A question re students... are they not going to reach the student age group when most of them are residing away from their GP area? How does that work? And what about the second dose?

DS1 is due home this Sunday. Not jabbed yet (19). GP 100+ miles away once he is back.

Do they just register online and go where is convenient?

Where I am gps are not doing any at all for under 50s so it’s online only and you just put the postcode in where you want a vaccine so it makes no difference where you are registered with gp.

@Piggywaspushed
Also, there will be no problem putting in a different postcode for the second if necessary.

@Piggywaspushed

He is coming back to a place calling over 18s but from a place that hasn't got to them yet... complicated...

Certain gp groups still vaccinating may be down to 18+ but via the national online system it’s still only just below 30. That is expected to start coming down within a few days though

@Frazzled2207 I help with the vaccinations (volunteer) and people who’ve asked for 2nd within less than 8 weeks have generally been turned away unless there was a very specific medical reason

Does that mean that if I book my second then I will be turned away?
Because I've confirmed with the GP that I have been called to book my second, and, yes, they do have the date of my first one correct. I've checked and it only has next week dates that it's offering me.
We're not in a surge area either, staying low round here.

@MargaretThursday
If all arranged via the GP then that’s probably fine. Different places have different policies. Round here you can only book via the National booking system which is 8 weeks minimum gap. Randoms turn up on spec and we do some no appointment days and it’s 8 week plus only but it all depends who is in charge which varies greatly. If all through your gp I wouldn’t worry

“ NHS Providers boss Chris Hopson also tells BBC Breakfast the number of people in hospital with the Delta coronavirus variant first identified in India is increasing - but not "very significantly" at the moment.”

Thought it was in the news that with this variant you had 30-100% or something like that more chances of ending up in hospital. Did I misunderstood ?

The mere fact that when you can get the 2nd dose is a postcode lottery is infuriating.

30%-100% more transmissible, about 2.5 times more likely to end up in hospital.

That interview on R4 was interesting, there was more talk of keeping hospitalisations to a level with which the NHS could cope. Quoted Bolton’s peak of 50 this time as opposed to 150/120 in the two previous peaks.

@TheSunIsStillShining

Agree. Very concerned about 1 x dosed 40 Something dh in an Indian hotpot area who still has a month to wait.

I’m liking this graphic on Twitter this morning.

Realistically, plans need to be made for covid being an endemic disease, and it would be interesting to know what's being done. Travellers film overseas, unvaccinated UK residents and frail people will keep at least a low level of fluctuating cases coming into hospitals ongoing. I think CCGs will need to consider how they set up infectious wards to be robust for the future. Covid, flu and norovirus will all need an ability to expand and contract isolation areas, potentially at the same time, with knowledgeable staff, strict infection control measures and all the required facilities readily accessible with improved ventilation and stricter cleaning protocols (x-ray etc). I don't think most hospitals are currently set up to be able to manage fluctuating admissions and isolation even for flu very easily each year, so it would be a big change.

@TheSunIsStillShining

I'd argue that people receiving second doses earlier than 8 weeks are not the winners though.

Most people have more antibodies after a longer gap.

Scotland reported 992 positive results yesterday. Highest number since 17th Feb. Rising everywhere. Edinburgh is seeing exponential increase, now 122 per 100,000, having got off lightly up until now ( related to lack of natural immunity maybe ).
We've also not had half term this last week, as schools only have another 3 weeks till the summer holidays, so no break in school transmission. Seems like we're in a 3rd wave and will know in the next week if it's translating into hospital admissions.
I wouldn't be surprised if they backtrack on some of the relaxation of rules

@PurpleWh1teGreen
*I'd argue that people receiving second doses earlier than 8 weeks are not the winners though.

Pls. show me where you get this from in relation to Pfizer? For AZ it's a very lucky coincidence, but as far as I remember I have not read any similar for P. Only "english researchers" touting that it is good, believe us! But I may have missed something

and in the news the Harrow free for all pop-up vacc center comments from the queue
"Lesser said it will be a relief to get the jab, telling the PA news agency: “If all plans go ahead, clubs are going to open in three weeks’ time and we both have plans to go out.”

He said he has clubbing plans for “about five days in a row” if nightclubs open, “making up for the last year and a half”."

ffs. I am in the same mindframe of constantly effing as I was in March when -as cv- I couldn't get a jab, but my husband got invited.

There doesn't seem to be any real rational behind any of this. It's haphazard and stupid. as always,
No need to react, just venting.

@MRex Thanks, this, I know of.
I'm not that old :)

And also a study with only 175, 80+ participants is more of a PR stunt than anything else. "let's design a study that will yield what we want to hear"
The above statement doesn't mean that it's not true, but I question the value of such a study.

In the US a group of researchers did a meta analysis of millions of vaccinated people who are immunosuppressed with medication and it came back with the result of little to no antibodies. CDC updated their advice accordingly. So it wasn't driven by what they want to hear or prove, but having found something significant.

You asked a question, so I provided the information that's been released that meets your question. I'm uninterested in debating what you perceive to be the merits of it, it isn't my research.

@NannyAndJohn yes supposedly 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalised. However anyone under 30 had a minute chance of being hospitalised anyway.... 2.5 times a minute number is just a slightly bigger minute number...

2.5 times a minute number is just a slightly bigger minute number...

Absolutely, I'm 48, 2.5 times doesn't even make me remotely more likely to be hospitalised with covid than a heart attack, and lockdown and isolation increases my chances of that too (although I have struggled through maintaining my lower risk of that and not returning to other health disorders as I know my personal risks)

2.5 times a minute number is just a slightly bigger minute number...

2.5 times more likely to be hospitalised may be a small increase for each individual but across a population could cause serious healthcare issues.

@colouringcrayons

2.5 times a minute number is just a slightly bigger minute number...

2.5 times more likely to be hospitalised may be a small increase for each individual but across a population could cause serious healthcare issues.

But it's not 'across a population' when the most high risk groups have already been vaccinated and more and more young people are being vaccinated every single day.

[quote Chatterbox1987]@NannyAndJohn yes supposedly 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalised. However anyone under 30 had a minute chance of being hospitalised anyway.... 2.5 times a minute number is just a slightly bigger minute number...[/quote]
Exactly @Chatterbox1987
You've a 1% chance of being hospitalised in your 20s and it rises to 8% in your 50s (unvaccinated) so 2.5 times those odds is still low.

@MRex
fair enough. Just one last point. A study that is only in 80+ doesn't answer -imho- the initial question of how good is it to draw out non-AZ vaccs.
