Yeah I get my Pfizer jab tomorrow providing they don’t cancel again ( it was scheduled for last Tuesday) ..

Just dreading having a reaction .. a couple of people have apparently had shingles after the jab and I was in hospital for 5 days a few years ago with shingles after an allergic reaction and it was absolutely dreadful.

Well, I certainly hope it goes well for your, Zizu. I'm a bit nervous cause it's been a while since I had a vaccine, but I'm sure I’ll be fine.

Let us know how it goes

You will hopefully feel a little more reassured once you've had the jab. Let us know how you get on

What are the overall findings?

The Israeli study found an 85 per cent reduction in symptomatic Covid-19 within 15 to 28 days with an overall reduction of infections, including asymptomatic cases detected by testing, of 75 per cent.

One dose of vaccine against Covid-19 in Scotland has cut hospital admissions by more than 85 per cent, according to the first data published on the impact of the UK programme. By the fourth week after receiving the initial dose, the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines had reduced risk of hospitalisation by up to 85 per cent and 94 per cent respectively.

no wait, is this based upon ICU numbers? or what is this based on anyway? because if it is then it doesn't say much since all vaccines are effective to lower chance of you ending on a ICU bed


how many of the vaccinated people had side effects, how many of those had mild side effects, and how many had severe side effects? that is just what i look more at

its based on the over 80s who have had their first jab

LIVE on Sky News this morning -


Matt Hancock was asked why there were only 116,000 vaccines administered yesterday when the average figure of late has been 600,000 !!

He said it’s going to be a ‘quieter’ week but we should have some ‘bumper’ figures in the coming weeks ..

It sounds like there is/was a shortage of vaccines as was muted in the media and would explain why my vaccine was cancelled last week and delayed until tonight ..

...oh yeah, I don’t know which area you are, but they said that in our area as well, that there was a shortage ...but that was at a time when I knew lots of people having them within a few days of each other...so hmmmmm, maybe it was more that individual surgeries and centres may have been more the thing...and either doing them more quickly or even having a delayed supply for whatever reason...we just won’t know exactly, I guess...but I’m glad that you have yours scheduled now again, Zizu...such a relief, eh....

We're starting to approach 12 weeks since the first doses started being given which means they now have to start the second dose rollout alongside first doses; a process which requires MUCH more administration and organisation. It's not just any old bum in seat, needle in arm, away you go... dates and times need to be checked, the right vaccine has to be sourced, for AZ the dosage has to be double checked (as some people will be getting half, some full) ... it's inevitable that orchestrating second doses will slow down the whole process and this was always a wall they were going to hit at the three-month mark.


In good news - my wife got her appointment through today for her 2nd Pfizer dose and will be fully-vaxxed at the start of April . I won't get a sniff at a FIRST dose for months yet . Maybe if I do my make-up really nicely and wear a wig... I can sneak in with her ID and steal her 2nd dose??
