I had mine on Monday. There have been no after-effects, except if I
press on the place where the needle went in it hurts slightly.

I had the Astra Zeneca vaccination 12 days ago, likewise no after effects,
only a slight entry discomfort.

They stopped saying, "You'll feel a little prick" years ago, dunno why.

She said, you will feel a little scratch, I said it's more like a prick.

How do we know that we are not some of the 15% for whom it doesn't work. The antibody test isn't being offered is it?

It's freely available. Well, freely is the wrong word. It's around
£100'ly available.

The efficacy depends on which vaccine you are given and how old you are.
The Government clearly does not care about the overs 80s who have only
had one dose. There is also the problem of different mutations.

In the case of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine, the two doses are
different to overcome the problem of the 1st dose in your body attacking
the 2nd dose as it appears. (AIUI the Russian on Radio 4 yesterday)

It doesn't not work like that. It is more luck of the draw.

The effect of the vaccine is to tip the scales against you catching it,
but it is a numbers game. It looks from current data that the AZ Oxford
vaccine reduces your chances of catching it by 50-60% and reduces your
risk of being hospitalised by a very much larger factor. So much so that
they are still trying to quantify it.

You need to see some vaccinated, then infected and hospitalised cases
before you can do the statistics on quite how effective it is at keeping
people from getting seriously ill with Covid.

At least one of the common antibody tests will not detect the vaccines
in use in the West since it targets a different part of the virus
protein shell. This means that they can tell if you have actually had
the real virus infection or the vaccine. Only the Chinese one and
possibly the Russian one use whole attenuated/crippled virus.

Lets say you have cancer. You know it will likely kill you if left
untreated. You are offered treatment with say a 70% success rate, based on
surviving 5 years plus. Do you turn it down and wait for a 100% successful
treatment?

There are no 15% for whom it doesn't work.

And if there was, you would know when you catch the virus.

You can pay for it yourself.

Heard it on the telly a few night ago when Romesh Rangawotshisname
had a jab. Probably done for the cameras though.
