  • It makes me despair that some people including guys who should be informed didn't take up the opportunity to have the Vaccines which are our Friend and saviour.

    Unbelievable the mentality.

    Quite scary that people with both jabs are still getting sick to the point of oxygen

    45 million people, 87% of the population have had one jab, I wonder considering they’ve got huge numbers, and make up a 1/3 of the people on the planet, what the numbers of people jabbed in India and China are?
    India is a different proposition but we know that the Chinese manufactured Sino-Vac is pretty much useless against the Delta variant. 
    It might be good to temper the language about the Sinovac and its efficacy against Delta, purely because we will have posters on here who have done the right thing by stepping forward and having the Sinovac jab and could be concerned with adjectives like 'useless'.  It's probably true to say it's less effective against Delta than either AZ or Pfizer; and the efficacy of the J&J jab is equally unclear.  

    But it's also true to say that, if a booster jab is required, the Chinese authorities would have the capacity to roll it out very quickly.  For example, in Guangdong alone, more than 60 million doses were administered in a month.  That should make anyone who has done the right thing and had the Sinovac jab a bit more confidence. 
    I can see that there might be sensitivities here but it doesn’t alter the fact that the Sino-Vac vaccine is ineffective against Delta.

    At the risk of sounding like Trump, Shake n Vac may be more effective.
  • More than one third of Londoners have not had their first vaccine dose making it the area with the lowest uptake in England, latest figures show.

    The data from NHS England also shows 55% have not had a second dose. Across England, 88% of people have had a first dose and 68% the second.

    Figures also show the city has one of the lowest rates of Covid-19 cases, with 298 per 100,000.

    The data also shows:

    • 46% of Londoners aged 18-24 have had the first dose, compared with 57.4% across England.
    • The South West has the highest percentage of 18-24 year old's vaccinated, at 65%.
    • Across London boroughs, Bexley, Bromley, Richmond and Sutton have the highest percentage of residents who have had the first dose.
    • Kensington and Chelsea, Newham and Westminster have the lowest percentage of first doses administered.
    • More than 19,000 people have died from Covid in London, with 18 deaths in the past week.
    • It has one of the lowest death rates, with 175 per 100,000 people. The North West has the highest with 248.1 per 100,000.

    Number of people to have received Convid vaccination doses by area
  • Newham have started ‘walk in week’ today, where any one above 18 can get a first or second vaccine without booking. Hopefully that gives a boost to jabs being taken in the area. 

    Just over 200k people have a first vaccine so far in the borough (under 70%), with 118k double jabbed.

    You think some people will be going in without ID and getting jabs, just to sell them on the black market? 
    If people were handing out bottles of water, I'd get it.

    There's just something that makes me uneasy about being able to walk up, get a jab and have no record of having it done anywhere. There must be some people out there who have a needle fetish as well who might want 20 of them. A kind of jab crawl.

    Probably unfounded concerns, just seems strange to me.

    They are - I suspect - people with underlying health conditions - the vast majority on 2 jabs, who catch it, will feel a bit ill (like Adkins), but not end up in hospital

    Perhaps @PopIcon can update us on how he is feeling now, because I think he is a 2 jabber, but caught it and wasn’t feeling brilliant, but also not stupidly ill

    I always felt the best way to get as many people jabbed as quickly as possible was to simply offer 100 quid to everyone who turned up.

    The offer would be most attractive to the sort of people who can't be bothered and would have cost the country peanuts compared to what we've spent on the virus so far.

    But you'd obviously need a really go way to verify that people weren't getting multiple jabs!
  • I think a lot of GP practices are offering walk up vaccinations now. Worth checking.
    Heard from friends in Welling and Dartford that there GP practices are being quite forceful in getting people to come in for the second vaccine anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks after first vaccine. One friend has been getting either text or phone call every day for a week, they are only at 6 weeks since first. 
    GP practices will have to start rolling out flu jabs to the sick, lame, wheezy and ancient within a few weeks so need to clear their decks and keep the unvaccinated as far away from the vulnerable as possible.

    I think you might have put that slightly better than you have but the point stands.
  • Had my second jab done in London Lane. A while ago now mind, but just saw it on the above list.
  • People can't go anywhere from September in big crowds or nightclubs also you would think theme parks.If they have not been double jabbed.
  • Three million 18-30 people have not had a vaccine yet.

    They better get their first jab sorted ASAP if they want the second one done 8 weeks later (+ 14 days after that to be ok according to JVT ?) to get out and about from end-September

    I would be interested in any comments as my husband and I are both in this situation: two doses but caught covid. I probably caught it off him before we realised he had it (tests were negative 3 x). I am so up and down in the day with flu-like symptoms and have been told by friends to do as little as possible and rest, or risk long covid. Is that true or anecdotal or is there not enough evidence yet?
    Anyway, I am going to give in to it and totally rest whist isolating.

    Certainly don’t think a lot of rest is a bad idea but there isn’t enough data regarding long Covid for anything really.
