Not helped at all by refusing help from dental surgeons who are extremely skilled in administering injections. As one recently reported, if he could hit a small area of gum adjacent to a nerve, an intramuscular jab into a bicep is a walk in the park.Well it looks like Scotland is unable to manage vaccination.
Quite why I don't understand. But I'm now hearing multiple sources complaining about having had vaccination appointments allocated centrally that are then followed up by phone calls *to cancel* from their GP surgery. There seems to be a problem getting allocated supplies to those dispensing them that has been going on for maybe a week.
For everybody else it seems that actually procuring the vaccine and finding enough people to dispense it was the hard part.
Of course Scotland always has to be different. There are allegedly supllies allocated - but just not being called off and delivered to those who can dispense.
Those left with cancelled appointments don't know how long they'll have to wait for new ones.
Scotland's vaccination rate is something like three quarters of that in England.
We have heard that there are sufficient vaccine doses here, we know there are more than enough people capable of injecting people, so what’s the hold up?
