Any of you good at vaccinations

[Netherfield]

Good money to be made.​

Amanda Pritchard gives some more details of what the NHS is doing to meet the challenge of expanding the booster programme in England.
She says community pharmacies and GP surgeries will be offered an increased £15 standard payment per delivered jab until January, with an additional £5 payment for jabs given at weekends.
She also says there will be a £30 premium payment for vaccinating people who are housebound.

Our 17-year-old is getting £15 hour + for ringing people up to booking appointments for jabs... Nice earner as a Student.

Ladies and gentlemen, can you imagine how popular Boris will be amongst his former private school chums for this?

£15 quid a jab , doubt our lot would get out of bed for that

I noted today the BMA has had a quiet word with Billy and said we need even more pay to get us to jab folk. Trebles all round the GP practice this evening.

Odd that folk need phoning. New I was about 6 months from second AZ. So just google 'covid jabs' followed the link to NHS site. Entered my NHS number and Bobs your uncle located a local site, selected a time and clicked. Appointment done. Went in Sunday evening. Jabbed and home in half an hour. Why folk find it so difficult I find just odd?!

No idea... But that's what she does.

Often met with pure abuse from people that know better... I'm sure you know the sort.

She couldn't give a f**k what they say or think she humours them , she's there for the Kerching at the end of the month.

No, good for her Jeep Jeep. As I said I jut find it odd folk just do not get themselves sorted. Especially if my age. I know elsewhere on this board are folk who disagree with vaccines. Well me - I decided early doors that my age placed me at risk. And although I think I am reasonably healthy my luck with the Lottery is zero - so I decided my luck with Covid would be the same. Think that is the anti logic position to take. Cheers.

Not everyone has a computer. Also, locally, in the large-ish market town of Melton Mowbray, since the consortium of GP practices pulled out of vaccinating at the local sports centre, it has been very hit and miss. There have been elderly people phoning the practice all the time wanting to know where they can get vaccinated, and the practice just tells them to phone 119. The local centre is only running twice a week and there have been times when it has not opened, although advertised, due to lack of volunteers. It never seems bookable when people phone 119 and if they have no transport the other centres are quite a taxi hike away.

Our local one seems to be making a pigs ear of it - people with appointments sent away, cars blocking the road etc. It was when the local Mayor got shunted off twice that the brown stuff hit the rotary object.

I am good at jabbing cows. Can you smack them twice with the back of your hand and then jab?

Every Pharmacie here will do you a Covid / flu jab, district nurse will come to you if you can't get out. Vaccination centers at all local hospitals and Drs surgeries as well. Though most people dont use the Dr as he's better things to do.
All can be booked via doctolib on line , by phone or in person at the desk.
What's so hard about the UK doing the same?

I do find this all perplexing. Not my experience at all. I have been jabbed three times now. First two were at Boston and then last Sunday Grantham. On all three occasions could not have been simpler or more organised. All three times could not have been a more seamless operation.

OK. Sounds like a bus trip to Grantham then! Was steady flow of folk on Sunday night. I had a 6 pm appointment. five vaccinators working. Had three or four queuing. Arrived at 6 and was jabbed and after the 15 minute wait was on my way at 6.35. Now the BMA has had a word with Billy Bunter and he as put up the price for a jab maybe the GPs will think again - the draw of cash for that extra holiday home / wee investment on the Norfolk coast might garner some action !!!!!

Surely giving sheep farmers the task would be the right idea?
If I can do over 360/hr on moving objects in a race pretty precisely 2” below the ear then surely we are needed
speaking to and showing my neighbours who are both GP’s and have worked in many parts of the world on vaccination programs they said in Africa they used the same needle for a lot of people but it was dipped in sterilising fluid between each patient, farmers use a sterimatic sterile sponge system which cleans the needle every time it’s pressed. My neighbours said it was by far the best system they’d ever seen!

 

[Mr Mackay]

Have spent the last three weeks jabbing myself once a day in the belly with blood thinners
I feel gualified
Where do I sign up?
Essex maybe

I could earn £3600/hour given the rate I can jab the cows and that is with them lose in a shed, get them all lined up with their arse stuck out and @farmerclare to reload the guns I think I could double it.

Very little bedside manner though

And, do the cows sign disclaimers before accepting each jab?

Get secretaries/others to do the paperwork - GP surgery secretaries seem to think they have control of everything so let them do the paperwork.

That's the problem, when I had my second jab I hardly stopped walking as the guy came up jabbed me and I moved on, when I had my flu jab had to sit down and have the talk about was I allergic to eggs etc and then warned it was sharp scratch and did I need to stay sat down to get over it .
The world seems full of people who are scared of a needle
