A text never came for me but just went online to book it and it was all sorted and it says “second dose” for clarity

Ah cool that's good to know, thanks both

The Emirates Stadium will open as a vaccine hub this weekend and get a free tour of the ground afterwards :

Is there a minimum time after your first jab before you can go to a walk in centre for your second dose?

I'm not worried but have a friend who is desperate to fly home and see her family but will probably need both doses to do so without isolating after. As it stands she won't get her second dose until September by which point summer is over, kids back in school etc

it was 11 weeks then they decided to accelerate for older age groups and made it 8 weeks, but i think younger age groups are still 11 weeks at the moment. That could easily change in the next week or 2 if they blast through everyone. I also think they will want all the 2nd jabs done and dusted before they then move on to boosters, so that will drive it too

it was only 4 weeks for pfizer very early on. AZ was always a much longer period. The explanation given at the time was that the longer the interval, the more effective it was. They also thought 1 jab was very effective against the alpha variant, but that doesnt hold true for the delta variant, so they collapsed the interval again

Thanks I thought that too but I wonder if they'd actually turn you away if you turned up to a walk in centre for your second jab after say 7/8 weeks

Netherlands vaccination numbers

15.2 million total of first, second dose out of population of 17 million

so those numbers aren't bad at all, probably right time that we eased most of our measures now

most/nearly all of elderly, risk group are either fully vaccinated or had at least one dose

also showing in our daily numbers with the new cases going down, and hospitalisations/ICU-ventilator decreasing more and more, and having had no new deaths twice in recent last few days


somewhat 10 million more or less have had their first dose

more or less 5 million fully vaccinated





also Pfizer, Moderna remain effective for more years, so people who were jabbed with either of those don't need to be jabbed next year possibly




now my question i had, when will you reach herd immunity and yes i still somehow believe in that, also what will happen to Covid in years to come, we see it at mutating quite a lot, that might be worrying but tbh it also shows how unstable it basically is, right or am i saying something gibberish now



as for winter, idk i like to remain optimistic that that will not be as awful, i'm not a fearmongering person either, i do think we need to head back into stricter measures near winter




i myself don't want the vaccine since i don't go to many places, i'll avoid the dentist (i checked and unwise to go there these times so i got a extra thorough electrical toothbrush recently bought online and i got mini-brushes which i use for between my teeth for any plaque or tartar)


i am not a anti-vaxxer at all, it is good that many people who do socialize take the vaccine, and i have respect for those people too, i already and still have respect for the covid measures either

and if i should go on holiday in own country, to bungalow park in veluwe, well i'll wear a face mask when going out



i just wanted to have this said, and off my shoulders, not that i'll be looked upon like some bad person for refusing the vaccine

Did anyone see the doctor who developed the vaccination, at Wimbledon yesterday? They announced who she was and the whole place stood and applauded. Nice to see a standing ovation for someone who's made such a massive contribution.

[bots]

yes, it was great to see

[user104658]

That's cos Wimbledon is classy, if you did it at an NFL game in the US she'd have been strung up by Redhats screaming about 5G.

LOL... sad but true, TS...

Netherlands: Vaccines also available for the 12 to 17 year olds, health minister Hugo de Jonge wrote this to parliament, based on the advice of the RIVM

this friday the youth who are born in 2004 can make appointments to get vaccinated


RIVM advised to use the Pfizer/BioNTech for those between 12 and 18 whom want that themselves

Spain are asking for paper copies of vaccination certificates

Ordered ours as I think the 5 day turnaround will turn into 5 weeks when people start travelling again

British holidaymakers with trips booked to Malta have seen their plans thrown into chaos after the country announced it is not accepting the NHS app as proof of vaccination.

From Wednesday, travellers from the UK aged 12 and above are only permitted to enter Malta if they have had both doses of a coronavirus vaccine.

But authorities in the central Mediterranean archipelago revealed on Monday that they will only accept printed letters sent by the NHS as proof.

That means tourists planning to use the NHS app to demonstrate their status face being turned away at UK airports or the border in Malta, even if they are fully vaccinated.

To request an NHS vaccine letter, you have to fill out a form online, which you can only do two weeks after your second jab.

The UK Government's website states that letters then take 'up to five working days' to be delivered.

im not going abroad until it settles down and there is certainty in travel. That's unlikely to be this year

You can access Spain now as long as you are vaccinated with no testing required, as soon as it's the same coming back we are off!

How far away is this bloody light? I think everytime this thread is bumped.

Things are pretty normal from my point of view apart from travel
