I've probably missed it but have you had your test results back?

Nope still awaiting results ... the average is 3 days at the moment I believe ... often they arrive at 6am but don’t think that’s always the case

My first one last week was a 17 hour response ... it’s very varied ... it seems like postal ones take a bit longer ... than the drive through samples ... might just be my experience though

If you are going into hospital for an operation or procedure you isolate for 7 days before then they test you 3 days before!! They only let you know if  you test positive!

Excellent, my moods and levels of optimism have been up and down like an uppity downy thing in recent times.  It’s good to get positive news about a negative result! Just looking forward to the jab, jag, injection or whatever your regional term is for it😁

indeed ... thanks .... after my isolation ends ive only got 5 working shifts before ive got 2 weeks off .... I decided to use some of my annual leave up whilst the rates are at their highest .... that will take me  closer to my earliest date for the jab ... Its gonna be great seeing people on here getting them along with friends and family ... and ticking people off the list of concerns

My sister had her jab saturday afternoon she works for NHS as business support so I'm hoping thats an indication they are getting through the NHS staff fairly swiftly!!

Hopefully they are. Mrs C is waiting for her call for a jab, she’s a care at home assistant and was called out of retirement when the crisis deepened. Im going to sneak it around March as a very young at heart just turned 65 year old!

Yep, my friend (with no underlying health conditions and younger than me) is a social worker. She got the Pfizer vaccine on the 8th.

Fingers crossed it does seemed to be very mixed who is being jabbed when!!! They seem to be doing the best they can!! Strangely its unsettled my 75year old as they cant understand why the whole house hasnt been done!! They live together!! 
i dont know if others are finding this but it seems to have scared the older age group being in lock down again my parents really didnt get it last time!

She works directly with adults. Our Local Authority are discussing vaccinations for teachers this week apparently.

Oo she was.. She sits in a chair that I sat in as did my children and so forth and even tho she NEEDS TO BE HELD she gets the right hump if we as much as touch her or the chair.. Especially if baby Evie has just sat in it..
