Today in the BBC it was announced that the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine approved for use in UK. They said they've enough for approximately 50 million people. Along with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the whole of the UK population should be covered.

I can't say I've completely kept up to date with who is the first to be inoculated other than those in care homes etc. I have to wonder about those next in line to receive it. What about those who live with vulnerable people yet aren't working in care, or aren't yet old enough?

I live with two people over 60. One of them has bad enough asthma they have to have an inhaler to help ease it. Surely amongst NHS staff and those living in care homes, or are over 80, could also be next to get it? What about those of us living with vulnerable people? Would we also get it? Or would it just be the vulnerable people themselves?

I've been trying my best to adhere to lockdown regulations the best I can. I keep telling myself to hold on just a bit longer... but I'm getting so fed up of being cooped up. I keep reminding myself I'm doing it for the benefit of my family, and for others around me. I keep reminding myself that if I keep sticking to lockdown regulations, the NHS will have one less person to deal with. Especially since right now they're already under terrible strain.

Hopefully this new vaccine will help speed things up.
