Here’s our very own forum superstar healthcare professional Eamonn Clarke getting the vaccine!

Nice one Eamonn!!

Just catching up here. Thanks, SM.

We have a vaccination hub at a nearby practice in two poly tunnels that were erected by volunteers. I have been administering both the Pfizer and the AstraZeneca jabs for the last few weeks and apart from some sore bruised arms no serious reactions. Blooming cold in the tunnels though.

It won’t surprise you to learn that our biggest problem is getting the vaccines. We’ve had deliveries cancelled and others turning up with a few days notice. Still we haven’t wasted any vaccine doses. If they give us the jabs we’ll get the job done.

Cheers.

I am a complete airhead and forget that Lyndon Webb very kindly donated an original Judge Dredd piece and a set of his colour prints.
Luckily I still had the bowl and picked another name and this special prize goes to Alan Knowles.

Huge thanks to Lyndon and I’ll be in touch with Alan to arrange delivery.
