The plan here in Spain is to give all Secondary students the vaccine in September when they return to school. Makes sense and hopefully that way the schools will stay open and cases remain low.3

Just moved my 2nd vaccine (and my wife's) forward from 19th August to 29th July. A few friends have done the same.4

I'm sure I read somewhere that no second jabs should be given before 8 weeks.0

Eight weeks for mine, it's the minimum the system allows.ShootersHillGuru said:1 -
I don’t think you can actually move it to less than either weeks on the website. If you want it sooner than 8 weeks your only option is to rock up to a walk in clinic.ShootersHillGuru said:2 -

We now have over 45 million with the 1st jab and the 2nd jab will surely catch up in the coming weeks.
So at what point will herd immunity kick in.

We live with the flu in so much as there are annual jabs and plenty of days missed through illness and excess deaths. The question of course is "what is the alternative?" which is the same that applies here. Hopefully, there are lesson learned about hygiene and staying at home if you are ill.0

Covid-19 is a Corona virus. Flu is an influenza virus. Stating the obvious but not the same. Both are respiratory diseases but Corona viruses are more transmissible the influenza. An analysis of infection rates and outcomes indicates that COVID-19 is hazardous not only for the elderly but also for middle-aged adults, for whom a fatal COVID-19 infection is two orders of magnitude more likely than the annualized risk of a fatal automobile accident and far more dangerous than seasonal influenza.blackpool72 said:

It's really difficult to compare because they are obviously not the same thing and affect different age groups. But my rough estimate is that around 50 - 70 people end up in hospital every day and 5 - 6 of them die as a result of traffic accidents.
Currently around 5 - 10 times that number are suffering the same fate as a result of Covid.0 -

Whole family over the weekend have tested positive for covid
3 out of 4 of us have been double jabbed while my boy is only 14 so no jabs for him.
can say the experience is still not very pleasant only my daughter seems to escaped not really feeling to bad, all I’m saying you still don’t want to catch it even if your double jabbed and it keeps you out of hospital1 -

Im not too surprised though. I think between now and October pretty much every one of us is going to get exposed to the virus. Hope you are all well soon.

It’s almost 100% certain that it will be Delta. On 11th June it accounted for more than 90% of infections. Now it’s certainly up at or near 99%Justafan said:No how do you find out?0 - Sponsored links:

Yes, once you have had a full dose (usually two jabs), if you get it, the symptoms (if any) should be mild; you're very unlikely to be hospitalised; and very, very unlikely to die. You won't necessarily have symptoms if you get it. You will be infectious if you get it, whether you have symptoms or not.blackpool72 said:
No I fully understand that.Chizz said:
Being vaccinated doesn't provide complete immunity. A vaccinated person can become infected and pass it on. But vaccinated people (and previously infected people) have higher levels of immunity and are less likely to catch it and to pass it on.blackpool72 said:

We now have over 45 million with the 1st jab and the 2nd jab will surely catch up in the coming weeks.

Anyone know
So I believe about 85% Have had the 1st jab and the 2nd jab will catch up at some point.
So we could have herd immunity by the time winter arrives.
I think this is a positive or am I missing something.
So, in any population, the more people that are vaccinated, the higher the levels of herd immunity. But 100% vaccination does not mean 0% infection.
But once you have had both jabs even though you can catch it and pass it on the symptoms should be very mild.
Not having to go to hospital or need a ventilator so therefore the NHS should not get put under any more pressure that it can cope with.
So, you could get it and pass it on without ever knowing. You could have it and be in close contact with people whose vaccination status you don't know. And they might become infected, get symptoms, require hospitalisation, or die. Whether they've been vaccinated or not.
In short, there's no such thing as herd immunity as we think we know it.1 -
also all of us have minor coughs but fatigue,head aches and proper aching bones/muscles being main symptoms0

An awful lot of over 50s in London are still not vaccinated - seems a bizarre choice. If infection continues to spread quickly they're taking a massive risk.Chizz said:

Finally had my second vaccination today at a walk in pharmacy in Taunton. Praying I don’t have similar side effects this time.11

Had my 2nd jab today. It was originally booked for the end of July but I moved it earlier and then earlier still. Sort of regretted booking it for 8am the day after the final for Guys when I had no need to go into the office but the train was nice and empty and I was back home by 9.15.10
