"A bit surprised there’s no tracking of how many people have been vaccinated in the UK so far so a fab poll... who’s had the vaccine so far?" I don't think anyone knows how many or they are not telling I think it's should be told like how many have died. | |||

"A bit surprised there’s no tracking of how many people have been vaccinated in the UK so far so a fab poll... who’s had the vaccine so far?" According to a recent BBC article, the NHS said that they expected to vaccinate 5000 people per day at EACH mass centre. There were initially 50 mass vaccination centres on day 1, but this should increase as the project ramps up. So theoretical they are rolling out tens of thousands of doses every day. Cal | |||

"I don't know if it's the same for the covid shots, but I popped to the doorstep of my elderly neighbour to check on her today, and she told me the nurse had popped round and given her a flu shot. So for those who struggle to travel it might be possible to have the shot at home. She forgot to ask if she could be given the covid vaccine at home, and she was under the impression she needs to wait at least a month after having a flu shot before having anymore vaccinations. That of course might be in her particular situation." Your neighbour is nearly right. It's minimum two weeks between the flu jab and Covid jab: "The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is recommended to be given at least two weeks apart from your flu jab." | |||

Not according to the NHS website which states the following: "It takes a few weeks after getting the 2nd dose for it to work."" Not according to the FDA: "The coronavirus vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech provides strong protection against Covid-19 within about 10 days of the first dose, according to documents published on Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration before a meeting of its vaccine advisory group. The finding is one of several significant new results featured in the briefing materials, which include more than 100 pages of data analyses from the agency and from Pfizer. Last month, Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their two-dose vaccine had an efficacy rate of 95 percent after two doses administered three weeks apart. The new analyses show that the protection starts kicking in far earlier." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/08/health/covid-vaccine-pfizer.html | |||

I don't think anyone has died from the vaccine yet and if they had then they wouldn't be advertising it. It would be kept secret. I mean they should put figure's on the TV like they do the death rate and the infection rates. Why?" Many reasons. Because openly publicising the figures will potentially build public confidence and credibility in the only game in town. Because NOT publishing them feels like they are being hidden for nefarious reasons or because of incompetence... Or both. Because if people see that 1m have had it, it may help sway some who are reluctant if done as part of a communications strategy Because its the flagship of this govts exit strategy... So you'd think they'd want to holler it from the rooftop Because its also a reality check for those who think game over.. We can do what we want now as we have a vaccine. Because its going to take a very very long time to jab 50m people twice... And then repeat it 6months later. That's 200m clinical processes in a year... And in 2 weeks we've done how many? And many more... | |||

"Lots of comments which add nothing to the question posed by op other than reflecting a personal chip about government this or government that... It's normal to wait after having most vaccines so it surprised me to hear the reason given by surgeries no longer able to do it. As for the numbers issue being a few days behind, that also would be normal. Do you expect the vaccination programs to suddenly stop when the numbers are collected and wait for them to be announced before resuming in order that the numbers are correct at the time of announcement? The numbers per day will increase as centres get into the way of things and as elderly people are able to make arrangements to get to the centres as many will not have their own transportation. Also there's the confidence factor. Those who think deaths will be surprised are bonkers too. The issues of side effects will be under a close eye by reporters of all sides. It won't be glossed over. It takes time so just watch and listen and ignore the moaners. " This | |||

"Half a million so far in England according to today’s figures (valid up till the 20th so will obviously be higher now)" Not doing that well then. At this rate it'll take over 15 months to get rid of the initial order of 40 million doses (40 ÷ 2) and that's without the caveat that they may have to give a 3 month booster, 20 million in just about a year. | |||

Would you test positive if you have just had the vaccine as you would have covid in your system?" The vaccine contains the mRNA for the viral spike protein. That would not be detected in a nasopharyngeal swab, no. Once antibodies are formed after the vaccine, then it would be indistinguishable if an antibody test was carried out as to whether the antibodies are as a result of natural exposure or vaccine. | |||

"Why not just give one vaccination and do twice as many people? Apparently the first injection gives 91% protection and the second one only increases it to 95%" I've not seen those figures in the Trial results that are published. The second dose should consolidate the immune response and give longer protection. It has only been approved based on the results of 2 shots, not 1. It would need formal approvals changes. Which published literature included the 91% figure? | |||
