thanks - I was wondering how close to exactly 12 weeks they were sticking. I have to wait until June sometime.

12 weeks from today was Jan 15th, I think - so only 16 days since AZ was authorised.

If your first is via one of the big centres like the Etihad you usually seem to get your second date with the first on the little card they hand out to remind you when you had the first one and which type it was.

The smaller ones seem to leave that blank.

You do not have to go to the same place twice afaik and you might be able to get it a few days before or after the 12 weeks if choosing.

But I doubt they will want to be doing it more than a a few days either side of the 12 weeks unless there are medical reasons that prevent this. As that has been stated as the optimum time for efficacy.

That makes sense to me, I half expected them to aim for 11 weeks, to allow for a bit of slippage. I suppose that may have come in as the numbers increased, but it was easier (and more sensible) to give fixed dates in the early stages.

Where I got a first jab wasn't available for a second one as they weren't booking past April, but the website forced me to make a second booking when booking the first one - I've got one, but it's not easy to get to, so I'll see what happens come June. Certainly the second booking date choice wasn't limited to one specific day.

I agree that going much past the 12 weeks seems like a bad idea.

Some got a little sticker badge to tell the world you had been jabbed. I never got one of those too.

Mine was at a medical centre within the practice I am registered with so I guess they had all your records anyway.
 
Scottish data:

6 deaths - was 4 last week

285 cases - was 414 last week

1.6% - was 2.0% last week

168 patients - down 6 on the day - was 215 last week.

20 ventilated ICU - down 1 on day - was 21 last week
 


Interesting J&J jab using same technology as Az seeing the same blood clots, even still in miniscule numbers

Stands to reason, contribution of the spike protein vector to the overall structure of the drug substance is small and so logic says it's adenovirus related.
 
Northern Ireland data:

2 deaths - was 1 last week

113 cases - was 107 last week

6.0% positivity - was 5.2% last week

5 care home outbreaks - was 5 yesterday and 6 last week

7 day rolling cases total 553 - was 535 yesterday and 1054 last week.

99 patients - down 3 on day - was 112 last week

9 ventilated - same as yesterday and last week
 
Scotland vaccination data:

2, 625 577 first doses given - 16, 746 today - was 14, 899 yesterday & 22, 421 last week

524, 812 second doses given - 24, 436 today - was 21, 137 yesterday & 15, 478 last week

Good numbers today - total given up on both yesterday and last week
 
33 England hospital deaths more detail

By region:-

NE & Yorkshire 12, Midlands 5, London 4, North West 4. South East 4, East 2, South East 2

Most by trust:

4 Bradford, 2 Leeds.

Age ranges:

20 - 39 (2), 40 - 59 (4), 60 - 79 (9), 80 PLUS (18)


Last two weeks total deaths at 5 days:

Mar 21 - 27 :- 52 - 43 - 51 - 28 - 38 - 30 - 18

Mar 28 - Apr 3 :- 19 - 28 - 29 - 35 - 17 - 19

Apr 4 totals 17 at 5 days

Falls are slowing down as the numbers bottom out as is inevitable.

But we may get a single figure death total at 5 days in the next week or so.

With Apr 5 at 11 after 4 days.

Yep

Was expecting J&J to be offered to the under 30's later in summer though as it's a 1 shot, might rule that out.

Be interesting to see if there are any reports in US, they've been using J&J a lot haven't they?
 
England hospital deaths wk to wk :

307 / 106 NW / 35% (2% fall wk to wk)

174 / 40 NW / 23% ( 43% fall wk to wk)

132 / 20 NW / 15% (24% fall wk to wk)

74 / 14 NW / 19% (44% fall wk to wk)

43 / 15 NW / 35% (42% fall wk to wk)

43 / 8 NW / 19% ( 0 fall wk to wk)

33 / 4 NW / 12% (23% fall wk to wk) TODAY


The drop in the NW numbers - that often over reported on Friday is very noticeable and more consistent.

There's some literature on platelets and adenovirus interaction. "Thrombocytopenia has been consistently reported following the administration of adenoviral gene transfer vectors." !!!

HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY| DECEMBER 5, 2006
 
So the total deaths - with out of hospital England only to add is today 42.

Wk to wk:- 352 v 199 v 162 v 94 v 52 v 48 * (no Wales data) v 42 TODAY


And total cases from the 3 nations with England to come is today 512

Wk to wk:- 1130 v 894 v 1080 v 993 v 914 v 521 * (no Wales data) v 512 TODAY
 
GOING TO BE FUN IN THE CASE DATA TODAY

HERE IS WHAT THE GOV UK SITE SAYS!

Change to case reporting and revision to historical case data in England. The way cases are reported has changed. This has resulted in the removal of a number of previously reported cases in England. This affects newly reported cases on 9 April 2021. Regions and local authorities do not show the actual number of new cases reported. UK and England numbers of newly reported cases have been adjusted and correctly reflect new cases reported.
 
MORE DETAIL ON THE CHANGES FROM GOV UK RENDERING TODAY'S NUMBERS PRETTY MEANINGLESS

The way cases are reported has changed. Cases that have been identified through a positive rapid lateral flow test will be removed for people who took Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests within 3 days that were all negative. Cases of this type that were previously reported were removed from the cumulative total, reducing the total by 8,010. Newly reported numbers of cases for the UK and England were unaffected by the removal of these. Historic published date totals have not been changed.

Newly reported cases at regional and local authority level within England are calculated as the daily change in the total number of cases. This means that for 9 April 2021, these show significantly lower numbers or zero, and should not be considered as the actual number of new cases reported on that date.
 
Looks like a sensible idea that should have been thought of up front not weeks later and will from tomorrow settle down to normality.

But today render data rather misleading. If not useless.
