I have been pinged , and as I only went to one place that day, I know it was a family meal in a restaurant. It was quiet in there and well spaced out , DH and dd2 had covid three months ago, DD1 and I didn’t catch it.
Dd1 is due to have her second vaccine tomorrow, but the PCR test results won’t be back, what would you do ? Should she go ahead ?
She can do a LFT beforehand . The contact was four days ago.

If she’s not currently sick and has a negative lft then she can get jabbed.

If she’s waiting for PCR results she should be isolating

@YerAWizardHarry

If she’s waiting for PCR results she should be isolating
Not if it’s just for being a close contact and not having any symptoms

We are isolating essentially, at least not going anywhere, but we don’t have to.
Neither of us have any symptoms yet, we can both do a LFT before her vaccine. The PCR probably won’t be back until Thurs/Fri.

But she’s not been pinged right? Just you? Close contacts of close contacts have never had to isolate.
I don’t think the recommendation is for contacts of contacts to take PCRs anyway.

Depends where you are I think.
In Wales everyone needs to isolate while waiting for PCR tests.

SirVixofVixHall · 07/12/2021 11:50

I am in Wales but it said I don’t need to isolate so that is confusing. I am the only one pinged as I have the app.

Nothing the app does is compulsory anyway, only if test & trace contact you (at least, that's the case in England). If she is LFT negative with no symptoms I would go ahead with the jab.

SirVixofVixHall · 07/12/2021 11:52

I did order a test for her too, as we were together, but not for DH and DD2 as i think it is too close to them having Covid.
The other two family members have just had PCR tests anyway, as they were travelling.

I don’t want to risk her getting very unwell from the vaccine, I may be mistaken but I think that can happen if you are positive ? Although it must be fairly common as many people might be in the incubation stage without knowing ?

No it doesn't make you more I'll, it just means you can't distinguish between the symptoms of Covid& vaccine side effects.

Can you attend a test site so you get your results quicker? I'm in the next county up from you and we've done day 2 and day 8 tests over the past week at the Council Office site as DD1 tested positive. The results came through in the early hours of the morning : 1am Tues after testing at 10am Monday and 7am Monday after doing the test at 11.30 on Sunday.

Pob lwc !
