sidcow Posted March 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2021 It's funny, I look at 224,996 vaccines today and feel disappointed. Yet when you think about it, it's still just under a quarter of a million in a single day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t say if they were also doing it before they were vaccinated to be able to say people act differently post vaccine? It suggests they are breaking the rules/law but might not be necessarily. My grandparents for example had a new boiler fitted 2 weeks ago. They also had someone in to fix a broken socket.

AVFC_Hitz Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Very sobering moment today. My colleague and I walked into the surgery to have our second dose. She, at that very moment, received a phone call to say her father in law had died from Covid. The good news, personally, is that I'm fully dosed up with the Moderna vaccine. I'll have to wait a few days to receive a certificate from my GP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I had the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine yesterday. Woke up this morning and feel like I did when I had the flu-jab a few years ago. Nothing major, but quite achey across my arms, back and neck - kind of like that feeling when you have a bad cold coming, but without the other symptoms. Good excuse for a day off work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm mostly just happy that people might kind of force reopening faster than the schedule just by behaviour change, rather than looking to 'blame' anyone as such. 5 hours ago, Genie said: Doesn’t say if they were also doing it before they were vaccinated to be able to say people act differently post vaccine?

I think there's data - although admittedly I don't have it to hand - of 'contacts' previously, suggesting that this is a significant increase. I'll have a look for it later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Genie Posted March 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2021 Just back from taking my wife for her vaccine. Immensely efficient. She got out the car at 16:24 and then at 16:29 she emerged from the side door of the surgery. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my wife wasn’t they asked her go just wait in the car for 5 minutes before leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her sister who was made to wait 20mins doesn't drive, and my missues who was alone and drove was in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be cause to wait in case there is a reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I had to wait 15 minutes after mine, no allergies and driving. I gather that is Pfizer rules, presumably not required for AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather that is Pfizer rules, presumably not required for AZ. I had AZ, and I was 'advised' to give it 15 mins before driving - but the guy added that tbh if you're going to get an allergic reaction it would probably be in the first minute. In other news, my wife has still not had a letter, but - as suggested in this thread - she went through the website and got an appointment for March 19th. So thank you, VT. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Link Quote The Italian government has blocked the export of an Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine shipment to Australia. The decision affects 250,000 doses of the vaccine produced at an AstraZeneca facility in Italy. Italy is the first EU country to use the bloc's new regulations allowing exports to be stopped if the company providing the vaccines has failed to meet its obligations to the EU. The move has been backed by the European Commission, reports say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
