Quote The 15-minute observation period following a vaccination with Pfizer or Moderna will be temporarily suspended as part of new measures to speed up the booster rollout as part of our emergency response to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant. Published 14th Dec so I guess it depends when you were stuck. Edited December 19, 2021 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 15 minute wait? On my flu jab I didn’t even get to sit down! I handed over my form, nurse walked around the table and jabbed me, stood there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be easier to hit the targets if they could get Covid jabs done that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post El Zen Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2021 PCR confirmed as positive. I feel awful, not from COVID, but from the fact that my six year old son almost certainly has to spend xmas in quarantine because I had (effectively) a sinus infection the week before. None of the other two in the house are experiencing any symptoms, almost a full week since mine started. They’re getting tested tomorrow, but you’d think they’d have been showing symptoms by now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Why do we have to quarantine still. I mean I wouldn't go and party, but surely if we wear a mask we are keeping others safe. Or do the government think most of us are too stupid to adhere to the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted December 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2021 I think masks help to some extent but not to the point of infected people just going about their normal business care free. And yes most people definitely are too stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just going to have two immediate family members over for xmas eve (which is the main event here). According to quarantine rules in Norway, we probably won’t be allowed to do that, even if we all test negative by then.

So yes, they obviously wouldn't say it, but I guess if you can trust yourself, its okay to say, go shopping with a positive test, as long as you keep your mask on and wash your hands. I mean I know the government are acting as though it's worst than the plague, but as long as you are sensible................ 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) I know a few on here think I've got a very militant attitude to Covid but I've just popped down to my local retail park. Had to walk down a SLIGHTLY narrow pavement, not really narrow, probably feels narrower than it is because it's right up against the side of the building. Anyway, as I was outside I didn't have my mask on. 2 different people coming the other way with masks on literally flattened themselves against the wall as I came past. I've got no problem with that if that's how they feel but I'm clearly not as paranoid as many other people.

Seeing as the world has been on stop for the last 18 months due to the Covid virus, going out whilst positive for the virus with a bit of cloth over your mouth is a pretty selfish thing to do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no it absolutely is not and I'm frankly shocked (though I actually shouldn't be) that after all that's gone on someone would think that it's OK. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can’t force you to stay. With AZ it was if you drove there. Because I live on the same road as the hospital where I got my jabs, I said I’m walking home, rather than waiting in a room full of other people, if I feel I’ll I’ll walk back, and they said fine, we can’t force you to wait here.
