NZ now making vaccine more or less mandatory or risk losing your job.
Border workers have until the end of April to be vaccinated before being moved to lower risk roles, the prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, has said after a third worker from Auckland’s Grand Millenium managed isolation facility tested positive for Covid-19.
“We want everyone to be vaccinated on our frontline,” she told TVNZ’s Breakfast on Monday.
“From Monday through until the end of April, that becomes the final window where if people are not vaccinated in that period of time then they are redeployed, they are moved on. And that was always the point we had to get to.”

China's top disease control official has said the efficacy of the country's Covid vaccines is low, in a rare admission of weakness.
In a press conference, Gao Fu added that China was considering mixing vaccines as a way of boosting efficacy.
China has developed four different vaccines approved for public use, though some trials abroad had suggested efficacy as low as 50%.

Maybe they are running out of older or unhealthy people in your area because they’ve all been jabbed already. Or might want you as a healthy person for statistical reasons before we mass rollout vaccination of all the younger adult generation. It was a no-brainier rolling it out to us older gits. We had to have it and if it went/goes wrong it will have a lesser long term impact on the economy. Get it wrong with a younger generation and it’s a different ball game.0 -
Hopefully the former (and I suspect it is), but happy to do my bit if it is the latter - maybe they want to check the efficacy in the charming, good looking and humble early 30s bracket now.letthegoodtimesroll said:hermann said:No idea why - I'm 32 with no health conditions - but I've been invited to get jabbed and am booked in for Sunday.

A quick YouTube search of “is Covid real” throws up enough fake conspiratorial clips to make you realise that there are a lot of cracked pots out there.1

My experience and that of everybody I’ve asked who’s had the second jab, is that even if there was a reaction at whatever level to their first jab, the reaction and/or discomfort from the second jab was less.4

That’s reassuring to read. I felt like crap for 12 hours after first jab and have my second on Sunday.seth plum said:My experience and that of everybody I’ve asked who’s had the second jab, is that even if there was a reaction at whatever level to their first jab, the reaction and/or discomfort from the second jab was less.3 -

Now I had my first AZ jab on Good Friday.
I had absolutely no side effects but hubby was very bad (full on flu symptoms) but then he always suffers after vaccinations.
But what has really really interested me is that a severe pain I have had in my left knee for months has quite literally disappeared overnight 😳
Now it could be a complete coincidence. I was convinced it was the onset of something serious and was going to ask for a bone density scan. Maybe it was just severe inflammation and after time has gone 🤷♀️Spooky nonetheless.
Annoyingly today the Irish government has suspended all AZ vaccines. They have decided to cease giving it to people under 60. I have been informed I will still get my second dose of AZ even though I’m only 51. I’m relieved about that tbh.
So the Irish will miss their target for immunisations, quel surprise 🙄0 -
I had my second AZ jab last week. I had almost no side effects after the first jab, only slight joint pain which might have been my arthritis. After the second jab I felt extremely tired for the rest of the day and most of the next as well, but no other side effects.seth plum said:My experience and that of everybody I’ve asked who’s had the second jab, is that even if there was a reaction at whatever level to their first jab, the reaction and/or discomfort from the second jab was less.3 -
Having my second jab this afternoon, it's the Astra Zenica for me, happy to get this far and not expecting any side effects.6

We had our second Moderna jabs out here on Saturday. Neither of us had any negative side effects after the first jab, other than sore arms. We were warned at the vaccination centre that the second jab could lead to side effects of fever, shivers and shakes and general fatigue. We are both over 70, and my wife has nothing more than a sore arm from a poorly aimed needle. I feel like I've had the flu for three days and am still not quite100%.seth plum said:My experience and that of everybody I’ve asked who’s had the second jab, is that even if there was a reaction at whatever level to their first jab, the reaction and/or discomfort from the second jab was less.
Our experience doesn't really give an answer to anything, other than to say that each individual will probably react in a different way to the various vaccines. I'm still extremely glad that we got the second jab, however, despite the unpleasant side effects.
