Margaret, thank you for giving your thought-provoking comments to my concerns. There are certainly many questions that should be answered but information that we can trust is sadly lacking to my way of thinking.

I can’t understand why old people in nursing homes are being given the vaccine before it is being offered to the general public. Isn’t the idea of widespread vaccination intended to be to not only stop people from getting the virus but also to stop it spreading, so shouldn’t this be first offered to those who are out and about, mixing with others, with the hope this WILL stop the spread. Those old people in nursing homes sadly might be the most vulnerable but they don’t often mix with the wider community.

Sorry, but I really can’t understand the logic of this.
