I was trying to copy the graph (and failing obviously) but I added an edit, as it looks like the drop in cases after the vaccine roll out, is consistent across all groups, including the non-vaccinated, which confused me. EDIT: I've managed it now (I think)
Here's the link to the NHS guidance: https://www.sps.nhs.uk/articles/pri...nts-and-suitability-for-covid-19-vaccination/ And on Pfizer specifically: https://www.sps.nhs.uk/articles/adv...ability-for-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccine/ hope that helps. the MHRA has advised that those with allergies, including anaphylaxis, to a food, medicine, vaccine or insect sting can receive any COVID-19 vaccine, as long as they are not known to be allergic to any component (excipient) of the vaccine. I had an allergic reaction to penicillin so I was looking for info on whether or not I could get the vaccine when my turn comes.
Good You’ll get asked about allergies anyway My info, which has obviously now changed, was a relative who was written to by NHS to be told he couldn't have it.
It's not really that surprising. It was realised at a very early stage that those people who died often suffered multiple organ failure which seemed to be resulting from a heightened auto-immune response. There are quite a number of very nasty autoimmune conditions where a similar over-stimulation has been "switched on" but failed to "switch off" and, as a result, the cells which usually help to fight disease turn against the victim's own body - examples include Psoriasis, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Unfortunately these are currently incurable but can be treated by supressing the troublesome immune response. In recent years the group of drugs used include the so-called monoclonal biologics such as Infliximab, Adalimumar, Azathroprine and, I assume, Tocilizumab. I discussed this with my son (who has monthly infusions of Infliximab) early in the pandemic when he was listed as being at particularly high risk of Covid and was naturally concerned. We came to the conclusion that the fact that he was immunosupressed might increase his chances of contracting Covid but that the nature of his treatment would greatly reduce the chances of him suffering severe symptoms. Of course this does raise some queries about the effect of vaccination - the resulting stimulation of circulating antibodies might not cause him problems but any increase in T-cell activity might cause some worsening of his underlying chronic disease. Either way, he was vaccinated using the Pfizer vaccine a couple of weeks ago and, despite feeling pretty rotten for 36 hours (flu-like aches and pains) he has not noticed any other ill effects.
You're taking a huge risk coming on here with having a nut allergy! I had my jab earlier, the Oxford one, and as yet no obvious side effects.
Jurgen klopps mum has passed away. He isn’t allowed to attend his mums funeral due to covid restrictions. but is allowed to go to another country for a game of football worlds ****ed
