faraway saint Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 A doctor on BBC just reiterating that he current blood clot panic is baffling. The numbers who have had blood clots is lower than the number in the general public. "Over cautious" was her verdict on the current reaction from European countries.

RichardBuddie Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Seemingly the first "blip" in the availability of the vaccine. Could cause a delay in the next month for the next group who are due their first jag. Paralysed says one headline.......... Covid vaccine supply shortage to paralyse UK rollout Manufacturing problems will mean sharp slowdown in April, as EU threatens to block exports of Pfizer jab to Britain Then again, conflicting news from vaccination producers................ Drugs giants Pfizer and AstraZeneca have rejected an NHS claim that the UK is facing a COVID-19 vaccine shortage, insisting there is no threat to supplies. The two leading vaccine manufacturers both said they remain on course to meet their delivery commitments and denied they were facing disruption in supplies. Their defiant statements appeared to contradict a letter to vaccination centres from NHS England warning there will be a "significant reduction" in supplies next month. Hope they don't run out before tomorrow. I did see that in the news last night but noted they would honour the jag to anyone that has a planned appointment.I’m always a wee bit sceptical about these things and do wonder if it’s actually down to manufacturing (rather than say politics of some sort), as it would have (or should) have been known weeks ago that this shortage would occur.

I heard on the radio yesterday almost 2 million in Scotland, that's some going. Why is it a surprise that the rollout is going well? I was sharing a desk with a vaccinator back in December when the first mobilisation meetings took place and overheard the discussions. In 4o years of work this was THE most professional, organised and motivational discussion I have had the good fortune to hear. Highly talented people, well organised, free from political interference raring to go, So what's the surprise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said to them, ‘If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem’. She added to them, they forfeit the right to complain about lockdown/ shops/bars closed , kids being home schooled on that basis. Just about sums it up I guess. Sums up what ?

She came up to me and said “I don’t care if it’s your turn or not, I’m taking you now!”. She was from Glenburn and a massive buddies fan. She saw my Buds snood and took me straight away. 🤣 What were the chances of that in St. Helier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I had a very interesting/worrying discussion with a Polish guy in my work during the week. He had been in hospital just before Christmas with a mild asthma attack and, after being stabilised, was offered the Covid vaccine. A very firm "no"....................I asked him why..................."Very bad, you don't know what it will do to you" I said bit Covid could kill you, he wasn't convinced Covid was real. Him, and his family, were not going to have the vaccine. With Europe talking about further waves I wonder how much of the spread is down to people not being willing to have the vaccine?

faraway saint Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Over half the adult population in the UK have had their first jag.

Cumbriansaint72 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I only had a bit of a bad head and arm a little sore for a couple of days but if it means we all get back to sort of normal so be it. Anti vac people should be given a big bell to walk about with imo, shows how much you think about others😡 As for EU, if AstraZeneca vaccine had been EU wholly developed then it would have been best thing since sliced bread just another childish political battle over brexit I'm afraid and will cost them in lives and in an economic sense, thank god we got out. And I at time of vote was a remainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) 31st of March for me. Having spoken to a few mates across Scotland, we're at the mid-fifties just now. My brother who is a couple of years younger gets his mid-April. So looks like Fifty year olds should be by end of April, If supplies hold up.

My parents, both in late 70's , had no side effects whatsoever. Hoping the non-wimpy genes haven't skipped a generation. Never had a problem with getting inoculations or getting blood taken.
