When are you due to get the Vaccine?

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Zebedee, Jan 4, 2021.

  1. With talk of airlines, ferry companies, cinemas and sports arenas thinking of requiring you to show you've been vaccinated it got me thinking (dangerous i know :p) when will the mass roll out of vaccines make it down to the general populus under 55 with no health problems.

    Saw this online vaccine queue calculator on yahoos news website.

    Chucked my details in and it seems like its gonna be a long wait. Between 19/01/2022 and 02/07/2022. :eek:

    That's a bit depressing. At 62 I thought I'd be sometime by Easter. This says July to Sept :(
     
  3. I imagine we will get the vaccine when all the Tories and there cronies have had theirs!

    I'll be getting mine after I'm retired and scrimping off my pension. I'm 48 and work in an FE college. I'll just try and keep myself Sade till then.

  5. Two age 80+ neighbours have had theirs and a friend's grandson age 18 has had the vaccination as he works in a care home where all patients and staff are vaccinated.

  6. My missus is on the clinically extremely vulnerable list so will apparently get it in a month or so and my inlaws (and who i see a couple of times a week to help them out) are both over 80 and on the clinically vulnerable are list so get theirs this month.

  7. That is to get both your doses so it'll be about 3 months before that for your first dose which gives you a good level of antibodies .. to be positive about it..

    According to that, being 55+ with no health conditions I’ll be waiting until 21/10/21-04/12/21 as there are 20 million ahead of me.
    It doesn’t even make sense when that calculator says 1 million per week which would put me 20 weeks away, which should mean from June onwards. On the news they’re saying 2 million a week and suggesting spring, so who knows.
    I’m just glad that my mum, at 87, had her first Pfizer jab last week, but whether she gets her second one in two weeks time is unclear now.

    I suspect that calculator isn’t up to date with the latest vaccine availability.

  9. I imagine that this is pretty sensitive to the number of weekly jabs given. They calculate based on 1 million per week, current plans are 2 million per week by late Jan.
    AstraZeneca say that they can deliver these volumes, I guess the key factor is can they be utilised?
    The extended delay between jabs would also probably affect it.

    How very dare you!

    I appreciate that 42% of England will vote Tory whatever they do - I doubt anything this government do might change that, but lets have a look at what the Minister in charge of Vaccines has been up to - oops, I mean is his wife and kids.

    Formed a 'property' Ltd company start of June 2020. Changed the name of it to that seen bellow end June 2020.

    Why would a director of a company, that has nothing to do with anything medical suddenly rename a company they literally formed 3 weeks before to medical, and of course, remove the Zahawi name?


    I suspect the delay in the vaccine role out is pretty simple - our esteemed leaders are:

    Launching another landgrab for personal data - which btw is the reason the Track and Trace system is such a POS, because everyone else's didn't harvest huge amounts of irrelevant, yet valuable data.

    And/Or

    Forming 'middle man' companies where no doubt things like freezers, vials, syringes and possible the vaccines themselves will be bought from the supplier and resold to the NHS with a decent mark up.

    The manufacturers - you know, the clever people that actually make the stuff - state the delay between 1st and 2nd dose we are now seeing is untested. So why is the delay in place?


    If only it was a case of Tory friends and family first - oh yeah - Rupert Murdoch, that friend to all things fair, got his on the NHS a couple of weeks ago.

    Reassuring that foreign national multi billionaires are getting jabs before YOUR friends and relatives, and before our front line workers.

    Anyway - here's one for a litmus test later, a Belgian EU minister tweeted what the EU are paying for vaccines:

    • Oxford/AstraZeneca: €1.78 (£1.61).

    • Johnson & Johnson: $8.50 (£6.30).

    • Sanofi/GSK: €7.56.

    • Pfizer/BioNTech: €12.

    • CureVac: €10.

    • Moderna: $18.
    I'd love to know what we are paying - but that info won't be released.


    Remember, we are all in this together - apparently, some of us are hiding our life jackets.

  11. Realistically I have a higher chance dying driving my Campervan, so no thanks to the vaccines.

    If they’ve got any sense they’ll push teachers up the list as has been suggested.

    Where did you get this information from please Zeb?
     
  14. Ignoring the political side of things AstraZeneca have said they will provide it at cost. Their MD, Pascal Soirot, has also said that there is a paper nearing approval that will say their efficacy is at the same level as Pfizer. So it is not currently untested, it's being approved, which is more than just a ticking exercise. I believe that this is due to delaying the second jab, at least that's the view of a real expert rather than someone in the media who is trying to maximise their clicks.

  15. It was one of the articles on yahoos site a few days back. I'll see if can dig it up again. Can't see it coming to much though as i can't see companies wanting to loose out by not allowing 1/2 the population (or more) access.

  16. By choice I wouldn't have given him the jab but who would decide the exceptions to the rules.
    That's a really slippery slope....
