

GlowingOrb · 31/12/2020 00:39

I hate driving at night, and I’m worried about having an allergic reaction (I carry an epipen) so in a perfect world I want DH to drive me to get my shot just in case the reaction is delayed, but if I have to get it in the middle of the night, so be it.

Heathcliff27 · 31/12/2020 00:41

Absolutely, especially if it freed up a daytime appointment for someone else

Dahlietta · 31/12/2020 00:42

Is this how Matt Hancock spends his evenings now?!
