I agree. My partner, 25 years in the NHS, has just applied for a new job In Trafford. The job is assessing and advising new clients who have been referred to the hospital based drug and alcohol team. Starting September. They assumed the service would be face to face. But no. It’s working from...

Bolton west is less populated, more white and has an older demographic.

Their MP also commented that people were initially a 'bit reluctant' to take up the offer of a vaccine in Bolton. How reluctant?

Exactly. My mother died between jabs. She’s probably down as not attending.

Just up the road from me. I was wondering about the Grey Horse. Do you have to book?

My stepfather had his yesterday 10 weeks and 5 days after his first. My daughters was 11 weeks exactly. I think it varies.

Our friend died of lung cancer in hospital. But whilst in there he tested positive for COVID. So he counts as a COVID death.

I think the idea is that you can pick them up from a pharmacy or order them through the post. In our house we have 2 NHS workers and my daughter works in a school so we have more lateral flow tests than we know what to do with!!

So what happens over there? Just one case and immediate lockdown? And how’s the vaccination programme going.?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-56575733 Seems very odd.

Ah ok. I though you had to stay unblinded to continue. Yes, I’ve got the Novavax jab booked for April 1st. I could have had the NHS one by now, but wouldn’t have managed the 2nd dose before June. Whereas my second Novavax is April 22nd.

Because she asked, and they told her, she’s been unblinded. So I assume she’s left the trial now. I’ve chosen to stay unblinded but will stay on the trial for 3 years. Either way, I’ll be vaccinated by the end of April.

I don’t know what I’ve had. On April 1st I’ll have a jab of either the placebo or the real thing, depending on what I had in September. But I’ll never know which was which.You only get unblinded if you leave the trial.

Getting the Novavax jab on April 1st. And second one April 22nd. Ive been on the trial for 6 months. I assume it will be more widely available soon.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56375307 Interesting that the young and those who have had COVID have worse side effects.

On the Novavax trial, they’ve had to amend the normal, acceptable blood pressure readings, as they were finding everyone on the trial had high blood pressure on injection day. A combination of anxiety, white coat syndrome, unfamiliarity.

Why would you? And then post it on social media. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-56262712

If I’d put a million dollars towards a vaccine, I might give it a bit of a plug!

I agree. It’s difficult to recruit carers and it’s not a job many want to do. My mother is receiving end of life care at home and we have carers 4 times per day. I would struggle to do some of tasks they do, with my own mother, never mind with strangers. I marvel at their dedication every day. I...
