I'll put this here as it's more widely read than the vaccine thread.

I've just updated the MyGP app as I've read that from Monday it will show your vaccination status once you have had both shots. There is a new section at the top of the first page called MyGP TICKet that does exactly that. I had my second shot on the 3rd and it won't show mine yet though. This might be because it takes 10 days before you are classed as 'fully baked' or maybe it will be from Monday, the official start date.

This will definitely be useful for foreign holidays soon and maybe for things like large events once everyone has been offered a vaccine.

It is also on the NHS app too. Would have thought that would be the go to app for the authorities.

looking at officially recorded data only, in England only;

there are 1,288,186 covid cases < 30 yrs.
there are 231 covid deaths < 30 yrs

this means the IFR on known cases is ~0.018 %

known cases is surely nowhere near the real cases, especially in the younger population. I would bet it's double at the very least.

a 'positive' that predominantly younger folks are getting it is that it translates into far less deaths further down the line, with zero vaccination.

(upping that to < 40 yrs = 0.04%. Again only recorded cases, which will be a large under estimate.)

Using even that admittedly rough and ready IFR of 0.02 % you'd need more than half a million cases in the younger population to produce a 100 deaths a day. Half a million a day. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Good to see vaccination, particularly first doses, going up sharply again today.

Vaccination info is tucked away in that app as it was on MyGP app until this update. Now it is the first thing on MyGP.

Edit: will look like this

MyGP TICKet - Google Search

www.google.com

2nd Edit: your do not get fully vaccinated status and a green tick until 12 days after your second shot.

Ah right. Looks good. Better than the NHS app.

The page on the NHS app that shows vaccination status is less than ideal as it is also possible to see other personal info.
 


I haven't checked his data but look at the Y axis label, and the dates on the bottom.

The indications are that the vaccines remain very effective against it so it will get dealt with.

In better news the epidemic in India has been falling significantly for a week now.
