COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[artfuldodger]

Cant be that hard to give this jab, ive had dozens in my time. I think most people could help out. im thinking of volunterring my time to help out if i can.

It isn't hard. I was talking about this with a nurse last might. Anyone could do it. The training lies in responding to an adverse reaction. But a half day training in anaphylactic shock would cover it.

Right ... give me some good news people..

with the roll out of more vaccines when do you predict a small sense of normality will begin again? How long will it take for the most vulnerable to be protected so the less so can ease up on restrictions ?

im not bothered about wearing masks, got used to that totally.
im talking pubs starting to open up again and such things

what time scales ? I can handle any news if i know an end point, but i struggle big time with the unknown

(ive dipped over xmas and need a lift and some light at the end of the tunnel)

We are back on track for having a much better quality of life by Easter.

Things will be back to normal in the Summer

It all depends how much we have of it and how fast we can roll it out. I think by Easter we might to see some positive changes but I think it’s pretty tough to put a definite timescale on it as there’s so many variables.

no fuck that - 8 weeks.

My in-laws in Macclesfield, similar ages to your parents were due to have theirs at the GP surgery last week but their appointments were cancelled as apparently a storage error ruined the entire batch. Less likely with the Oxford vaccine which looks like it will be available in the next few days, the only thing holding it back will be the logistics.

Saw that online we are in Northwich looks like GP's here don't have the facility for Pfizer storage and are holding out for Oxford (total assumption).

Hancock has just announced more areas will be moved into tier 4

Liverpool should be out of tier 2 before new year

How quickly does this vaccine offer protection? Is it not until the second jab 3 months later?

Anyone know if The Oxford vaccine is ok with people who have allergies? My other gran wasn’t able to have the pfizer one because of her allergy to penicillin. So hopefully the Oxford one will be ok?

Bump. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Two weeks after the first dose
