Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine batch halted after blood clots

[NotAllThere]

Bit of a stretch. When the population says "safe" they don't mean "absolutely no chance of anything happening"

Anti-vaxxers do. And _V_ _Veers_ that way. Apparently.

_V_ is Dim

It seems to be a load of nonsense.

Yep, the only clots are the idiots who refuse to have the vaccine!

I had my first vaccine jab (AstraZeneca) today!

Tomorrow, I can register. Imagine my joy again at leaving the UK 19 years ago.

How is vaccination going in the land that gave the world yodelling? None of those nasty Bavarian cuckoo clocks.

You seem to be ahead of the EU & behind Bermuda or the Cayman islands, maybe they have better weather?

From reading supply hit you hard is that improving?

Well, we both registered first thing this morning - just after registration opened. My daughter tried an hour later and the website was slow, so we got in at a good time. We'll probably get the jab in May at the earliest. They say everyone who wants it will be done "by late summer". The supply issue is easing. Another issue is that the Swiss have their own regulatory body and it doesn't have a fast track process. I expect that will change! Currently we'll get either Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna. Delivered vaccines where I live is 17.5 per 100 people. They've administered 11.65 doses per 100 people.

I heard on the news early morning the Az-Ox batch has been tested a cleared. The blood clot issue is a red herring and is merely a normal occurrence with or without vaccine taken into consideration. Unfortunately, the damage has already been done by the media publicity. A neighbour near me said she is cancelling her vax appointment due to the fear of having a blood clot; I expect a few thousand others have done the same which may result in a few extra covid deaths.

Cheers , shows they are being open if you have that level of detail. having had my first jab it does make the feeling of helplessness slightly less. Our parents have all had it and the feeling is they have the best chance now, all of us being careful.
