Can't help but feel that is slightly optimistic but here's hoping... By when? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Lviv Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Sorry if this has been asked, but is the vaccine to only be administered in the arm? Ie are drug users who won’t have a vain in their arms allowed to get the jags elsewhere in their body (and would it work the same way?) Not that this affects me, obviously. The question popped up on one of my group chats. Edited January 16, 2021 by Karpaty Lviv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 A year ago today, Public Health England recommended that travellers to Wuhan wash their hands regularly and... avoid touching dead birds. Were people not avoiding this before the pandemic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt get injected directly into a vein so you can get jagged just like the rest of us in the upper part of your arm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only cranks are against the current lockdown but when we get to March there are going to be some major debates and the Devis of the world are going to be painting anyone who doesn't want to keep restrictions as an extremist. Almost nothing is being said about lifting restrictions or any strategy for the Spring onwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witty said yesterday that thing should be better by easing of restrictions by Spring, hardly insightful but I thought for someone who is always extremely cautious with his words that this was quite positive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclizine Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, superbigal said: Has anyone heard of this publicised in the UK ? Some care homes are using the extra dose contained in every vial of Pfizer vaccine to vaccinate the relatives of residents, according to the head of one home network. Since the vaccine was first rolled out, it has been known that a vial of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the first to be approved in the EU, contains six and sometimes even seven doses, instead of the five doses intended. Yeah, this is what our peer-to-peer staff vaccination teams have been doing. There's no guarantee they can always squeeze another dose out of the vial, so they don't rely on it, but if they have left over doses after the booked appointments, they go looking for unvaccinated staff and offer them a jag.
