We finally got our Oxford today. The one Europe frowned upon but now can’t get enough of  <*<


Wife is ok and personally I just had an aching shoulder for a couple of hours.

Looking long term it would make sense for Oz to produce their own under licence. The Italians only have the ability to block the shipment because it is being produced under licence from AZ in Italy  >>:-(


I think every country needs its own manufacturing ability as this could go on forever. I’m thinking a licence also ensures all mutation updates

The EU has made a total cock up of their vaccination policy and are scrabbbling to try and salvage something from the mess.

Andy, yes Australia has purchased the 'to manufacture under Licence'......quantities of both the AZ and the Johnson varieties


The speed at which our decisions were made I think reflected the degree of infection here on our shores.......[I certainly have my own thoughts but we on MBM are forbidden here to elaborate on any Political decisions]...... [I must not get into the hot water pot again]

In fairness, I think the -70C logistics requirement of the LT version balked many.......some are now suggesting the actual cost of the on-site supply of this is x 500 the actual cost of 1/2 a dozen single doses  :-X  to outback Australian Communities

I can safely mention that the OZ production is destined for some smaller Pacific Region Countries

Having asked question chatting with my colleagues in the office the other day (we work from Paris but obviously everyone is at home), I think most of Europe is *****d of with the UK at the moment. Sour grapes with splitting, then watching us do so (relatively) well with vaccinations in % terms so far.  One thing for sure my colleagues are all very bitter about what's happening in their countries, it's a bit of a touchy subject.

Well, the EU seem to have comprehensively messed up their response at all levels. Inadequate delivery and incompetent politicians.

In the UK we just seem to have the latter.

I'm way down the pecking list but I just hope it doesn't have the same effects as my yellow fever jab did.  Looking back I should have gone to hospital after that, but wasn't well enough to think much at all.  Knocked me completely sideways for 6+ weeks after.  Just as well I didn't do the trip -I'd have not made it on the flight, or probably put in hospital when I got there.

I would bring that up with your GP now get some reassurance it should be ok  and Definitely mention when you attend for your jab or get your appointment date

I suspect that you need to resolve it before you go for your jab as I suspect that the screening will refuse you otherwise.

I can't believe the fuss that is being made about Easter overseas holidays. Surely nobody in their right mind, or with any sense of community spirit,  was booking an overseas holiday for Easter!

Looking long term it would make sense for Oz to produce their own under licence.


The Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (CSL) will be manufacturing 50 million doses of the AZ vaccine at the rate of 1 million per week in Australia, starting very soon. We are in a very fortunate situation here at present, as the incidence of Covid is very low, and restrictions are being relaxed almost daily. We have had no cases in our area since July 2020, and many other areas are the same. Several deliveries of vaccine have arrived in Australia from overseas, and are already being given, but when the CSL comes on line it will be full steam ahead.

Personally I would have thought the UK government would seize on the chance of a publicity coup by sending the 250,000 doses from the AZ UK supply as a gesture of cultural solidarity i.e. one in the eye for the EU  ;D


Not say anything till its in the hands of the AUS authority, citing that we dont block shipments to our friends.

After over 24hrs I can report that despite our initial report we both descended into feeling quite unwell.I stayed in bed until quite late and lacked any energy today. However as bed time approaches I think we are getting over the worst.

I have never seen this researched so it is pure speculation.

I wonder if how bad a reaction you get to the jab is in any way related to how much protection you build and/or how susceptible you were to Covid in the first place and/or if it varies between vaccines?

I had a slight ache around the  injection site for 12hrs & my wife had no reaction at all to the 1st dose. Pfizer. As i explained it to her "no sense no feeling". I am still recovering from that comment and its after effects.

I think it’s related to muscle density. My mother felt nothing at 85, my wife felt nothing at the time of the injection but does now.
I felt like there was great resistance to the liquid going in and it’s still feeling bruised.

I've heard there are two factors dictating whether you get a reaction. Firstly it depends where the needle goes in. If it hits a tendon or some other structure then it can cause inflammation. Secndly, it might indeed depend on whether you have already caught covid without being aware of it or caught something in the same group of viruses. Early last year I got the 'coughing bug' which gives you a nasty cough for weeks and that is a virus. It wasn't Covid as I've had it before and the symptoms were the same.

So I might have said to my wife "no sense, no feeling and no muscle tone."  {:-{ . Dangerous.

I didn't feel the injection at all. I was speaking to someone else & hadn't realised that I had had it.

Colin
I have always wondered about whether I have had Covid. I was in Wuhan just before the virus became public knowledge & I came home with an incredibly vicious cough. The sort where you go red/blue because you just cannot breathe in and you have run out of air to cough with. I was put on antibiotics but they didn't really help much within normal antibiotic time scales.

Hi Mayhem People. To put some folks minds at rest. I have a friend who is a retired GP and he has volunteered to help out with the vaccine programme locally. His wife is also a working GP. We have discussed at length the fact that some people feel a bit naff for 1 to 3 days after the AZ vaccine and he has given me an insight into the reasons (all a bit technical) but fundamentally its pretty much the same as to why some people get really bad colds and lucky folk like me hardly ever get a cold. The bottom line is, he stated categorically that he would tell people to not be concerned in any way about having the AZ vaccine.To give you all something to smile at, our local council has just put up some notices in the park where our Club operates. The signs are all about drug abuse in the park. Given the age demographic of our members and the ailments we all suffer from, we have concluded that we are the largest drug users that ever go near the park !!!!!
