I just heard on the news that the rate of infection has dropped in the UK with the lowest "R" number since last July,

It's now between 0.7 and 0.9 according to the latest estimate.
The number of infections is also thought to be shrinking between 2% and 5% each day
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

That happened to my friend's parents even though they are both in their 80s and not very healthy.

She contacted their GP on her parents' behalf and it seem they'd 'slipped through the cracks' somehow. Might be worth a call to your local Surgery to see what's going on?

I won't bother to call our GP yet. Its still early days for that age group and we're at the youngest end, actually I'm just outside that age range at the moment but not for much longer. :P I'm a bit worried I will slip through the cracks due to changing age groupings in the next few weeks. If my husband gets invited and I don't I will phone them up.

In our country they will not be vaccinating children at all, I'm not sure about the vulnerable children, the article did sound like ALL children won't be vaccinated. I think this is a good step at this stage. I'm not sure if the vaccine at this stage should be used in any children, even the vulnerable as I feel the vaccine/s have still got a lot of work to perfect it, it's still early days.

The cons of giving a vulnerable child the vaccine I'm not sure.

-Is your country allowing children to be vaccinated???

-What are your thoughts??

I read that the AstraZenica vaccine was going to be trialed in children aged between 6 and 17

I am sorry to see New Zealand has had to put Auckland into a short lockdown again
