It's the same vaccine. Just some administrative nonsense over the brand name.

"Covisheild" isn't a different variety, it's just a different brand name. Confusion has arisen because the AZ vaccine has yet to get approval as being marketed as "Covisheild" in the EU. Both the EU and the Government are being mildly disingenuous about the whole thing in their statements...

2nd Oxford one in yesterday morning, bit disappointed it wasn't at the Oval Cricket Ground again but I guess Battersea Arts Centre will have to do. I will remember I ended up having my vaccines at the very places we were banned from going to. No side effects at all, in fact I've been painting...

do it

Super efficient in a sort of a village hall election day way. Thank you NHS. Wasn't in the building for more than 15 mins. My Dad would loved the fact I got vaccinated outside The Oval cricket ground.

Brilliant news, my mum got done this evening. It's been a GOOD DAY.

Dony worry. My mum had the same, a letter to go 30 miles away. They are making sure any surplus is used up within the age round. Couple of days later she had her letter to have a jab a few miles away. I suggest you ring your local surgery. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

For whatever medical reason a person may not be able to take a vaccine. It's very rare but there also may be a religious reason. On that basis, you can't refuse to employ somebody simply on the basis they can't be vaccinated. That would be clear discrimination. Just to reiterate, there is no...

It's quite obviously a health and safety matter if somebody is suffering from the virus, but you would have to jump over existing legislation to do so. In any case, nobody knows at the moment whether the vaccine stops you from contracting the virus and passing it on. I'd be amazed if it wasn't...

Can't agree and I respect your views on most things. Hopefully, the majority of the population will take the right decision but you cannot coerce people to take a vaccine if they choose not to. If other countries take the decision you can't enter well that's entirely up to them.

They are helping out and have set a few sites up. My understanding is that if you turn a lot of pharmacies into vaccine centres they effectively cease to be pharmacies. Imagine the arguments outside where people are simply trying to pick up their drugs.

Ok found it. He importantly points out the difference between the level of prevention after a single jab and the longevity of prevention after a single jab. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000qnj0 39:54 Doesn't come across as a Government mouth piece.

Sorry difficult, I listen to the radio more than TV and was some GP head giving a different view from the BMA. Possibly BBC - I'll try and find it. It was very balanced, appreciated the nightmare this has caused GPs.

That's a worldwide issue, not just a UK one.

After an interview I listened to tonight, no not really.

It's unfortunate for the authorities but if they hadn't made such bad decisions in the past, I suspect they would be getting better press for a seemingly good tactical one made quickly and under pressure.

I don't often defend the Government but I think this is a debate within the Health Service rather than a debate between Government and the Health Service. Hasn't been sneaked out, just decision making (and reversals) being made very quickly. Many GPs have actually applauded the change. Large...

They probably said the same about clean water and sanitation.

This is standard practice for mass immunisation programmes which is why the act is in place. To get the companies to act at such speed, volume and in the national interest you have to allow the government to step in and take on the risk. The Oxford vaccine is being produced at cost. It's only...

Because the vaccine has been placed under a special scheme under the Vaccine Damages Act. If you suffer a severe adverse reaction you are entitled to compensation from the Government. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
