I didn't get any such "little card" they recorded everything via tablet and I assume it's all an automated system for getting 2nd appointment sent out etc... y'know cos it's the 21st century...

BUT how will I prove that I am a brave boy??

I got nothing at all! My butt barely touched the seat, got asked a couple of questions, given a leaflet about the vaccine, needle in arm, told to bugger off and that I'd be contacted about 2nd dose . She did say "well done" but not that I had been brave, so I guess I'll just never know.

We’re moving from Level 4 to Level 3 here in Wales from Saturday with tourism opening up (self contained accommodation like caravans or hotels with en-suite and room service) just for people living in Wales.

Also the 5 mile rule is dropped and we can go anywhere within Wales.

Feels amazing, finally. Just to be able to go somewhere different even if for an hour or so.

New data suggests strong protection for 99% after one vaccine dose

A single dose of the Pfizer gave strong protection to 99% people in a new study, it has been revealed.

The figure applies to 237 health workers who formed part of research carried out by Sheffield and Oxford Universities.

Results of the PITCH study have been presented as a vindication of the policy to delay second doses so as to provide protection to as many higher-risk groups as possible by providing more first jabs.

The research also concluded that people who had previously been infected with COVID-19 infections had six times the immune response to one dose of the Pfizer jab than those who had not had the virus.

Health Minister Lord Bethell said: "These findings from the PITCH study are crucial to increasing our understanding of the immune response to COVID-19 and how the Pfizer vaccine is working to protect people across the UK already."

What’s the deal with over 70’s ( so far ) being given a third Covid 19 jab in September- to boost their immunity !?!?

After just 6 or 7 months they need boosting ?

Where does that leave the rest of us under 70s ??

I thought the first jab gave around 70%+ and more or less ensure you won’t die or need ventilation then the second jab pushed up the % to 85 or 90% - until next year ??

I’m confused ..



Edit

Sky News discussing this now ..

The suggestion is that the government are expecting/preparing for a THIRD wave in September ..

France currently getting 42,000 new cases per day , Germany 22,000 .

I think it's better to be prepared.
If they offered me a booster jab i'd take it.
Don't want to get sick.

Same

the booster will be available from September, which is surely a good thing, no?

It means that if there are any new strains that the current vaccine is not giving good protection, then it boosts the protection.

This is a good thing

The UK government is planning to offer 3.7 million Covid jabs to the Republic, in part to help lift the lockdown in Northern Ireland, which could raise tensions with the European Union.

It would be the first time the UK has exported vaccines to the EU, but the plan was described by a British cabinet minister as a “poke in the eye for Brussels” because it could disrupt EU unity.

Republic doesn't need that many jabs, and UK should first take care of its own, since not all british people have been vaccinated yet, so Boris bad move this, be more selfish and take care of all of your own public first
