6.3 million people vaccinated already - brilliant!

[buttery81]

This is a continuation of the previous thread, www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4129412-1-5-million-people-vaccinated-already-brilliant

6,353,321 people in the UK have now received their first dose of the vaccine - that’s 1 in every 8.3 adults. It’s a truly remarkable achievement to have reached so many people in such a short space of time.

Welcome to the new thread and let’s keep the positive vibes going!

Thanks@buttery81, my parents were scammed by a fake site a few days before they got their appointments through. There were a lot in our area, and luckily they were aware and didn't fall for it. So it's such a relief to know they've had the first one.

@SophieB100 thank goodness for that.

Today's numbers are out! 311,060 doses given yesterday, bringing the total number of people to 7,164.387

Over 7 million jabs in arms!
Brilliant news

Over 7 million jabs in arms!
Brilliant news

We're over 7 million! Hurrah!

Fantastic numbers!

It means another 311,060 people were given their first dose of vaccine yesterday.

Sorry, just seen that @psychomath already said that!

7 million. I'll hold onto that thought.

Cases and deaths are down compared to this time last week which is great.

To repeat what I said on the good news thread...

WOAAAAAAHHHHH we're halfway there

Hurrah! Hope you get a date soon.

Aha here is the thread! Place marking because it's nice to pop onto this one.

@InterfectoremVulpes that is brilliant! Made my night!!

hooray hooray, got the phone call today (still in process of sorting out the date though grin)

Hurrah!!

Out of interest how old are the people getting phone calls now?

In other good news, the 7 day average of people in hospital peaked on January 19th and has been slowly falling since then - in a few days' time it should be 1000 fewer than on the worst day. Will still be mostly due to the lockdown at this stage, but hopefully means the numbers will fall even quicker once the effects of the vaccine do start to kick in properly

Sorry if this is the wrong place to say this, but today 6 of my 70-75 aged relatives were suddenly able to book a test! How amazing is that

It bodes well for the future!

NI online booking went live tonight for those aged 65-69 to book their vaccines at one of seven regional centres - I got my parents booked. Lots of availability, and a lot of people attempting to book judging by the speed of the website - not that I’m complaining - Fantastic effort by all involved

I had my first dose Pfizer last night 30 hours since having it and absolutely no side effects, hugely relieved to have been able to get it.

My dad got a message today to book - he's 70
