Schools are NOT all open for key workers at all. My poor HCA has 2 young children in different schools as one has special needs. She has received 2 x texts 10 mins apart last night to say school closed. Huge impact on #GPpractices. – at Willenhall, England

GP outperforming expectations regarding vaccinations which is not a surprise to some of us , imagine if we had done test and trace .Isn’t it now time this government and certain media organisations stop their long term denigration of our profession 🙏

Enough is enough, looks like vaccine supply might not be an issue, except the choice of site... As apart from GPs everyone is having fair amount delivered @NikkiKF, someone will need to be Accountable to complex challenges thrown to primary care and then....
A total chaos & shambles - they way this Covid-19 vaccination programme is now under command & control . It appears GPs are going to be victim of their own success .Inequality at all levels from supply to distribution of vaccinations and access to patients @pulsetoday @NikkiKF

Commenting on reports on mixing vaccines, Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisations at PHE, said: “We do not recommend mixing the COVID-19 vaccines – if your first dose is the Pfizer vaccine you should not be given the AstraZeneca vaccine for your second dose and vice versa.”
