Ah I see, thanks for that. I spoke to my GP and they said I'm going to have to wait till the government says over 30's are good to go and book through the NHS site. If I want to get pfizer - is their anything in particular I should do or any centres/hospitals I should aim for?

It's pot luck I'm afraid, apart from steering clear of pharmacies. Even in my own centre I'm only confident about which vaccines I'll be using for the next week. But all 3 vaccines are very effective and very safe so I wouldn't over-think it, the goal is to stop you and those you care about from getting this horrific disease and all 3 vaccines do that extremely well.

As someone in his 40s who is still waiting for his letter, I would hope that if some areas have such an excess of supply that they are thinking of moving into the 30s, that supply is redirected to areas where supply is clearly shorter!

Why not? Seems very odd. Is Wales in the same coracle?

Don’t know on either point. Just a different way of organising things I guess.

So it looks like both Wales and Scotland offer the personal touch and will contact you by phone or mail. Genuinely surprised at that approach in this day and age.

And yet the approach seems to work: Wales has given at least one dose to 73.5% of its adult population, compared to 65.4% in England, and has fully vaccinated 30.5% (29.3% in England).

Are there any trials involving the jab and alcohol I could participate in? I am willing to travel. :)
There is no evidence that drinking alcohol after a Covid-19 vaccine interferes with how it works, the UK's medicines regulator has said. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) was responding to social media reports that people should abstain from drinking for up to two weeks after a vaccine. In January, advisers to the alcohol education charity Drinkaware, which is funded by the alcohol industry, said there was some evidence that drinking, especially regular heavy drinking, could interfere with the body's ability to build immunity in response to some vaccines. A spokeswoman for the MHRA said: "There is currently no evidence that drinking alcohol interferes with the efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccines. |
