Wales data:

0 deaths - was 2 last week

33 cases - was 53 last week

Lowest here in about 8 months.

0.7% positivity - was 0.9 % last week

Most cases today - all in single figures - 8 in Newport and 4 in Wrexham.

A friend of my wife’s was sent a link by someone to book her second jab and she was able to do so despite the fact that it was only seven weeks after her first. She pitched up at Irlam Lesisure Centre last week and they turned her away as it has to be eight weeks minimum.

Serves her right as she was only doing it to try to go abroad somewhere (anywhere) for a holiday.

Thank you. But if those dates in that post just above are right then that one is under 8 weeks not over it, unless my sums are wrong.

Ah, good, see it has been edited and was indeed under 8 weeks then.

I think the decision on the 12 week efficacy has obviously been moderated for all sorts of reasons based on the data as it has come in. Which is as it should be. We were largely flying blind in the early days.

How are you feeling now?

not great at all still mate but I am surely over the worst. Still in bed and can’t even walk to the loo.

Bed shitting? Sounds grim

so I am one of 6 percent who still ended up Ill after vaccine! I still can’t move now. Lay in bed feel like ran a marathon!

It’s even worse than that, in your age group it was around 3 in 100 needing hospital treatment, one dose reduces that by around 94%, so you’re actually in the 0.18% who ended up ill enough to require hospital treatment after a jab (rather than 6%).

Just thank your stars you already had a jab or it may have been much much worse.

fucking hell. I knew I would be ill if I got it as my breathing is so bad normally. I just cannot shake the tiredness off.

Almost a day on after the second AZ jab and I have had no after effects at all. Slightly sore arm but less so than with first one or annual flu jab and no excess tiredness as I had after the first for 12 hours or so. Most who have had their second AZ said much the same to me. But like me most of them are over 60. So it might be different if you are younger.

Clinical trials reported far less side effects for 2nd AZ compared to 1st. Of course, there will be exceptions.

I’ve had zero so far, having had a 3 day reaction to the first. My arm isn’t sore. I’m beginning to think that they missed.
