Covid vaccine.

On our local News Tonight. Some people are refusing the Pfizer Vaccine, because they want to wait for the "English one". Apparently, some people don't want to be given a "German Vaccine".

As far as I knew, the Pfizer vaccine was developed and manufactured in Belgium. The "English Vaccine" (ie AstraZenaca) was developed in Oxford, but, manufactured in India. I could be wrong.

More for those for those further down the queue, and, presumably Darwinism may prevail.

Only more for those further down if they've already got them queued up, remember it goes off in a couple of days. And unfortunately 'Darwinism' in this case doesn't just affect the individual, we're all depending on the required threshold of immunity being reached.

Yes, and yes.

It wasn’t me who refused the vaccine.

I do apologise for being flippant about a certain section of the community’s ignorance.

Mother and partner had first jab yesterday. Oxford vaccine.

She had headache this morning and he felt a bit light headed. Otherwise both ok. They are in late 70s.

Wow almost 4m health and social care workers are included in the first groups to be vaccinated.

Right and proper though this is - it does imo make the figures look artificially better. ( These are easy staff to vaccinate, probably on site, and probably all willing)

Not really most care workers are in the community not in hospitals, they have to go to the vaccine, it doesn't come to them

They felt normal again 24 hours later

You are.

You can still spread it after 2 doses of vaccines, & still fall unwell to it although not as bad. I’d rather mine go to somebody who needs it more than me like the majority of this forum.

The phrase is health and social care workers (that includes non patient facing staff of which I am one. jabbed)

You appear to be arguing with yourself for the sake of it, but whatever floats your boat.

Not at all just saying that 4m jab recipient s are "staff"

No bad thing - but once these are done can the pace be maintained.

I was speaking to a bloke whilst I was working at AstraZeneca in Macclesfield a few weeks ago, he said that theirs was made near Speke Airport.

Just seen this, only applies ti N/ireland but the over 50s can not book for the vaccination. https://vaccinations.covid-19.hscni...0p8rTRGfttI5C3MWWPK6jLtTm3V4vDKb1yzrDSF7XxecY

Not what it says. They are in the list of groups shown in that link.
