Yay! Booked my first Covid Jab for the 22nd!
BTW [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]I just thought I would let you all know that I volunteered for the Russian Vaccine Trial for Covid-19. It's been kept very, very quiet for security reasons. I received my first “jab” and wanted to reassure you all that it’s completely safe with иo side effects whatsoeveя, and that I feelshκι χoρoshό я чувствую себя немного странно и я думаю, что вытащил ослиные уши, comrades.[/color][color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] :lol [/color]
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - fazersharp - 09-03-21
The BBC and Sky make my blood boil sometimes. When not in a lockdown they bang on at the press conference about "Why aren't we in one" then when we are in one they say "why have you shut down this or that" They have been banging on about boris "killing people" with too late lock down or too early lockdown release. So now they are moaning why cant we do the 4 stages quicker. Prompting borris to send out his scientist puppets to give warnings about going too fast. The media news just do stuff to make their own news stories

A PS to my post about booking my Covid Jab:
They were offering vaccination centres based on straight-line distance.
So they suggested I could get one on the Isle of Wight... :rolleyes
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - fazersharp - 18-03-21
My mate has just been informed that their 2nd jab is to be delayed by a week so it will now be 13 weeks after the first.
Also Found this on the BBC website thought was interesting https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56375307 it pretty much backs up everything have said about the old not having side effects and people who have had covid in the past having a worse reaction than someone who has not had it.
My mate is convinced they had it last Feb to mid march.

I'm almost certain i had it in Nov'19, but as i've had the vaccine now there is no way of ever knowing for sure.

Got mine booked for this coming Saturday now.
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - fazersharp - 18-03-21
My mate had their second jab cancelled and postponed by a week to 13 weeks.
This from Jenrick.

Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - Dudeofrude - 18-03-21
Well someone is lying somewhere ? the NHS keep saying there is going to be a shortage of vaccines from the end of March and as such have apparently been told to stop booking more people for April but both vaccine companies have denied there is a supply issue, its been co formed that its nothing to do with the EU spat.... so why is there going to be an issue?
Either the government is lying and just trying to slow down the vaccination program or the suppliers are outright lying about supply??

I was speaking to my 95+ year old neighbour yesterday. She is due her 2nd dose next Friday based on the 12 week wait but does not have an appointment yet.
I did say to people several weeks ago that unless they increased supply and capacity for the jabs they would have issues as soon as 2nd jabs were due. This is down to the fact they want the 1st jab rate to continue at the same pace it has been achieving. Even the simplest of people (which is why MP's and ministers cannot see it) can tell that if you have 500,000 (or whatever the number is) doses of the vaccine and capacity to deploy the same you can only deliver 500,000 doses so to ensure people get their 2nd doses, you have to suspend 1st doses. They wont do this though so the 2nd doses will be postponed again. Eventually it will get to the point where we are well beyond 12 weeks and end up having to have annual boosters instead.
Simple math time if doing it as annual boosters - 50M doses = about 1M a week every week infinitum until Covid-19 goes the same way as tuberculosis etc
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - fazersharp - 18-03-21
Yep as I said Feb 13th

There is such a massive push from the gov to hit the target of 15M that all stops have been pulled out, to date less than 500,000 have had their second jab. I cannot see the second phase rollout to lower age groups continuing at the same pace as they rush to give the second dose before 12 weeks. Wouldn't surprise me if the 12 weeks gets pushed back.
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - Dave48 - 18-03-21
Both my wife & I had our first jab on 7th Jan & our 2nd one yesterday, 17th March.
The health centre wasn't particularly busy yesterday-straight in and out after the15 minute wait to check no adverse reaction.
Well organised here in Birmingham.
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - fazersharp - 19-03-21
The pm is having the az jab today. As he has had covid back in April I predict that he is going to get a kicking from the side effects. Probably planned for him to have it on Friday so he can "disappear" from public view for a few days. Otherwise its not going to be a good advert for the jab.
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - b1k3rdude - 19-03-21
Well I got a sms for the NHS direct, booked that yesterday. And then got a text from my local surgery today. So 2 different bodies nation/local offered me a vaccination :rolleyes

Yep, I got the NHS first, booked it, then got one from my GP. I did think about trying to see if I could an earlier slot with my GP, but decided not to
Still, I prefer to have been offered twice than not at all...!
Re: The Covid thread incl a poll - robbo - 20-03-21
If you booked via the NHS, do they make appointments for you for both jabs, or just the first. My appt was booked via my GP and have no 2nd jab date. Whereas most people I've spoken to who booked via the NHS, got both appts arranged.

Yes, that's what happened in my case. Got both dates arranged on the NHS Covid website

With the NHS I *had* to book both jabs.
This actually caused a slight issue as, after I'd booked my first one, there wasn't a second one available in the 12 week window, so I had to change the first slot and then it was ok :thumbup
