Covid - news and views

You can double check on the Vaccine booster card first, it will say which one along with the lot/batch number.

Yes it does say all that and it states Moderna. As long as she's protected that's all that matters but we'll get it sorted so that the record is correct for any possible future issues. 

Interesting report in the Independent about the AZ vaccine.  It seems to be suggesting it offers better long term protection than first thought. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/astrazeneca-oxford-europe-fears-b1982611.html

I haven't checked mine on the app so will have a look after reading your post!

The batch numbers don't match either.

We rang the number given, got straight through to a person on the 'data resolution team' and  gave them all the details they said this was not exactly common but it does happen a bit and they would contact us within 21 days. 

And they confirmed that a booster had been given which is all we need.

Haven't even looked at batch numbers. NHS app shows 3 lots of Pfizer so that's all I need to know really.

I take no notice of these surveys whatsoever. The Astra Zeneca vaccine's efficacy, as well as its safety, side effects, impact on older recipients and seemingly myriad other factors, has changed from good, not so good, bad, not so bad, with every report, survey and review that has been released since the autumn of 2020. It seems to me that all the vaccines have been broadly effective for all the people. I really think these reports are mainly for ensuring a stable share price.   

The use of the term "report" by me was in the sense of it being reported. As I understand it information given is based on actual data. Now whether that data has been peer reviewed I don't know. There does seem to have been a lot of negative publicity surrounding the AZ vaccination but I wonder how much of that is to do with the fact that AZ were offering the vaccine at a much lower price than all of its other competitors? I am sure we will learn more about the various vaccines as times go by but if the data around the AZ is confirmed it will good for us all.

My niece her husband and her daughter all now tested positive for Covid.

Thanks to her step son not doing a test and then lying about it to his Dad.

Step son visited for a few hours prior to Christmas, thankfully those of us that should have gone on Christmas day for dinner didn't go. One of which has cancer, 3 over 70s and little old me

We are all fine, having done LFTs a few times since and we've not been in contact with them.

My niece and her family are thankfully fully jabbed, her daughter showing no symptoms at all , OH not feeling great and niece has a banging headache, hopefully things won't get any worse.

Take care folks. 

My Home test kit arrived by Royal Mail tracked half an hour ago as we were having lunch,. As I could not get to an open test centre yesterday as they cancelled my appointment(no staff?), now have to do test and post at priority post box today, ,
