Worried that the military and NHS are on standby to deliver vaccines

[BurningRose]

Just heard this on the BBC news at 6.Does this mean the military will be injecting people? Will it be mandatory for certain groups? This is rather worrying.

No you’re not immune. Immunity wears off. The Government has clearly stated the vaccine will be by choice. The military will deal with logistics with perhaps some medics vaccinating.

Really lovely to see the majority of posters are more intelligent than the op.

@BlueJava

The Pfizer vaccine needs to be transported at -80C. I don’t wish the local Hermes driver screw that one up

This is so, so true @letmethinkaboutitfornow Around here Hermes have a reputation for lobbing things over the communal gate, I think vaccines will need more accuracy than that.

They will use liquid nitrogen to keep the vaccine at -80C

Listen to yourself!!! Are you a conspiracy theorist? No one in the uk would force someone to have an injection
You need to check your anxiety and stop talking to people in tin hats

Explain how this link supports your preposterous claim. I am assuming you mean interfere, not interface. If you meant interface please also explain what you think that word means.

They will use liquid nitrogen to keep the vaccine at -80C

Or carbon dioxide.

Oh OP I have no words for you. None.

That explains it.

Imagining the sas in balaclavas hiding in bushes and jabbing you in the arse on your way to tesco. You dont even know its happened.

Until its too late.

As long as they’re hot I’m game

It’s brilliant that the army are involved, or anyone, in fact, who can help out. The sooner the better.

@mumwon

(bit worried about vets they might want to give injections - um - elsewhere )

For - a better bedside manner than most consultants I've ever encountered. More experience in giving injections very quickly, even when the patient is decidedly uncooperative. Strangely, better looking as a rule, too.

Against - getting scruffed, weighed, a needle shoved in the skin fold in the back of my neck and a thermometer shoved up the arse.

Thats. OK all. You guys get the vaccine and let me know how it goes. Don't say I didn't warn you about side effects

Eh ok

I've just read that article, OP. It's very reassuring, thanks for posting it. I'm an NHS worker and my Trust is on the list to have all its staff vaccinated asap - and I can't bloody wait to protect the people around me, including my vulnerable DD.

I'm with @SimonJT - hunky SAS men coming to poke me... happy days

Do you think we can sign up early?

If I had to stand on one leg, doing the hokey Copley, while doing an impression of a chicken to have the vaccine, I would. The virus is here to stay. A vaccine is the only way to get back to normality.

Are you a qualified scientist?

I gave myself injections for ten days post c section after about 30 seconds advice from a midwife. It’s not rocket science.

You're braver than me! I had 14 days worth after my tummy tuck 4 weeks ago. I just couldn't do it! My husband did it for me whilst I hid behind a pillow! Still got the bruised arms too! Tbf it felt like any other time I've had jabs by doctors/nurses.

Every small (four person) unit in the services will have someone who has trained in basic medicine... a bit higher level than a first aider, but one of the first things they will be taught is how to administer injections safely. Along with bandages, and cardio resus procedures. Everyone should be taught the basics before leaving primary school.

The main side effects for the majority of vaccines are a sore arm at the injection site and possibly feeling mildly ropey for a day or two, I highly doubt the covid vaccine will be any different. Serious side effects are incredibly rare and the risk of suffering serious side effects from a vaccine is much lower than the risk of serious side effects from whatever disease it is, for example the MMR carries a 1 in 1,000,000 risk of contracting encephalitis whereas actually catching measles gives a 1 in 5,000 risk.

I suspect that the vaccine side effects are less severe than the virus side effects, so if you decline the vaccine and then get ill, don't say you weren't warned

You don't have to have it if you don't want it, I wish we could say the same about the bloody virus.

I broke my ankle and my husband had to inject my stomach daily to avoid clots. He wasn’t even shown how to do it.

My DH watched a couple of YouTube videos! 😬😆
