Pfizer vaccine approved

[Horse]

When we had our Pfizer jabs (2 different venues) we were given a sticky note with a time written. Then sat and watched the clock for 15 minutes.

Up here the Pfizer jabees have to sit in the hall where they were jabbed for 15 minutes. The AZ ones were trusted to sit in their cars for 15 minutes.

Same here yesterday when I went for my second jab. Oxford recipients could leave immediately and Pfizer had to wait.

It was interesting to see who waited in the car park, and who didn't.

FWIW I didn't, I had my jab and then drove straight home. I didn't get where I am from hanging about in car parks.

I had the AZ one, but the bloke helping out said on the Pfizer days they had hardly any queue as they couldn't get anywhere near as many people through as they had to wait in the hall for 15 after the jab so they processed a lot less people.

Shouldn't make any difference if the hall can accommodate 15 minutes worth of vaccination rate.

I didn't get where I am

Home?

With AZ they said wait 15 mins in your car (or my case walking round Morrisons) with Pfizer they said you had to wait in the hall for 15 mins. So with AZ it was 3-4 mins in and out rolling constantly, with Pfizer it was dose X number of people then have to wait 15 mins, then another X number of people and given it's a small village hall they couldn't process anywhere near the same number as once full of dosed people they couldn't get any more in.

In a big place probably not much difference.

Both centres I've been in had about enough seats to cope with throughput.

Our boys got their Pfizer jabs at the village pharmacy. No room to wait in there 2mins let alone 15....thankfully they were all fine.

My lads absolutely fine today. Does seem to show that the Pfizer is more likely to give a shock reaction thing, and Az less so. Don't know about side affects.

DiL (27 and fit and healthy) had the Pfizer about 2 weeks ago. Mrs W got a phone call from our son last Sunday while we were out to say that DiL wasn’t feeling well, severe headache, blurry vision and struggling to speak. Mrs W advises to dial 999 - ambulance was there within a couple of minutes as they (and uz) suspected a stroke (facial muscles were also affected). She was wizzed in for a CT scan which came back clear, followed by a full MRI which was inconclusive. She escaped hospital on Friday but is still being treated as an inpatient.

Attending paramedic said that they had had a couple of similar cases in the last few weeks and if you look on the NHS website, the possible side effect symptoms (and it advises 111) are now listed as headaches, blurry vision and difficulty speaking . That has just appeared on there, it wasn’t there early in the week.

She seems to be slowly improving, still very nauseous, speaking is better but not back to normal.

Blimey, that's a bit scary.

[Dodgy69]

How long after jab did she become ill.?

How long after jab did she become ill.?

About a week to 10 days.

Couple of developments today:

1, Median age of death in the US: 77. Median age of death during the *pandemic*.... 78. eh?

2, Biden said today that people will be going door to door to make sure people get the vaccine... I see that being a fairly short-lived experiment in Govt control...

It's been doe here, in one of the hotspots where vaccine take up was low. No idea whether it was successful or not, but if it was then perhaps that's why it's being done.

All that means is it affected older people more than younger ones, no surprise there.
An adjustment will follow as there aren't as many old people around now, so next year is likely to be 76.

It affected the crusties by giving them an extra year of life?

It's age of death, not life expectancy so it just means more older people died than usual.
