This mornings vaccination dream team was made up with Tracy, Sarah, Paul and John (sounds a bit like a dodgy '70's pop group).

Tracy took charge of the radio in the church. Not much queuing in there today and most vaccinees being sent straight to the back door. One lady was asked to take a seat but was expertly stopped before planting her bum down, notice had been received to send her over. One less chair to wipe.

Sarah and Paul ensured the safe passage of vaccinees from the church to the back door. They had the added excitement of the marquee turning up and even lent a helping hand. I did ask the marquee team if they wanted any advice, it was politely declined!!

I had a pretty quite shift in the car park. Looks like there has been a bit of a mix up somewhere as we had two couples turn up for their second vaccination which could not be given as their first was the Pfizer vaccine and wasn't available. Another gentleman arrived to speak to staff as he'd been phoned six times to arrange his first vaccination which he had already had in January and was worried he wouldn't get an invite for Jab two.

I took a quiet moment to get a photo of Sarah & Paul. They thought for a moment and then decided a jumping pose would be appropriate. They were soon joined by Tracy and all three must have thought my photography skills left a little to be desired as it took three attempts. They didn't realise I was encouraging a bit of physical exercise by getting them to perform STAR JUMPS! Now the title makes sense ;-).

Sarah was joined by Judy & Mel to make up this afternoons dream vaccination team.

Stop Press! - Hide the stick is a real thing

Thanks to Sarah for some additional task photos, including a big clue for Paul to help him find his stick (see pic of Tracy),
