I wouldn’t be so sure. In 2001 our government had a recruitment campaign for a much smaller animal health vaccination program, to try to stop FMD.
I knew a couple of farmer’s sons (& shearers with little work) that enrolled on it. They went off to do a residential course on jabbing, at an Ag college in Devon. The ‘teacher’ started by saying they would eat art by running cattle into a crush.....followed by a ruck of hands going up, to ask what a ‘crush’ was. They eventually got past the basics of cattle handling and moved on to practical sessions.....where they practised jabbing on rolled up carpets!
The urgency of this vaccination program is far greater of course, and still run by HMG.

I think the whole job is well dodgy!

I don't deny that GP surgeries have access to folk's information. They could however, simply contact people and then have the vaccination literally done on the spot by another party. Yes, people have to linger around blah blah blah but GP surgeries are hardly 'not busy'- they have far more important things to be doing than handing out a vaccine. Millions of GP appointments happen per year and getting one can be difficult in many regions.
They are recruiting dozens of people to vaccinate folk. They will not be doctors and it is highly unlikely they will be nurses though a nurse or similar will be on hand in case someone does experience an adverse reaction to it. My friend who is a mere healthcare worker like myself, has signed up but is already able to perform venepuncture.

I don't understand why there is such surprise about this. You don't need a huge amount of training to inject or take blood from people.

Has your Mrs got to all the paperwork required to do this onerous task, retired doctors are being asked for 21 pieces of evidence, eg, such gems as level 1 prevention of radicalisation training etc.
I don't believe that is true.

I doubt many vaccines claim 100% efficacy. Not least because a proportion of the population won't generate a satisfactory immune response to it- that is hardly the fault of the vaccine, however.

3 years of work references is standard NHS sausage machine stuff, there is no huge amount of training required to inject people, my friend has done the training as part of her role.

Give me an automatic syringe and I could do 300 / hr. I would want someone filling the race though.
You couldn’t do it, you would need to mark them so they didn’t get done again before they were supposed to, and if you saw one with bad feet you’d be wanting to tip them over and sort them out.

Take a look, you have to provide evidence of the following:-
NHS Professionals - COVID-19 Vaccination Programme - Registered Health Care Professional (Immunisations)
With clinical trials progressing well, the NHS is preparing to deliver Covid-19 vaccines to millions of at-risk people to start with, across the country as soon as they are approved by the MHRA, the official UK regulator.

It certainly is for my wife,who has done over 20 years of nursing across all levels,A@E,intensive care,dialysis,routine vaccinations ,etc.
Hearing this stuff about varying rates does make me wonder what the claimed figures are for the livestock vaccines, something I haven't thought about before. It would put a different angle on the "should we bother" discussion.

And your point is about references? ........they are still required for professionals returning to work. While any tom,dick,or harry from the street after doing a few hours of training can start jagging people. The first report of a vaccination on one of the news channels was of a vaccination administered in the arm with the needle pointing upwards.My wife winced;" this is what you do if you are drawing blood elsewhere,not vaccinating in the arm".

The "P" in pneumonia vaccines for sheep only covers one type.There are 4 types.One of the reasons i went back to using Covexin8,instead of OvivacP.Its an awful lot cheaper.
My mrs is a health visitor so uses it all the time, didnt read your link, does it say it doesnt work? Since virgin took over running her service in this area things have got much better, they actually have a laptop now to input info instead of paper based system,

It looks like it works ok but with the usual data share/security issues that goes with big IT systems.

Supposedly there is something of a crossover protection against the other serotypes in the P+ vaccines. But yes, my commercial sheep are on Bravoxin now.
