My experience of having Covid jab
One of the advantages of age is that you get further up the queue when it comes to administration of the vaccination against the Covid-19 virus.
I’m pleased to say that I have had mine today. I was beginning to think that somehow I had missed my turn, as I know of several people who have had theirs and they were younger than me!
It seems that some doctor’s practices have had allocations of the vaccine before others.
Part of the problem being availability, not only of stocks of the vaccine, but also the facilities to store them, some requiring temperatures lower than is normal in the fridge which is standard issue to surgeries.
It was first held in 1797 with a gathering of farmers in Broad Street, Hereford. There were initially three independent show societies, but they united in 1922. The show toured different locations, rotating each year to be the ‘host’ county, a tradition that continues to this day. It was Leominster s turn in 1950, and although the BFI film concentrates on the show itself, there are also tantalising glimpses of life in Leominster. One scene shows a policeman directing traffic so light it would barely merit the description today! The town s streets are decorated to welcome visitors from around the world, and there are glimpses of the Clifton Cinema with its flags and bunting.
