Astra Zeneca

[look out piano]

I think somebody said earlier its the first jab where the blood clots occur so probably you are fine.

Fingers crossed fella

You be worse off on a ventilator

I'm a little concerned about getting the 2nd AZ jab as I'm a heavily overweight, pill taking 45 year old tbh. Might have to speak to someone but I don't think they can mix and match vaccines currently.

As has been said, my understanding is that if you were going to have a reaction, you would have had it already after the first jab

Germany are mixing but we won't I doubt.
Still in trials but weirdly I would prefer the Pfizer jab as the 2nd dose but only because of efficiency reasons.

The numbers were higher in women as more women have had the vaccine compared to men. The CMH guy said the prevalence of the adverse event v vaccines given represented similar numbers based on gender

And if I was <30 I would also get my 2nd dose, given that they are saying the adverse event is likely to occur within 10-14 days of the first dose.

Edit: For anyone - Who was the clown (maybe highground) who said that it only occurred after the 2nd dose because you have had more of the vaccine?.....

That's the boyo.

I think I may have told him/her not to be so silly.

The anti-vaxxers are going to make a meal of this unfortunately, but this was always going to happen I suppose.

Trials are taking place in U.K. as well, I’m fairly certain that the Russian Sputnik is one of the vaccines being looked at

Shady ethics.

Unless an emergency, don't expect approval.

Hmmmmmmm.......

Hmmmmmmm.......

Many are called but few were chosen.

Mr Starmer says take it.

@Keir_Starmer: The AstraZeneca vaccine is safe, effective and saving thousands of lives. Trust in our doctors and scientists. When it is your turn to get the jab, do so. My first dose was AstraZeneca and I look forward to getting my second dose when it is offered.

Hmmmmmmm.......

Any reason you chose to ignore the preceding comments which make her 'at risk' ?

That's a good point.

as someone just over 30 makes me think twice about getting it to be honest. i know the risk is incredibly low but the same could be said about covid itself for someone my age

Its not really up to him is it.

It's not really about protecting you though, it's reducing the link of transmission.

Ironically, not many 18-30 year olds end up on a ventilator.

granted I haven't really read much about the vaccines other that what makes the headlines but my understanding was they reduce the likelihood of you becoming sick from the virus, not necessary catching/spreading it

I think he meant he would get a different vaccine

Why? I don't care if it gave a me an arse like the Sarlacc I would snap your hand off for an AZ vaccine jab.
