The vaccines | vaxxed boosted unvaxxed? New poll

How's your immunity looking? Had covid - vote twice - vax status and then again for infection status

  • Vaxxed but no booster

  • Boostered

  • Still waiting in queue for first vaccine dose

  • Won't get vaxxed (unless I have to for travel/work etc)

  • Past infection with covid + I've been vaccinated

  • Past infection with covid - I've not been vaccinated


Results are only viewable after voting.
The room where I was supposed to wait for 15mins had about 30 seats and 60 people waiting in there, most of whom were unmasked. I really don't care about any of your opinions on whether you believe this place was safe based on what should have been adhered to and wasn't.
Wow. I agree with you. Any chance you could have waited outside?
 
In general heavy alcohol use does reduced your immune response, including from vaccines, but there is no specific data to suggest that a beer will do much of anything.
The first question is can he have just one beer or does one lead to more?
The second is can you not avoid alcohol for one or two days?
 
Just to add - the clinical trial I was on didn't tell us to avoid alcohol after getting the jabs. They did ask us to avoid hangovers, basically because that might have messed with our ability to identify side effects and adverse reactions.

I don't know if all trials followed the same idea, but if they did then some consumption is already baked into the efficacy stat :smirk:

Whilst it was crowded outside aswell, I could have done and in hindsight I definitely should have done. At the time I just wanted to get out as soon as possible.
 
Felt like poo yesterday, arm really sore and whole body aching. Felt exactly like a hangover. Feeling better now but still not 100%.
 
I can be quite a heavy drinker, especially on matchdays so I've decided no alcohol for at least a week.
 
I'm guessing you got AZ? The advice regarding waiting is different depending on what vaccine you receive.
If the poster doesn't mention the make of the vaccine, it's probably AZ.

It's only Pfizer and Moderna recipients who feel the need to show off about it.

It’s the new veganism. Seems like everyone on my road got vaccinated recently and you can’t exchange more than a couple of words with them before they tell you “got the jab last week… Pfizer
 
I had to wait for my first jab as I tested positive last month.

Have an appointment on Wednesday afternoon for my first jab. It's Pfizer.

I heard of a cousin that was due to get her pfizer jab and she was telling anyone that would listen that it was the Rolls Royce of vaccines.
A few hours after the jab she was panicking (as she does) cos she felt a little unwell and then got in this spiral of more panic, so much so that she phoned the ambulance. The medics told her she was fine and to relax.
That's the Rolls Royce for ya! :lol:

:lol: so should all of us who didn’t get the Rolls Royce start stressing

Do people like that ever feel embarrassment for this kind if nonsense?

My uncle is refusing to get vaccinated (Covishield which is basically AZ) because he only want's Pfizer or Moderna and the Indian media is claiming we'll be getting it in August-September (which is unlikely btw).

He had Covid a month ago so its not that big of a deal but my god this vaccine competition is beyond moronic.

We're not arrogant, just better.

I'm sitting in the doctors after getting the first AZ shot. I have to wait for 30 mins as I carry an epipen. I'm going to be the opposite and mention that I got AZ to try to slightly reduce the clotting hysteria.

Apparently if you get a bad headache and particularly gut ache 3 or 4 days after getting the AZ vaccine and paracetamol doesn't help, then get to emergency as fast as possible as with treatment the death rate is far lower than the average of 1 in a million. Which is very good news imo.

The reports say that clots have happened up to 20 days post vaccine. Is that people whose symptoms manifested early and carried on? Just trying to understand why you said 3-4 days.

Apparently that is when the vast majority of vaccine associated clots arise.

:lol: I think by early next year us plebs will be able to get the Rolls Royce vaccine - whether we should is another question.

It wouldn't surprise me if we all get a second vaccination next year that target variants even if (as is likely) immunity lasts longer than 1 year.

Wooohooo! Congrats
 
I haven't read anything in the media on the research for boosters. Do people here have views on it?

I have taken AZ. Would I need to continue with AZ or can I switch vaccines? Would Oxford be looking to find a way to eliminate the clot issue or is that not a simple task?
 
What’s the booking process for vaccines like?

I see it’s down to 36 now and I’m 34. If I tried to book would it reject my booking or would it just be questioned when I get there? I see that people have been successful booking before their age group in the past so I’m just wondering how that happens

Seems like you could get it, perhaps talking to someone on the phone might help. I doubt you'll be arrested for trying to get it 2 years under the limit.

I just don’t want to turn up and look like a dick to be honest
