10 million people vaccinated already - brilliant!

[buttery81]

This is a continuation of the previous thread, www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4145954-6-3-million-people-vaccinated-already-brilliant

This thread is intended as a positive place to observe our remarkable vaccine rollout as it progresses and to celebrate the ever increasing numbers as we go.

Polite notice: conspiracy theorists, doommongers and those looking for endless debate over vaccine efficacy, leave vs remain and one-legged trousers - this is probably not the thread for you.

So, to pick up from where we left off... a truly tremendous 10,021,471 people in the UK have now received their first dose of the vaccine - that’s 18.9% (or 1 in every 5.3) of all UK adults.

There’s no doubt about it - there is an unmistakable light at the end of this long, long tunnel and every day it’s getting brighter. Come on folks - let’s do this!!

15 million! Outstanding!

@Frazzled6

No, I doubt it, but the council do though (he is one of the leadership team). I may be wrong but I believe the council have a large input to which workers are being vaccinated (care workers etc).

yes that would make sense. But similarly employers would not know Gp details(perhaps they have not been called up via GPs). I wonder who marries this all up.

Wowowowow 15m!!!!!! what an amazing effort. Cannot wait to get my jab. I am under 50 and not CV so may be May? Happy to wait :-). Cannot wait to see my parents again!

15 million - wow wow wow! Looking forward to the new number at 4pm as always!

🥳15 million 🥳

Well done to all those people that have helped this happen

I wonder who marries this all up.

I'm sure my DB probably knows will enquire but I'm guessing it's probably a special link for local councils etc.

15m is great. Im hoping I get to see my family in the Spring, my DSis has been vaccinated, my brothers this Tues and hopefully I will be vaccinated in the next few weeks. We have postponed, 18th,21st and 60th birthday celebrations and a new arrival due in April.. Haven't seen each other since Xmas 2019!

Official figure now in...

15,062,189 people have now had their 1st dose up to and including 13th Feb

Fantastic!!!!!

Fabulous numbers today!

15 million people vaccinated! That is just wonderful!

Boris - I take back exactly one thing I ever said about you!

Also great cases numbers - lowest numbers since 2nd October.

And hospital admissions and deaths are the lowest of 2021.

WE DID IT 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thank you to every single jabber out there and to those that produced the vaccine and enabled it to be rolled out in such magnificent form. 💗

Well done to all the staff and volunteers who have made this happen 🥳

@buttery81 can you post the link to the data page on gov.uk please. I've lost it and can't find it 🙄

Yes, big thank you to every single jabber and all the workers and volunteers that have made this possible. And the government for having the foresight to buy up all these doses.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Jabtastic!!

So we’re 2 days early? Wow, it’s absolutely incredible.

Thank you to all involved in jabbing and thank you to all on here for keeping me positive and for sharing the happy facts and figures.

Just popping back to say another giant woooohooooo!!! What a day!

Boris - I take back exactly one thing I ever said about you!

@gingeristhenewblack43 I think this is what you’re after! coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

So much respect for the jabbers and volunteer marshals. So uplifting that despite the moaning doomsters we keep hearing from on here in real life people are fixing it. Just heroic!

This is amazing. 🤯🥳🥳

Let's make a new thread every 5 million :-D

It is utterly amazing and I was very doubtful that it could be done.

I still cannot forgive Boris though for us being in such a mess in the first place.

@buttery81 thank you, that is exactly what I was after 👍🏻 Much appreciated!

More good news out of Israel

Thanks caveman. That's awesome

My mum is in the 65-70 group and I think is getting fed up of my impatient phone calls demanding to know whether she's been invited yet Who would have thought even two months ago that we'd be in this position by now??

@psychomath she doesn’t need to wait to be invited - the national booking site is open to over 65’s now.

If she prefers to wait because she wants to attend somewhere more local, that’s fine - but if she can drive, she could probably get an appointment within the next couple of days.

PuzzledObserver I didn't realise it was open to over 65s now, that's great - I'll let her know She doesn't have a car but I think lives quite close to her nearest hub.

Did I read correctly that there are only 1.2m in the 65-70 age group. That means they would storm through it

My mum's 67 and has here's booked for Wednesday, but granted our GP practice has been superb in their vaccine rollout. I think she had a letter too but the GP got there first.
