Michael W Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 6 minutes ago, charger29 said: So that's Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Sweden and Poland all recommending not to give the Aztrazeneca vaccine to the over 55/65s due to a lack of data. What was the reason for not including more people aged 65+ in the trials? Given that's where the vast majority of the deaths are coming from and the main aim is presumably to stop deaths it sees rather silly to only have 10% of trial participants above that age (and that's being very kind). The EU won't be needing all those AZ vaccines, then... Seems like there was an oversight on the trial and that's about it. They had 1 case in the control group and 1 case in the vaccinated group, so the data doesnt say much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that change is to ramp up the numbers which is good. This is going to pay for my new bathroom, the covid suite. Do you know what the story with administering the AZ vaccine is? Is it the same as Pfizer etc. where you talk folk through it, give them the shot then monitor them for anaphylaxis, or is it a bit quicker than that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The drop in cases per 100k seem to have plateaued which is a shame. With the restrictions we're under is this a sign that people have just got fed up and chucked it? Not having a go if that's the case but we were making good progress until this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 GP staff would be underutilised? 7 days a week is fine if we are rotating staff.With GP practices doing their normal work during the week, there is a real,danger of burn out if you expect them to work every weekend as well. Luckily, as we move down the age bracket, they will be less needed (although will have to do the same again for the second jags) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
