Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Just if anyone was interested- no further noticeable side effects after first day. All is well.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
I don't think it works like. Friend of mine is 58 and got it for the same reasons DT's friend did. She is now on the list for her second jab within the same time scale as the people she took there. Once you're on the bookings system, it seems to generate your date for your second jab automatically.Asian Boss wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 9:00 pmWhat if she can't get the second dose for ages and that somehow banjaxes it?
Then Covid could come and get her, very much like House of Pain.
She should have pushed over a few TEs and grabbed a second dose.

Sounds like Deffy can stock up on the vaccine and I can get the G/F to do the injecting.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Mrs W got her first one before Xmas and was a little bit ropey (headache mainly), she got her second 10 days or so ago and was noticeably worse after that one. Headache, joint pain and just felt pretty shitty. Started about 24 hrs after the second jab and lasted about 60 hours. All good now though. That was the Pfizer flavour.

That's exactly what Mrs irie had for 48 hours after her first jab (AZ) last week.wheelnut wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 9:30 pmMrs W got her first one before Xmas and was a little bit ropey (headache mainly), she got her second 10 days or so ago and was noticeably worse after that one.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
My wife had first jab before Xmas. 2nd jab now put back to March. First jab gives 50 ish % of something, 2nd 90 ish % of something, potentially.
So, with the 50, does it mean, her chance of catching it is halved or her potential illness will be half as bad as it would of been. ???
Worst case, if she would of died, now she won't. If she would of had minor symptoms, she may now have none. So my thinking is, when you've had a jab, symptoms will still vary between folk.
Is my thinking good or bad.???

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
I think your reasoning mirrors the government’s. Although the medical consensus seems to be going the other way.Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 9:35 am My wife had first jab before Xmas. 2nd jab now put back to March.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Your thinking is OK, but... AFAICG, the 50% you quote is arrived at by averaging the protection at day 1 over the period to day 21. Obviously at day 1 protection is nearly zero, at day 21 its around 90% >> av 50, which isn't a realistic figure. That's my understanding, from something I read somewhere. No, don't ask.
One of the problems with sticking to the 3 week interval for the booster is that after 3 weeks, when the very vulnerable (80+) are due their 2nd injection, we're still in the middle of vaccinating the vulnerable (70+) for the first time. We don't have double the vaccinating capacity - staff or vaccine - to do this. It'll still be a problem 12 weeks on, but at least then we should be down to the slightly less vulnerable waiting for their first jab.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Thanks gents,
I'll tell her, her chances of dieing are half they would of been, but being dependant on how easily she would of died without the vaccine.
It her birthday today.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
The AZ vaccine is flooring more of our staff here. One of our directors is currently in hospital following theirs- probably unrelated, but just collapsed 2 days after.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Of course people are dying since having the vaccine.
Not only is the vaccine ( any) not 100% effective, you have the opportunity to catch c19 whilst building your vaccine response.
Plus, new variants etc. The hope is that we keep distancing and get vaccinated.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
More concerns on the news about the Govt's decision to lengthen the time between jabs, this time raised by the manufacturer. Apparently we're the only country doing this?

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Denmark approved the delay of the second dose, Germany are considering it, and WHO had said it is ok.
Just shows - even science cant 100% agree on it...
