    Let's hope it stays that way mate.. If it stops the symptoms we can't ask for much more.

    I have 48 hrs to go till I get the vaccine .
    So to prepare for any possible side effect have started drinking vodka and tonic ( with a tint of lime )
    I will keep you posted if I get any pre vaccine side effects

    I have family in Scandinavia, one of whom is a nurse in a care home.before receiving her vaccine she was told “no alcohol for 2 weeks beforehand & 4 weeks afterwards.” This is to make it most effective. I’ve seen advice here saying no alcohol 2 days before & 2 weeks after.
    I’ve seen various opinions & claims about this, but, to be on the safe side, I left my 87 yr old dad with only a few cans of beer, rather than his normal wine & whiskey, for 2 weeks after he had his.
    Just letting you know, take it or leave it

    Over 10 million vaccines given out, outstanding achievement and with the news that after 21 days from the first dose the vaccine appears to be 100% effective in preventing hospitalisations is it to much to hope that we are getting a little closer to beating it?

    No it isn't to much to hope for, given that the pre-published results from a continuation study with the Oxford vaccine show some fantastic news.

    It takes 21 days after a single standard dose of Oxford vaccine for the protection against severe Covid-19 to be achieved.

    The new study (in 18 - 55 year olds) shows that from 22 days right out to the 12 week mark, when the second dose is due, the Oxford Vaccine efficacy is 76% (59% - 86%).

    This is higher than that quoted in the Phase 3 trial, which reported an efficacy of 73% after one dose.


    The continuation study then goes on to show that after the second dose, efficacy was higher, but that it takes 12 weeks to achieve that maximum level of protection.

    From six weeks after the second dose a vaccine efficacy of 54.9%, (32.7% - 69.7%) is achieved.

    From twelve weeks after the second dose an efficacy of 82.4% (62.7% - 91.7%) is achieved.

    For comparison, the Phase 3 trial efficacy after the second dose was 70·4% (54·8% - 80·6%).

    At last we have the supporting data for a 12 week gap to the second dose of the Oxford vaccine. Plus we have the bonus of a higher vaccine efficacy figure!

    I just hope that there is similar work being undertaken for the Pfizer vaccine!

    it will be worth it we know what a hangover is like and can put up with that for 2 days surely, keep them masks on and wash your hands, i got vestubular in 1994 and have always been careful since, because that is a twat of a virus also like TB etc.

    (hopefully final for 1st jab) update:

    2 days of 'not quite feeling right' and worse than reaction to flu jab...so couple of days spent mainly feeling sorry for mesel wrapped up on the settee, better day today.

    worth it?... i say yes, it is.

    why? ... i have had over 60 years and taken a few knocks along the way, most recently the cardiac arrest and i honestly do not wish a damn virus to be the thing that takes me out...i also have no idea (like the majority of us) if i would simply be a 'carrier and spreader' but enjoy no symptoms myself, the thought of passing it to others and contributing to the death total is not summit i want to be part of so i see this as my contribution to saving lives.
