    I am happy to wait my turn and believe that when the medics see it appropriate they will call me. It is important that we get those most at risk vaccinated first and then build on from there. People need to continue to follow government guidelines and look out for each other, sadly not everyone views the situation in this way. I hope everyone continues to remain well. Thank you.

    It was my birthday on Tuesday, and we had Clyde the Caterpillar :) 

    To answer the OP, I haven't had the vaccine yet, I'll probably be amongst the last. However my partner, a front line worker, has her first dose on Monday.

    Well said! @WestHam06
    I had to have a tooth out yesterday and the dentist was talking about her son, I remember thinking, "that's scary, having to work in such close proximity to patients and then going home to your child at the end of each day"
    It would worry me sick!

    @Cress hotels in wales have allowed ftontline workers to stay so that it cuts down the risk of  passing the virus to family members  which has been really good

    Lol I hope it didn't seem pedantic! I found out 2 of my work colleagues were having an affair when she left a caterpillar cake outside his office door :) on his birthday. He was embarassed and gave me the cake which I bought home for my son!

    I understand what you mean @Cress, and it's only when you hear of real life stories such as the one you mention that it really brings it home. The risk they are being asked to take on a daily basis, it's hard to comprehend. Hope you are ok after having your tooth out. Thank you.
