Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

I have 2 teacher friends who've had it as their schools are on the contact list for the end of the day leftovers. Much happier that they (and other key workers) are getting those than randoms who fancy jumping the queue.

either quote the whole post or none.

Why would I quote the rest of your post?

The first sentence was about how some of your friends have gamed the system to get the Oxford jab. The rest was a rambling edit presumably aimed at @Sifta

Neither had anything to do with hanging around vaccination centres.

Either way, I'm fairly sure I get to decide whether to quote a whole post or not.

My point was don't encourage people to do this, it's irresponsible. If everybody did it, it would be impossible to run vaccination centres. My work runs a vaccination centre and if anyone does come and hang around it like a creepy weirdo it's very likely we'll get security to escort you off the premises.

People miss appointments and isn't it a good idea to use up the shots rather than just throw them away? If you really want to jump the queue, why not?

A bit like @Fox my team is supporting a vaccine hub twice a week, working a nine and a half hours day, spending large chunks of that outside in the freezing cold. People rocking up in hope of a jab, when they’re not on the list is really unhelpful to them for all sorts of reasons, and will be a waste of time for the chancer. Yes, there is wastage at the end of each shift and it would be good to find a solution, but your suggestion isn’t it.
