Covid Vaccine

[Seabag]

Had my Pfizer jab today. Tiny needle, nothing to worry about

No scab, but a little fatigued (mostly from the excitement build up) so early to bed.

I?m aiming to be 97% invincible

A reminder that after getting the vaccine, people should still socially distance, wear a mask etc, as it won't prevent you from catching the virus and potentially passing it on. The Gov should really be hammering this point home to people.

At Biden's inauguration last week, noticed quite a few people were 'double masking'...

Useful article by @j_g_allen on importance of face masks:

Homemade masks are 50% efficient

Blue surgical mask 60-80% efficient

For maximal protection use cloth mask over surgical mask 90% efficient

To be fair, it is unknown whether it will stop you passing it on or just reduce the severity of any illness should you catch the virus. I agree, though, that anyone who has had it ought not to abandon the regulations.

Just heard on CNN that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will only require one dose

On first read I thought this was a clever joke playing on Boris's name and the govt lengthening of the timing between doses....then I confirmed elsewhere that its a real story, which is exactly as it reads:)

im still sure there's a good joke in there somewhere!

Another issue is whether the existing vaccines will protect against all the new mutations, and in the case of some of the mutations, it seems - at the moment - probably not.

No relation to the above but having Hancock back again is almost a relief after Patel.

He likes a long chat.
