@R-L
I'd imagine hospital admin people would be at risk from spreading the virus as come into contact with all groups of people, so makes sense to vaccinate them as a priority, I'd guess.

@Victor-Meldrew yes agreed, just highlighting the difference between settings, different worlds. We still have a small amount of patients coming into our buildings but very few. And I don't want to take away the importance of admin and management also incase anyone takes offence, without them the doctors and nurses and frontliners wouldn't be organising their own clinics, arranging appointments, ensuring staff are covered,paying bills, ordering stock, auditing, reporting on vulnerable patients etc etc etc. The background staff help the frontliners keep going so to speak.
Not to mention just mucking in anywhere they can, I had to recheck the governments shielding cohorts in the first lockdown running them through our clinical system and get clinicians to add more patients as thousands missed off. Ball aches if I had any. -

The admin people involved in some vaccination hubs (including Mrs. P) are coming into contact with 100 or more people each session.
No brainer to be given first dose (the Covid lefties are at pains to make clear they have NOT been vaccinated until second dose).

Can understand weird problems cropping up.
Big vaccination centre set up here in Pensilva. Entrance and parking is good but people were turning up an hour before their appointment causing big problems with congestion. Big push on social media and radio seems to have cured it

Make sure you wear your beater too, apparently that's slowing things down a bit (BBC were extremely positive with their brekky show this morning, even helpful)!

Gives easier access to upper arm where apparently you get less arm ache.

A lot of their carers are BAME and I wonder if they have been influenced by the anti-vaxxers who have targeted minority groups.

It would be good to see the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Lenny Henry, Stormzy and all those celebrity Black Lives Matter champions stepping up and encouraging the use of vaccine. Not holding my breath, though.

@Victor-Meldrew you mean this veritable who's who of old white folk doesn't cut it?
I didn't realise Stormzy and Lenny got in on the action too.

Oh yeah. Lenny Henry thinks holding a watermelon is "casual racism".
There's a real opportunity to get involved and say "Black Lives Matter". Hopefully they will and do what people like Trevor Phillips and Frank Bruno have done.
And kudos to the Muslim Council of Britain for taking the lead and dispelling the myths about the vaccine at Friday prayers.

It would be good to get his views on all those old sketches of his back when he was moderately popular.
Katanga! My friends. Katanga!

And a bloody good actor as well. Saw a video of him playing McBeth and he was outstanding. (The wicked side of me is thinking he's a racist as he culturally-appropriated Shakespeare...)
EDIT: He did a skit on the experiences of a Black brit in the US. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
-
@Victor-Meldrew Not seen much of his serious acting but back in the day he really traded on being black. A load of Uncle Tom unfunny shit and dressing up in tribal costumes. He also did minor film where he went white face which was distinctly crass and unfunny.
