Your Tuesday evening update from the Lancashire Post
View email online | | | | | | | | | Nov 30, 2021 | | | | | | | | Good evening, The Government has tonight promised to ‘throw everything’ at the plan to get everyone a booster jab as quickly as possible.
The Army, retired NHS staff, volunteers and existing medical workers are all likely to be involved in the programme to get every single person a jab if they want the protection.
On the one hand this is going to be a monumental task - we know that because we have already been down this road.
However, it does give us cause for optimism because why vaccinate if we genuinely believe that the vaccine will not be effective against the new variant, Omicron?
And it is crucial that this strategy works if we are going to avoid another, unwanted lockdown.
We know that our hospitals and ambulance services are struggling to cope with the influx of patients already this winter, so we cannot afford to see the kind of spike in cases we found in the first and second waves, which would make a lockdown inevitable.
That is the last thing any of us wants. The vaccine programme must work - the alternative is unthinkable. Until next time, take care, Gillian Contact me at [email protected] | |
