Mrs and I had our boosters a few weeks ago. Mrs had only a sore arm, I had the shivers, which is common, for about 6 hours but otherwise OK.
My 5G reception on my phone improved dramatically after my third shot... I've just had mild arm pain with each shot and it has got slightly less painful each time. I'm expecting this to be an annual shot now, just like flu... Although with Omicron being so mild, if it , and it's descendants stay the dominant variants maybe a shot won't be necessary in the future.
I know someone who had Pfizer and then AstraZeneca (by mistake, he said, because he didn't ask before getting it) - had nose bleeds for a week!
Is the Jansen (Johnson and Johnson) shot available in UK? Not as affective as the other shots by itself, but supposedly the J&J followed up by a booster of one of the others appears to be most effective combination. (Doesn't work other way around has to be J&J first).
It was approved for use here in May this year. The initial order was reduced, not sure why. I don't know anyone who's had it.
I wouldn't believe a word out of j&j after the multiple scandals that company has caused. The j&j on it's own is absolutely worthless on delta never mind the rest so I sincerely doubt the combination is anywhere near as good as a genuine dose of the real thing followed by a booster of pfizer. Personally I'll take the mrna vaccines all day
Just got back from taking the Mrs to the quacks (just needed a blood sample) and have had a text message from her physio to say she can't come tomorrow as she has had a positive lateral flow test
At least she's told you. A significant proportion of antigen tests have false negatives and positives so I hope she has 100% worn a proper mask at all times as well.
yes wears a mask and washes her hands when she arrives plus wears a disposable gown .Personally though considering the very close contact for an hour unless she is wearing full icu grade PPE not sure it makes much difference myself .
Who knows but if your ventilation is good the mask does make some difference. The stats on time and such for exposure and how long it takes to reach a saturation point or whatever youd call it are longer than the 15minutes. Hopefully anyway
Hence the ventilation comment. The 15minute rule.is set to determine close contacts and is arbitrary. Research has been one on levels of time, conditions in room and occupants etc so who knows
if the Mrs had caught it from the physio i would have expected some symptoms by now though it is possible .
