My wife has her booking through for her 2nd Pfizer dose so I *assume* they still have stock for that, if they're sending out the appointments :think:

It's good that it stops severe illness and should offer a lot of peace of mind to vaccinated people in the short term, but longer term, if the vaccines only stop severe illness it's frankly a disaster.

Yes I have been thinking this too tbh. There will eventually be a varient that is totally vaccine resistant. Isn't something like that how the likes of MRSA and such started..and why doctors are reluctant to prescribe antibitotics, as all that will happen with overuse, is that it will mutate to find ways around the medication?

We realy need a vaccine that stops you getting it fullstop.

That said, they are doing the best with what they can.

Well I guess they wouldn't be giving first doses of Pfizer if they were short which was why I asked

Van Tam did coronavirus Q and A on Sky, he said the roll out should not be impacted by second doses and that the plan is realistic going forward but that there can be dips in supply

I'm having my jab tomorrow afternoon. Hoping to get the pfizer variety.

Looks like Germany are back pedalling on the Oxford vaccine with Merkel now telling citizens to accept it.

Macron should come out and apologise for his remarks and his disrespect to the scientists

The Oxford vaccine is good as well.
Both give good protection

In the recent study out of Scotland Pfizer came out below AZ in effectiveness 90% compared to 95%

Israel has now vaccinated 85% of its population

They set up vaccination centres in bars and clubs and offered younger vaccine hesitants a shot for a shot, what a great idea :laugh:
