Vaccine (Good) News

[smalex]

A vaccine thread!

Think its just Teasel and me of Turtles, though only Teasel is certified to work.

Otherwise I know 2 or 3 hospital workers. And my sister might have had it.

Really hoping Ss nan gets hers, it really should be in the first few weeks

[Cerise]

My lovely fellow volunteer at Beavers has had hers. She’s 82.

[Bat Macdui]

Round up for the record, the two lovely nurses from my walking group who looked after me when I broke my wrist. My Mum's friend who is a biochemist.

So that's 7ish so far.

[Bat Macdui]

8ish, due to smal's inability to count.

[Derek Nimmo]

As per the covid thread, both my parents, my Dad's carer and one of my sisters. Hopefully a rolling tally becomes far too difficult to keep very quickly!

[bramblerose]

My daughter's had her first with the top up due on 11th Jan

[Rosa]

Figaro has had her first jab too!

[sally maclennane]

That's good news Bramble! I know of a couple of health care workers who have had it, plus my friend's Dad (over 80).

Smal, is yours in 2 doses too?

[Morganna]

My mum and my MIL have both had it. My mum is 86 and MIL is 96. Both have had first doses.

[smalex]

Figaro has had her first jab too!

Oh yes! Shes the first Turtle i think.

[smalex]

That's good news Bramble! I know of a couple of health care workers who have had it, plus my friend's Dad (over 80).

Smal, is yours in 2 doses too?

Yes. A booster in 21days.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I know a few doctors who’ve had it, and a mum from school.

[sally maclennane]

That's good news Bramble! I know of a couple of health care workers who have had it, plus my friend's Dad (over 80).

Smal, is yours in 2 doses too?

Yes. A booster in 21days.

Thank you

[Zoomer]

My cousin who's currently living in NY has had it. He's a paediatric doctor and his wife, a midwife, had a heart and lung transplant a few years ago, so is extremely vulnerable.

[kiwi]

There was mention on the news of not giving the second dose until 12 weeks after so that more people can have the first dose earlier. I don't know how that affects its efectiveness?

[Ruby]

Apparently not. Unless some massive events disrupts trade routes and they can't get the second doses imported. Tony Blair suggesting it a couple of days ago and was roundly abused by all sides of the political spectrum.

[Derek Nimmo]

AZ seem to be welcoming that news kiwi, but Pfizer are saying they don't have the data to support a wider gap so I'm not sure really. Let's hope the government aren't, for once, going for optics rather than effectiveness.

[Ismee]

I've mentioned this everywhere but my Dad got the first jab today.

He retired but took on a part time job delivering medication for the local chemist at the start of the year. All of their staff received their first dose this afternoon.

[Dáire]

Pfizer do not seem keen.

Trust the UK to fuck up something as simple as two doses. Get your ineffective jab here.

[Ruby]

Oh bless him, Ism.
