I won't bother with a booster. I don't see enough people to make any side effects worth it for me. Was pretty knocked out by my initial two.
28-11-2021, 08:18 PM
I'd take a third tomorrow if I could get it I got to skip the queue due to being higher risk in H1, now I'm back in my age cohort, so although it's been six months, I'll probably have to wait til the new year before they give me another one

I saw a guy trying to do that and he was intercepted pretty quickly and made sit.

I actually rather enjoyed my 15 minutes of sitting. It was nice to do absolutely nothing for a short time. I didn't even take out the phone or a book.
28-11-2021, 08:37 PM
I'm done with them. Part of me wishes I had waited longer to take the booster. The 3 of them knocked the stuffing out of me. Although I did get a lovely day off work on Thursday

I was considered at risk/ immunocompromised when I got the first two jabs due to health issues and treatments, but any remaining health issues now are not high risk for Covid and my immunocompromised status officially ceased in July by Covid vaccine rules! I'm struggling to get my general health and fitness back but no longer considered sickly! (Probably partly a rant for the happy thread, I'm working on it... )

I got the opposite...first two were per age group, last one was just under 5 months later citing 'immunocomp status'. ( My immuno status has not changed in the last few years ). Where are the 'walk in' vax centres that are reported to have been set up ?

Drove past Citywest on Saturday and cars were backed up well down the motorway, apparently some were waiting 5hrs for their jab. Didn't see anything written about yesterday so I presume they've sorted it out there

nobody is going to stop you, you don't need to sneak.
The 15 minutes is so that if you have any bad accute reaction to the injectin, you are near many professional health staff on hand who have epinepherine injections and dephibrilators etc close by to make sure you have the top care.
If you 'sneak' out, and hop on the dart or in your car and then have a bad reaction to the jab :eek:
edit: just read zaph saying they stopped someone.
The two times i've been in the aviva, its been fully self service from what I could see, nobody stopping anybody and everybody looking after themselves.
when i got the flu jab in work, both this year and last, it was the same, please stay in the office for 15 minutes after the jab just so if i have bad reaction, i'm close by the nurse and meds.

Woman caught it and her daughter caught it hubby is teacher and got daily PCR and didn't caught it in same house
Son same only three weeks later now has it and hubby got it off him as well. So is genetic resistance a thing, there was no isolation going on the malaw simply didn't catch the thing the first time and then caught a different version

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02261-8
Also and big also there is no peer review on any of this stuff its just pharma execs making sure that their product is sold after manufacture and the govts agreeing because of the panic that will happen whe those that got the shots realise they need bootees stat
The rules for the order that people were vaccinated was changes repeatedly as it's a balance of politics and public health statistics
All HSE staff that got az are being boosted as it's not working
What are they being boosted with?
Not bloody az that's for sure
In testing we take product and put it in storage in many many ways for very long time
In nice and cold in freezing cold in stupidly cold in room temp in warm and in uncomfortably warm and leave it and test it every month for literly decades
This cannot be accelerated there is no magic bullet buy in order to give it a years approval the absolute minimum time from production is 13 months and a day from production to 1.1 ish years testing to shipping
So any article stating efficiency in August for az has a maximum believable time of 1.1 times the time from the first time it was second shot into a test group of approx imatly 8 months and that was reported to teh waining immunity and that would be against alpha
Also what covid did you get If a person gets covind they are told by text this person aged that got test the other and it was positively returned for covid 19
Try to gibg and asking what you got
PCR is a genetic test they know what you got but they don't tell and if you ask they say they aren't sequence ing individual named samples but only by area to see what is there.
Look online at the American response They admit they know what you got but state they will not be telling you.
It's not a conspiracy I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this exercise in don't panic the proles is amazing to watch roll out.
I donld people in my office I was annoyed that my nct would be out and the queues would be huge when the nct shops rebopenwd
They asked when it was due When I told them in march 20 it was due next Jan they laughed at me a said that if it was that long and still an issue they would not able to cope.
I terestinh thing is both of them quut last December to mind their teenage kids who were turning ferral and they literly couldn't cope
