As they don't seem to have explained their problem, at least not in detail, we are left guessing. Could be refrigerated transport. Which I think needs to have some sort of logging monitor when used for medicines.
Must be a regional thing. Our surgery has just booked up 3 months worth of flu jabs. All slots now taken. (sept/oct/Nov) I, d guess that's all the appropriate folk covered??? (for that surgery)

Or perhaps they have not yet read the email telling them they won't be getting a delivery? :)

But although it is apparently the largest source, it is not the only one. Could be your surgery is getting theirs from elsewhere.

I, ll post after next Saturday about it. (my appointment) Doubt very much surgery would be organising specific times/nurses from this Monday and for next 3 months without knowing they had vaccines to cover appointments, but we, ll see.

Around twenty years ago we were being shown pictures of bare shelves in the supermarkets of Zimbabwe. All the blame being heaped on Robert Mugabe (and the rest of the government) by the UK government and a large part of the media.

It took Mugabe around twenty years after first becoming PM to reach that state.

Johnson has managed to get bare shelves in the supermarkets of the UK onto our screens and into our newspapers in barely a tenth as long. Who says he isn’t suited to the job?

Extended half-term holiday as part of October firebreak?
It’s all part of the irreversible end to lock-down announced just a few weeks ago. I’m dead against it. I think all restrictions should remain lifted. It’s the only way people are going to realise that they need to look after themselves.

It‘s harsh on teachers and people in similar profession. They should behave like GPs and hide.

I have seen a particular idea mentioned several times recently. More or less, I'm not anti-vaxx, but I am not going to have a vaccination until it is no longer authorised on an emergency use basis. Probably not before 2023.

Ignoring:
By 2023 there will likely be enhanced vaccines directed at the variants then going round. (Whether or not they are fully approved or emergency use, who can know?)
The Pfizer vaccine is fully approved in the USA.
By 2023 the effect of the majority of the populations of many countries having been vaccinated will be in place.

My take is that they are people who are going down the anti-vaxx road but attempting to deny it.
