Question. Anyone up to now been offered the vaccine but refused and wont be having it? I dont mean for medical reasons. Just bot having it.
if so 2 questions..

1) what are your reasons?
2) whats your plan moving forward ? considering it looks like we’ll just live with covid , so without being jabbed you’ll always be at risk

For some it may be balance of risk. The risk of becoming poorly for a young fit whites female (sorry no pics) may be less than any potential side effects of the vaccine

I had AZ. Interestingly, there was a doubt that it would work because I take a heavy dose of immuno-suppressants. So, despite the discomfort, the reaction was welcome.

Had AZ on Wednesday not sure if it was a side effect but had a iffy stomach cold to touch and felt like I need the loo all the time yesterday, Fine now , so might just have been a chill.

I am on top whack of Prednisolone and Azathioprine (sp?).
Had the jab on Tuesday. Had no reaction at all, just a numb arm for about 24 hours.
 
Wales data:

22 deaths - 49 last week

400 cases - 675 last week

3.1% positivity

Weekly Pop Score goes under 100 to 99. Lower than even Trafford in GM.

It has fallen day by day from a point when it was pushing 500 after Christmas.

Swansea - that I used to track daily in here for a Blumooner was then having Pop Score rises of over 100 a day. It is now in single figures or about 10 or 11 at most.
 
Wales vaccination update:

Total first doses 749, 445 - 33, 501 yesterday - from 31, 847 day before

Total second doses 4224 - 214 yesterday - from 215 day before

The side affects are so minimal it’s hard to see how any adult would lose out from taking the vaccine.

The peole reluctant to take the virus seem to include BAME minorities who don’t use the main media and football lads alliance / herd immunity (without a vaccine) types.

I’m half Welsh, time for a short break ;-)
 
Just seen a discussion on Sky News with one of the professors who is on the Nervtag group. His view is more positive with regard to the lifting of restrictions once the first nine groups have been vaccinated. He also appeared to agree with Hancock's view that Covid will become more like flu in the future and that the majority who will succumb will in a group who are in the last twelve months of their life anyway.
He also said that the three week gap between the jab and protection is applicable to the over 80's. He is in the over 70's group and he believes that protection kicks in after two weeks for that group, which is logical if you think about it as the immune system for that group will be stronger.

Saw Devi Sridhar's opinion earlier this morning that this will be more like Measles than flu. If vaccines are successful it will be largely eliminated but for flare ups in rich countries with a continued struggle for the poor. She's followed that opinion up by suggesting if the vaccine trials on kids are successful then that's where we're headed.
 
An article on the Telegraph site details how the University of Nottingham and several UK companies are developing a 'universal' vaccine that will be effective against all mutations. This will work by targeting the core of the virus rather than the spikes. If successful it should take a year before it is available.

Had my jab yesterday......oh dear! Horrible reaction...headache, high temp, retching, general weakness. I dont want to put anybody off, but be prepared in case you react. I shall certainly go for the second jab and suffer for the good of all!

Had mine half an hour ago. Can certainly feel it doing it’s work.
