Or even the week after.I think the hospitalisations are more important now, and that won't become clear until next week.
They said up the showground they have the capacity for 1000-1200 a day when they can get the full supplies as well. Hope ample supplies keep on coming for all our centres and can keep on whacking them into arms as fast as they are doing. Everyones doing a brilliant job !Just returned from the Holmcroft vaccine centre. They have plenty of vaccine delivered this morning. They think 55+ age group is almost done as its starting to get quieter and are ready to start 50+ as soon as government give the ok. Apparently they can do 650 vaccinations a day
So what's going on with the AZ vaccine then. Genuine concern by certain countries? A cynical political ploy as they prepare to announce the usage of the Sputnik vaccine? Or is there going to turn out to be something seriously wrong with AZ and we're screwed.
Worrying, as I've had a transplant due to blood lots and take blood thinning medication.So what's going on with the AZ vaccine then. Genuine concern by certain countries?

So why all the fuss?Hasn't there been 37 cases out of the 17 million doses given. Pretty sure the general population levels of clots will be at least that high.
So why all the fuss?
The contraceptive pill also has a higher potential rate of blood clots than the AZ vaccine (it increases a woman's chances of getting them by 3x or more).
The potential side effects of the pill are horrific. I remember it being brought up when they were trying to develop a male version and one of the side effects was a headache or something so they scrapped the idea IIRC? It didn’t go down well, I’m sure many women wish the only side effect of the pill was a headache.
And from personal experience it can screw with your mood, perpetuating the mardy women stigma.Yeah, the situation where I learned that stat was very much in the "should we talk about how this puts women at much greater risk than the vaccine, yet no one cares" context
