From what I've read I wish I'd had the Pfizer vaccine as it is more efficacious than the AstraZeneca. You guys that've had the Pfizer how many weeks until they have booked you in for the second jab?

 

[plumbingo]

Moderna vaccine received by anyone here?

 

[Murdoch]

Well, the misses had the

Well, the misses has the Pfizer and subsequently tested positive for Covid. Me and the kids had the AZ and so far we’re clear

That's the combination people in my area (Devon) who I know seem to be getting.

 

[townfanjon]

I will refuse booster , since second jab , I now get migraines!!!!! not bloody happy at all .

These vaccine passports are going to cause hell all over the world .

I had covid Feb 20 (tested positive for antibodies later) then both az jabs.
Had flu jab 3 weeks ago yesterday been very ill flu type symptoms injection site badly swollen for 2 weeks. Doctors think it's a reaction to all covid antibodies in my system.

It's sad to hear people with reactions to Covid jabs. Sadly, the vaccinations are the best defence we have and the only way we can reopen without 1000s of deaths so it must be a bit of bugger when they don't work well for people. Luckily my own reaction to the vaccination was mild, but I'm glad I had the jab (unlike several I know who managed to catch Covid and die before vaccinations became available).

Personally I think the passport thing I have here in Italy (which shows I am vaccinated, cured, or have a recent negative test) is wonderful as it means I can sit in a restaurant without risking sitting next to a no-mask, no vax, no testing person who may well infect me (albeit temporarily, as I'm hopefully immune, having had both Moderna shots) and put me and my family at risk. I see it much like having a driving licence (which I currently don't have as the Italian state won't let me use my UK one). I can see how badly implemented schemes will cause trouble, however.

What is even sadder, is that a number of people (shall we say a very significant minority?) are refusing the vaccination out of fear or to make a political point even when they are lucky enough to live in countries that would be able to give it to them. Unfortunately their choice to use their civil liberty to remain unvaccinated reduces other people's civil liberties very much (for example townfanjon who has good reason not to want a booster and who may find himself at risk or having to isolate/refuse work in order to remain safe if others don't vaccinate).

 

[Ric2013]

Moderna vaccine received by anyone here?

Yeah. Had Moderna in July and August. Sore arm both times, and spent a day in bed with mild fever after the second jab (which was great as I needed a day off!). No other effects.

I have been like that since flu jab two weeks ago like a cold but it doesn’t develop , tested myself twice and negative but could have had COVID as wife tested positive last week. Luckily only slight symptoms now finished isolation. We both are double jabbed just waiting for boosters

Coronavirus ("how long is a piece of string" pandemic) vaccines as on October 24 2021 - are needed more for:

1. eating - can't be masked,
2. drinking - can't be masked,
3. head face neck nose mouth ear eye cleaning / bathing in shared areas - can't be masked,
4. dentistry work - can't be masked, and
5. some medical work - can't be masked

Transmission is not being stopped by covid vaccines. This can be seen in the statistics. At all other stages, it is face masks and eyewear I'm afraid to say.

Next time I want the moderna for the full house 🤣🤣

 

[townfanjon]

As said , this is going to cause huge problems , Australia being one , major problems down under.
I do not blame anyone for not wanting a jab , its personal choice as is wearing a mask .

 

[WC1]

3rd shot of pfizer last week. Hardly noticed any of them apart from slightly sore shoulder. 👍

 

[WC1]

Its not personal choice its a duty to society. Its as much for me as it is for my friends and family, especially my parents, i wouldn't be able to cope if i thought they had caught it from me.

 

[Jim09876]

I wasn’t wanting the vaccine but now forced to have it to go on holiday! Perhaps comes from my folks never getting flu jabs etc.

Surprising how many NHS workers choosing not to vaccinate given their first hand knowledge and experience also.

 

[WC1]

"In England, NHS data suggests 93% of eligible frontline staff have been vaccinated - equivalent to one million doses"

Avertissement de redirection

Published in march, the 93% can only have gone up since. But of course that info comes from nhs via bbc, both of which have an obvious interest in turning us into bill gates microchipped zombie army.

I now know it shouldn't of made much difference despite what I said, primarily the vaccine (either) will stop you from getting seriously ill (symptomatic COVID) rather than reduce the chances of catching it in the first place. That's why the UK has a sky high infection rate but no where near the hospital admissions it had before. Hope she is ok?

 

[gmartine]

No reaction to first vaccine, feverish for 24hrs after the second (OxfordAZ). The nurse said her hubby was in bed for a week after the first but no reaction after the second so it can affect us so very differently. Waiting for booster invite which should be in Novenber 6 months after second jab. I want it to be a different manufacturer, should stimulate the immune system other vaccines didn't reach.
