cool, time to punch Arista with your 10 ton arm :laugh: In 3 weeks you will be strutting around ... it's a wonderful feeling

...:love:...first step to a fully vaccinated Annie...:flutter:...hopefully you’ll have no other side side effects than being a bit achy but the symptoms only generally last 24hr-ish anyway...

:love: thanks all

[Dementia sufferer, 74, gets two
AstraZeneca Covid jabs in 5 DAYS after
bungling medics wrongly invited her twice]


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...FIVE-DAYS.html

Not the best person to do an Error on.


[Grandmother, 74, got her first AstraZeneca
jab on January 23
But she then received another dose of
the same vaccine just five days later
Blunder was only spotted when she had
two jab cards at her third appointment
Grandmother, who was not named,
suffered no ill effects but family was furious
Scientists say there is 'no particular risk' from being
jabbed twice in five days]

how was that not picked up on screening when you attend your appt

Have you had your jab Arista?

it would have to be an unusual set of circumstances that led to it happening .... approximately 1 in 30 million chance of it happening at a guess :laugh:

:laugh:

wonder if she will need a booster :think:

if she has dementia, she would have had someone take her to her appointment you would have thought as well ...her family are furious though

she would also need to have 2 nhs numbers ... not impossible, but again, very unlikely

:oh: probably why Mr C waited so long to get his, she had two

Light at the end of the tunnel - Covid [vaccine news]
 

Maybe they should take the chance of doing some tests on a person who’s had a double dose all at once

Vaccination is open to over 40's from today

'Herd immunity', from a vaccine that doesnt stop you catching it, and 'reduces' the chance of passing it on but doesnt actually stop it?!

I mean, its great that other countries are starting to catch up, but..I feel stating the continent will be 'immune' is stretching the truth somewhat :laugh:

In less danger, for sure. Especially if the bulk of those high risk (preferably all but not always doable) have been vaccinated and are therefore 'safe' if they do catch it though.

Edit - My understanding of herd immunity was that X% of people cannot catch (and therefore pass on) a virus due to vaccination (or theoretically, natural immunity, though I think I read this has never happened yet?), so those who cannot be vaccinated, or arent for whatever reason...are unlikely to get it as most around them will be unable to give it to them in the first place. I may be understanding it wrong though

yes, the idea of herd immunity is that if the majority have anti bodies, the virus can't survive and therefore cant be passed on to someone else not immunised.

We need to be careful about terminology here. Vaccination will never stop you catching a virus, it just means a persons anti bodies attack it before it can take hold and replicate and cause subsequent damage and also it won't build up in a quantity large enough to pass it on. These things are never black and white, there is always a theoretical chance that something can be passed on, but the conditions for doing so become increasingly less likely.

Scientists can be very misleading with their studies. It was like when they said covid could survive on a surface for 10 days ... well yes, maybe under specific lab conditions thats true, but it's just not realistic in normal conditions.

I'm very positive about it now, the hospital stats show the vaccine is working, and thats good enough for me at the moment :laugh:

Oh for sure. its all good news really, the more vaccines get done. It was just..seeing herd immunity like that, struck me as..well wrong really!

So many I know are still trying to play down the obvious sucess of the vaccine with 'oh lockdown brought numbers down, vaccine maybe helped a bit but yay, lockdown!!!!''..often followed by 'I think we should stay in lockdown longer, just to be sure' as if...theres any need for further ****ing lockdown right now with numbers as they are. I mean, am not ruling out in the future, if a disaster happens. But to me, those cheering for lockdown to continue are just being hugely unrealistic and tbh quite selfish too..

Magical thinking also really. To convince yourself its the lockdown that brought the numbers down, despite the lockdown being relatively lax, and had been going on ages before the numbers actually started falling, and you could pretty much directly correlate the falls to rise in vaccination numbers :rolleyes:
