Got Pfizer. It sounded like they were mopping up from a fair few places as well as doing appointments of their own. They had separate queues for the two types and minimal waiting.

Icannever · 19/05/2021 16:50

Numbers are looking pretty pants, hospital numbers going up again too. Please don’t let us have another lockdown 😧

20 year old ds has just got his vaccination (Moderna) up in Aberdeen. Had to queue for an hour and a half at the Tillydrone Hub, after NHS Grampian promoted that walk-up vaccinations were available. He's very happy Smile

florafoxtrot · 19/05/2021 18:43

DH and I went along to that too @prettybird! Also got Moderna. It was quite a big queue in the rain but delighted to have been done.

Fair play to all the vaccinators and support staff as they were still going on at 5pm when we left even though they’d said they’d finish at that time. Smile

prettybird · 19/05/2021 18:51

You must have been close to ds as he only left the Hub at 5 to 5 Wink

ssd · 19/05/2021 19:20

Great news @prettybird

My question is...my ds works in G42 which is a priority area, but lives in G77....can he ask to get the vaccine due to his work there, which is customer facing?

prettybird · 19/05/2021 19:22

Sorry, no idea. Could he ring and ask? Or just queue at the mosque?

ssd · 19/05/2021 19:27

I'm a bit dim here.Blush

What mosque and are they vaccinating people near G42 without invitations? Im not on twitter or any sm and ds not exactly on top of all this....atthepubaswespeak

randomsabreuse · 19/05/2021 19:30

Glasgow Mosque was picking up people who had appointments elsewhere but couldn't have AZ for whatever reason (age). I don't think there was a general queue when I was there, and they had our details on a handwritten list - the original place had us on a printed list.

There were a couple of young, cheery student looking lads behind us. Maybe your DS!

That's another few ticked off the list anyway

latissimusdorsi · 19/05/2021 19:44

Are they doing any age group in Aberdeen now? Or was that just spare vaccines today?

titsintiers · 19/05/2021 19:44

It's Glasgow Central mosque @ssd, if I were your son I'd just turn up. The worst they can do is turn him away, and from reading bbc news that doesn't look likely.

ssd · 19/05/2021 19:48

Thanks I'll tell him.

Actually going by that ds wouldn't get the vaccine there due to his age, 20, if they only do the AZ?

Really not sure to be completely honest, they said it was a trial of a walk-in set-up. NHSG shared on social media as being for over 40s only but later in the day Kirsty Blackman tweeted that it was open all age groups across the city. I was a bit unsure as knew we couldn't get AZ but they had Moderna for under 40s.
randomsabreuse · 19/05/2021 19:52

Mosque was probably the only one in the area doing not AZ. Kirky Leisure Centre was AZ only and possibly the Hydro and a Renfrew place as my fellow "redirects" had come from there. I'm not sure they weren't doing both to be fair but definitely the Mosque was doing Pfizer today.

All the nhs forms just talk about living in these postcode areas, not actually working in them.

@RaspberryCoulis

Jason Leitch on TV again this morning - why does he speak to everyone as if they're a group of not very bright P2 children?
Actually that's spot onGrin

ScotlandUnited · 20/05/2021 10:19

can anyone remind me where to find cases by LA? And how to see if the cases have been going up or down?

TheMShip · 20/05/2021 10:55

public.tableau.com/profile/phs.covid.19#!/vizhome/COVID-19DailyDashboard_15960160643010/Overview @ScotlandUnited - go to the 'cases by neighbourhood' tab. Initial overview is Scotland by LA, then you can drill down into each LA to get smaller areas of ~3000-6000 people each.
