Fantastic....I am just over 60, but as yet  not had an invite, but cannot be too far away the way things are going perhaps...

Regards always

I`m 69 and got my letter on the 12th Feb. Booked my first jab for the 28th Feb as I was finally  told that it`s  best not to have the vaccine until 28 days after a positive Covid test.

I'm 55 - in SE Wales - with no major health issues.

No word yet on exactly when I might get the chance to book a "jab". I think NHS Wales are starting to work through over 60s and younger people in poor health.

I believe there might also be talk of a possible short term delay to supplies - all of which probably means a bit of a wait for me - fair enough.

A few weeks back, I seem to recall the Westminster government pushing for "jabs around the clock". Quite rightly, Mark Drakeford (Welsh First Minister) was quick to point out why this would be unlikely to be routine in Wales.

(Finite number of "jabs" and people to administer them - potential health & safety issues at night at remote vaccination centres - also, how many people would actually wish to travel some distance to a vaccination centre at night, when there's no public transport?)

As for me, I understand they've been doing "jabs" at a stadium, about 1.5 miles from where I live. (Good call - they also did most of this winter's flu jabs there, as it allowed them to reduce the number of people in doctors' surgeries). If I get offered an appointment there, I'd accept any time of day or night - and probably walk there - but this would not be an option for some people I know.

In case anyone's wondering why I'd walk, the buses that run near my house don't stop anywhere near the stadium - so there's little point in me going by bus. Meanwhile, taxis wouldn't come cheap - so not really a sensible option for me.

Anyway, I could do with the fresh air - and some exercise!
