Figures for anyone interested: bbc.co.uk All looking really good then considering we haven't relaxed restrictions any further yet and the football is tonight - expect a large uptick in cases in two weeks or so. |

I'm still shocked that less than 100k are having their first jab every day when we were told that a million signed up last week and we are desperate to get all the 18 year olds done. Or maybe I'm not |

I don't know whether it's lack of Pfizer or take up of appointments Hunkyteddy but the mass vac centre I've been working at has been closed for the last three days.

We were flat out for a couple of hours last weekend but then it completely shut down. I suppose people with morning appointments were coming early to get it over with and enjoy the rest of the day in sunny Settle. We seem to have both Pfizer and AZ now so can take any walk-ins etc. Agree the overall numbers are disappointing, we still need to be pressing on with this at full speed. |

My 18 year olds can't bring their 2nd jab appointments forward to 8 weeks as there is nothing available ( was announced that they would be able to )

Ds2’s second jab in September was just cancelled but I managed to rebook somewhere more convenient for the day before, it was 8 weeks anyway

reddit.com Some links here from sharp-elbowed people of which places are doing walk-ins. Obviously depends on how easy it is to get to them |

DocM, so many places have been taking walk-ins I'd suggest they just turn up and see what happens. Assuming it's not a huge trek.
