If she’s getting breathless every time she walks then she should get a review of her inhalers, instead of just asking for new ones. If she’s not on a steroid inhaler (brown one) she might need to be. Getting that review could also bump her up the vaccine queue. That way you’re not contacting them about the vaccine, you’re asking about her asthma.

She keeps forgetting to take the brown one but carries the blue one on walks. I'd say every time we go for a walk she uses it once and then she's fine.
We're not sure if it's just down to us not having our regular commutes, exercise, etc..
Ohhhhh I see, tell her to take her brown one ffs
My drs are good at the reviews and keeping tabs on medication tbf but I’ve not had to use my blue inhaler for about 5 years. That’s not to say that’s achievable for everyone but once every walk is a bit much, reminds me of me when I used to not take my preventers regularly!
Sounds more likely to be down to what you say in that first sentence
Steroid inhalers take a while to work and need to be taken exactly as prescribed. Best of luck anyway. @Wolverine posted the uk guidance on how bad asthma needs to be to get an early vaccines. I think regular use of a steroid inhaler should qualify her.
That's good service!
Crazy, got the text this morning and booked for 9:30 this morning, wild
Nice one mate. I presume you went for the jab and not the note and powder one they offered to @Welsh Wonder
I tried but apparently he’d already been in and used their whole stashNice one mate. I presume you went for the jab and not the note and powder one they offered to @Welsh Wonder
Morning fellas

Doesn't sound good? I'm 33 and no underlying conditions but a couple of weeks ago was expecting/hoping for my jab in May given the current rates but each day it seems further way, unless I'm just being glass half empty.
So apparently Astrazeneca found 30m doses in Italy after Italian authorities "helped" searching.

Has she had any recent trials with Liverpool?
In case it wasn't posted. This is brilliant information for laymen like me
Excellent video thanks for sharing
According to Reuters, the 29m doses found in Italy were bound for Belgium.

29m doses is almost double of what AZ has delivered to EU already (of the 120m doses initially promised up to and incl this month.)
I wonder how such a large shipment can just disappear of the radar in times such as these.

It's quite easy to forget where you put 29 million doses of a vaccine.
First jab of moderna, I've felt nothing.
Look at this tough guy over here
It didn’t disappear off the radar though. Seems it was en route to Belgium when the Italian authorities intercepted it, for reasons best known to themselves.
Shit they might have given you the apathy jab by accident.
Do you really believe 30m of 120m were meant for a population of 11m?
Agreed.
Having said that its the same for all the vaccines, so numbers higher when you add them all up.
But as you said the real life evidence is more compelling.
Another chart for example

They were in Italy to be filled before going back to Belgium for distribution. 13m to COVAX countries and the remaining to be distributed across the EU in April. So basically the Italians have raided a vaccine filling factory and discovered it contained...vaccines!
Source?
That video from Vox is so informative. I feel much more confident going forward when its my turn.
That's the Telegraph...
Sounds like Astrazeneca PR. (Thanks though, but I'll wait for something reliable before believing that).
Imagine a world where the rest of the NHS operated like this. One can dream.
Well it’s a statement from AZ. I didn’t realise the company actually producing the vaccines weren’t a valid source.
a dream indeed, I’m guessing the main issue is £££
that being said I wouldn’t be adverse to my drs surgery keeping appointments for some things over the phone post pandemic, getting an appointment atm is so much easier than before
Yeah, you're right. My loathing of the telegraph got the better of me there.
I saw that graph the other day. Very impressive. Although the “partially vaccinated” numbers would be a worry in the UK where there is a very long gap between doses.
So according to Italian media they were destined for Belgium, with 13m then going to Covax and the rest to be shipped to the UK. AZ 'lost' them when the export controls came in at the start of February and have been hiding them there ever since.
Still all begs the question (even if Astrazeneca claims are true, and those truly are for covax and EU) why twice as many doses as delivered are in a single warehouse "Waiting to be shipped and distributed". It's not like there's any urgency.
Kinda ironic with the Italians trying to sniff out corruption
They were obviously not for the EU, whatever AZ say. They're earmarked for export and when the export controls came in they've decided to put them to one side until it's resolved - according to the press and various ministers anyway.
It was a tip off from the EU followed by a police investigation that found them, not anything from AZ themselves. They were happily keeping the stockpile quiet.
The EU now realises it has been naive. Having exported 40m doses and gotten 0 from any other country outside the bloc, the change of policy is necessary. 450 million people to vaccinate and it needs to start happening.
Jaysus.
I seriously doubt the U.K. were about to receive 16m AZ doses - we only have 21m left to vaccinate after mid April - but if we were AZ have now declared these are going to EU countries. If they were contractually obliged to give them to the U.K. I think we’d probably have something to say about them being taken - at the very least we’d use them to bargain to ensure no Pfizer gets blocked.
