"Back to normal by Christmas"

Not to my knowledge, but the gentleman concerned has other age related problems. I only know of this secondhand.
Regarding my earlier post, point one was somewhat facetious, but it does sometimes seem that way.
If point 2) Does annoy the anti-vaxxers, so what? Through their ignorance (fanned by a national newspaper) they have brought distress and illness to a considerable number of families. Serves them right!!

Perhaps there'll be arrangements to do the jabs in a drive through, similar to how they're currently doing Covid tests.

That could be an option Roobarb. As long as I get my jab in a safe place that would be fine by me.

Will we be driving into a supermarket car park? ...  doing our shopping and "collecting" our jab on the way out?

Fine, if you drive. many of my generation don't or can't.Still, it might well take some of the pressure off doctors' surgeries.

Well

Just spent 48rs in Local Big Hospital... due to Gallstone flare up.

At least now I know I am negative for COVID

It is so well organised that I was moved ward 3 times.. all the 'Negatives' were kept together --- EVERYBODY wore masks.. but I noticed the nurses washing hair and getting very close at times...

For me the whole thing was ................ scary......  I didnt want to go in but was told NO Choice.. and then when in just kept an eye on.. NO intravenous anything... !!! just loads of Morphine.. Now my daughter has decided I am hooked...   two /3 tubes oral morphine... Pain still hanging around but easier...

The experience was so surreal...

On Admittance the 'partner' is left outside and that is it...
Every Orifice they can test for wotever they do
You are only admitted when the test is clear and negative

only 5 to a ward  and the worst thing was ... it was the oldest part of the Hospital that was being used... scary spooky like an old film with Jack Nicholson in... eeek

BUT the biggest but

Out of 20 0dd nurses only one was Male.. and out of 20 0dd Nurses maybe two or three British UK

The bloomin Nurses were so fantastic --- patient kind and caring wonderful

Nurses did the Doctors clan walk discussions at the end of the Bed and Docs came in in twos not 22's  and the one I saw was ............pathetic.. ho hum

So if you're the driver you get it in your right arm and if you're the passenger the left.

My Lamborghini is left hand drive, guess I will just have to take the Ferrari. 

Out of interest flightradar24 tells me there are approx 1000 airplanes in the west European skies at this moment, carrying holidaymakers to and fro.

Must be a few silent spreaders in that lot,  maybe by October a flu jab might be the least of our worries.

Funny you should say that Groom, I was just thinking after I posted the comment that I ask for mine in my left arm in case of a sore or stiff arm. Guess I'd just have to put up with it in my right arm!

The issue of people being unable to use the drive through has been raised for people needing a Covid test, apparently they're sent one through the post. Of course that's not an option with a flu jab but if the majority could be dealt with by a drive through then the surgeries could probably deal with the non drivers.

OH and I had our flu jabs during lockdown, we were asked to drive to the back of the surgery and remain in our car.  After the appropriate time,of making sure there was no reaction, we and the other drivers were told we go could go
