    I didn't get a fixed date for the second, mine was done at the local medical centre.

    edit: I also got several texts reminding me about the appointment :)

    Just checked. Nothing on the card. But the text for the 2nd jab is for an appointment on 6th May at 9:10 am.

    I think those reports weren't accurate John, I have spoken to a few people, including in manila, none had heard of it, then this report......

    I would certainly like the security of having a fixed appointment date but hope that given they dealt with me quite well for the first one that it will be the same for the second one.

    Missed this post John, the only mention of vaccines that I have heard was a government officer trying to convince the seniors over 18 in our house to register for a vaccine and as I mentioned earlier both Dhang and Nanay refused because of stupid internet rumours.

    I don't think they will do children in the Philippines but who knows they make strange decisions sometimes.

    Police and soldiers, not doctors and medical staff and the elderly, shows you where their priorities lie.

    Here in the UK the elderly are in many cases an indirect cash cow for the gov. When they go into care--if they have capital / savings/ property / private pensions then they have to pay their care fees themselves. This starts from about £600 a week upwards. This supports an army of care staff---and other hangers on further up the food chain. It is a huge and growing sector of the economy. So the longer the wealthy elderly can be helped to live==the better.

    Those that dont have any real wealth are supported by their local authority--who dont have any money--but the council tax payers do!
