Elixir Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 2 hours ago, superbigal said: The country is swimming in AZ vaccine and this tiny safety concern should be optional as was originally intended. Get AZ walk ins and let the under 40s decide for themselves if they will take a shot of AZ. Would you take it ? That's what Wales have done. It is now looking very prudent as the AstraZeneca vaccine, while still as effective as the others, takes longer for immunity to build. The Pfizer and Modern doses they are now firing out take less time for initial immunity to build - especially in the younger cohorts who are now receiving them. This all adds up, especially when it's a race against the virus and if the 'Indian variant' is indeed more easily transmitted. Clearly you can see how this extra ~8% of first doses in those most likely to spread it is helping them crush outbreaks. Also, both Wales and Israel have the 'Indian variant'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Injected with creamy Pfizer goodness this morning out at Ingilston. In and out in around 30 minutes. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 'Wait for your blue envelope.' 'Get on the phone to them.' These are phrases that have no place in an optimal public health rollout, in a developed country, in fucking 2021. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there should be pop up vaccination centres the length and breadth of Scotland, getting the Pfizery goodness fired into peoples veins. I'm just off the phone to my GP practice and was told they're 'finishing the 40 to 50 year olds this week'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 That's my wife (30) got her appointment through for 2 weeks yesterday. NHS Tayside obviously getting towards the end. I'm 29, so hopefully mine will come through shortly, as I've not heard anything about walk-ins happening here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Ravenscraig for me tonight. The only reason I got mine (37) was by badgering them after registering as an unpaid carer almost 2 months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Early 30s here and my first jab is on Friday. Anecdotally seems they must be firing them out at a cracking rate in the 30-40s just now which is great news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Marshmallo said: You seen this brother? I'm not a school teacher, but a university lecturer. Over the last year the move to online/hybrid teaching has really increased our workload and stress levels. I know that online is inherently inferior to face-to-face teaching but I (like my colleagues) am absolutely shattered by it. And my teaching load is tiny compared to a school teacher's one. I can only imagine that they're marking the days to the summer break. So for me, not surprised at all at anything suggesting that they work more on top of what they already have done. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 10th of June for this 32 year olds first jag. A late afternoon appointment means I'm looking good for an early finish and a quick pint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are effectively statisticians. Statistics is a science, a boring one for boring people, but a science nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
