This leads back to the need for an Australian Medical Record Number

Our Australian Government has previously put forward for all Australian Citizens to Register & sign up to this Database........to have your Medical Records linked to our existing Federal Government Medicare Card registration that every legal Citizen has

The 'naysayes.....' the Gun Lobby, Taxation Evasion Lobby, various Sexually Orientated

Lobbys.....all screamed of loss or invasion of privacy and all that ....

If COVID vaccinations were in short supply, why not mandate a criteria in making a booking was to supply your AMRN

Want to book an airline seat .....present your AMRN

The list of benefits & advantages goes on.......

I have booked in for my 1st COVID-19 injection on Monday the 19th April, so checked the Australian Life Blood for latest advice on 'donations after vaccinations' & to my surprise

the wait & see period is reduced.......

extract from the Australian Life Blood WEB site 2021.04.10

"Yes, but you need to wait at least seven days after each COVID-19 vaccination to make sure you have had no side effects "

So my earlier booking for the 29th of April is still OK.....

[number 110]..

We had ours this afternoon at our local GP clinic. My wife, who has myasthenia gravis, an auto immune disease, was rather apprehensive, but her GP was the duty doctor and was able to reassure her. So far no side effects, but we’ll have to wait and see if there are any long term effects. I believe that the vast majority of people have no issues with the vaccine (AZ).
We are booked for the flu shot in just over two weeks, and our second Covid jab on July 2.

I wonder if I discovered a side effect.
I had my AZ on 5th March and on the 10th of March I decided to reduce alcohol consumption.
I don’t know why this entered my head as I always thought it to be a hard ask.
However for over a month now I have only had a drink on one day in every four and it hasn’t hurt

That’s a terrible side effect Andy, I hope is doesn’t affect me

Since it started I've been keeping track of the numbers in my area through https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274 All easy enough apart from nobody doing any updating over weekends, but today there was a drop in the overall total. Leaves me wondering if there has been a change in the way these things are counted.

Perhaps when the top half of OZ was originally made, it was a foretelling?

I had my 2nd. one yesterday. I was booked 2nd. jab for Thursday 8th. I had been phoning to try and find out what time and twice told, "You will be contacted".

On the 7th. I rang 119 and they then told me there was no booking for me but arranged the following day. I arrived and then they told me there was no trace of my original jab in January! After some to and froing I suggested they rang my wife! She puts it in the diary and then they "accepted" that as my first jab. I think the problem was I was never given a vaccine record card, got one now though.

Had a nice chat though, the clerks were mainly ex-cabin crew staff and with the marshallers in car park (free) there were more of them than the jab-seekers. I wonder if there is a jab seekers allowance?

I got my first jab yesterday as an unpaid carer. Complete faff to get it. I got offered the jab twice at 12hrs notice, then one hours notice at my GP in Culloden...... Which I'm nowhere near because I'm caring for a family member in Falkirk. After 3 weeks chasing and through temporary registration at local GP I finally got the appointment. Feel like I've been kicked in the arm by a horse and pretty nauseous today. Not unexpected I guess. Wasn't happy to have the AZ version but when the nurse finished her questionnaire and said she was happy to give it I said well at least one of us is happy then so we'd better get on with it I guess. LoL.

On Monday I have to start getting the bowls club up and running for the coming season. We have a volunteer work party of members to manage as there is some serious lifting to do but the main problem will be how to keep them social distanced and not hugging each other now they on the green again.

warspite · « **Reply #415 on:** April 11, 2021, 12:40:15 pm »

AH, but won’t the majority be one of the top 4 groups i.e. double dose vaccinated, if they all have a lateral flow test prior to attending then they can stand closer together but avoid the touchy feely bit.

Not so much one of the top as OVER THE TOP Yes we are all probably double dosed but we have appointed a member as our Covid precautions and regulations officer and he has gone totally overboard . I hope he does not go the lateral flow test route that really would put the mockers on our season.

Odd that the Daily Mail chose to block out her Rash in their report but both the Sun and the Scottish Sun and daily record showed them.Maybe they have shares in Astra Zeneca

Everybody catching Covid has a 1 in 35 chance of not surviving. Everybody getting vaccinated has a 1 in 1000000 chance of not surviving. I know which odds I prefer. I preferred them before my shots, I still do.
Figures from https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274
Nobody has yet produced figures for the numbers who have had it, but are suffering severe after effects. Its possibly too technical and difficult to simplify for newspapers perceived readership.

I guess that it depends on which newspaper you read. For the traditional tabloids I would agree.

The long term side effects question is probably very difficult as they seem to still be finding them. Organ malfunction can take a very long time to become obvious for example.

Absolutely false. It is over five percent for those of advanced age with multiple comorbidities and lower than one percent for people under fifty and healthy.

depends which way you look at it, from the figures on the link 4.4 million have caught it, 127,385 have died , that is 1 in 35.

That is abuse of statistics.

We are pretty sure that we know of almost everyone who has died with Covid in their lives but we do not know almost everyone who has had it. Many either have no symptoms or very minor symptoms, don't get a test and therefore don't boost the number who have had it but not died.

Hi I believe 87% of all statistics are wrongly applied. Many poor sods don't know how to work out percentages let alone the other stuff.
