Covid vaccine.

[roubaixtuesday]

Different vaccine.

Ah, sorry, got mixed up. You were writing about the AZ/Oxford vaccine, @Drago about the Pfizer one. For @Drago the data and link I posted above are for the AZ/Oxford one. I'll see if I can find the publication for the Pfizer jab.

Equivalent reports from the Pfizer phase I data.

Reactions were worse at the second jab (for the same dose). Summarised as "Local reactions and systemic events were dose-dependent, generally mild to moderate, and transient. " so certainly not seen as massively unusual.

Yes I will and accept the risk

 

[potsy]

I would have it, but I am under 50 so am not in the initial list.

I wonder if employers will offer it to their staff, mine does free flu jabs every year so maybe?

Yes sorry, the confusion is my fault for bringing up the Oxford study.

I will have it as soon as I am offered it. I want to feel safe when others around me are not keeping their distance.

My employer always has in the past. We were told it couldn't be offered this year as there weren't enough available nationally

If the vaccine still let's you have the virus in you, but not make you ill from it, would it still be possible to transmit it to someone else?

After the Royal Family, House of Lords, cabinet and senior civil service it will be a case of sharpest elbows first.

Surely if one doesn't mix with the plebs then one has no need of a vaccination? 😄

 

[BoldonLad]

It really isn't. It needs mass uptake to be effective, so I'd cheerfully make it mandatory. And I'll happily be jabbed when the time comes - it's as important a part of being a member of society as paying taxes or getting educated.

Mandatory medication? a slippery slope, I personally, would not want to start down....

Nobody knows yet

Just

I can't even get the flu jab - docs phoned today for me to get a blood test (due), oh, see you Monday (no wait). I said, I'm ahem over 50 (just) can I get the flu jab at the same time ? No you aren't in the target - we're doing the at risk first.... I could blag it and say I'm my son's carer, which we are, but I'm not working in the Uni as at home, so not coming into any contact with virus infested students (most have had it now though).

I don't really understand why people wouldn't want the Covid vaccine - it's your civic duty to protect your fellow citizens.

I think you've just answered your own question.

Ding Ding Ding, Nobody knows anything yet about this miracle vaccine, there's an old saying which says if it's seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.
