UK vaccination thread started 1st May 2021

[Bordois]

As of Friday 30th April

34.3m first jabs
14.9m second jabs

have been given in the UK. This means that 65% of all adults have some level of protection and 28% are fully vaccinated.

Additionally evidence is currently suggesting that the vaccines are effective against the Brazilian and Indian variants 🥳

Found it :)
SW 68.1 and 42 so not so far from National

I had my first jab in March (2nd on Tuesday) and I did a blood test for the OFNS on 6th May. Just got the results back as positive for antibodies

Where do I find the blocky charts please?

@Dementedswan

Where do I find the blocky charts please?

Click on vaccination data from the main page and then click on United Kingdom- you can the change the location to local authorities, etc.

You can do the same with the other data (cases, deaths, etc.) helps to put a lit into perspective!

According to a link posted on another thread my areas cases are over 70% indian strain. However when I look at the actual cases numbers there were only 12 actual cases for the same time period which makes it a lot less concerning.

Ooh 77.5% have had first dose and 44.5% have had second in my neck of the woods!

Its 69 / 37 in my local authority but I think we skew to a slightly younger demographic here

Oh, I've just noticed both my area and county have gone yellow on the map too. I'll expect it will be back to green soon so I will savour it whilst I can 🤣

@bordois do you have the link for the Indian variant?

Hi,

There's apparently been 19 confirmed Indian variant cases in north Tyneside, though probably more.

All adults being offered pcr test this weekend from mobile units.

covid19.sanger.ac.uk/lineages/raw?latitude=53.762878&longitude=-2.675077&zoom=6.82&area=E08000033&lineage=B.1.617.2&view=map&colorBy=p&date=2021-03-06

The link takes you to a particular area, but if you move the map around you can select the area that you want. I found it easier to manually move the slider than hit play as it runs quite quickly.

@WarriorN whereabouts in North tyneside?

Thank you

We've received info from phe (Wendy!) in school so staff working there but not living there can access tests.

Given the chat I had today with a school mum (not north Tyneside) about how friends of her husband who are NT have both tested positive (refused vaccine) and how her dh shared a lift to rugby with them and now worried, it's good they're getting in early.

The weather is rubbish here and we've tried to book a table indoors for my mother in law's birthday. Everything completely booked out.

With museums etc opening too it's not the best timing!

Sorry I thought this was the number thread!

Glad it's helped someone though.

thanks! I saw it the other day but been stressed at work and didnt remember about the link

Update from Hugo

688,563 vaccinations in Flag of United Kingdom yesterday

Flag of England 234,818 1st doses / 367,142 2nd doses
Flag of Scotland 18,603 / 26,968
Flag of Wales 11,583 / 17,214
NI 3,247 / 8,988

5th-biggest day of the rollout so far I think. Three bigger during that boost period in the second half of March, plus a random spike one day in late April.

Yay! Great numbers! I’m one of the second doses 💪 The centre was exceptionally busy with constant vaccinations and a huge queue outside of people that were early for their appointments. It was a visibly young crowd compared to those I’ve seen before which was lovely! I would say the eldest I saw was around 45. So lovely to see so many people getting vaccinated🥂

🥳🥳🥳 fab numbers!

I got my second dose today (so I'll be tomorrow's numbers). In and out within 15 minutes, most of which was me trying to get a sticker.
My sticker has pride of place on my phone, and I'm making the most of a skive day, even though I have no side effects at all so far.

im volunteering tomorrow in my gp, 2k people, im there for 2h only tho, I expect it'll be super busy and it's raining!

It's raining vaccines! Hallelujah!
It's raining vaccines! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's raining vaccines! Hallelujah!
It's raining vaccines! Every specimen!
AstraZeneca, pfizer, moderna
Rough and tough and strong and mean

Volunteered a local gp site this am, when I’ve been before has been older second doses, today was full of very chuffed much younger folk getting their first Pfizer!

Biggest first dose day since 28 March.
