Thanks for that it really gives a real sense of what to expect. I have a friend 54 in the UK who experienced similar fatigue issues for 2 days.My wife and myself got our 1st shot on Sunday, both 68 and found everything very well run. Sun night we were both a little more tired than usual and had an early night. Both of us took 2 paracetamol before bed and the following morning we were to head off for a walk and then spend the day on a beach in Achill. I can assure you this didn't happen. Wife was just tired and didn't feel like going anywhere but yours truly was totally spent. Wasn't sick or anything, just no energy, legs heavy and generally tired. This lasted for the day and also all day yesterday and we took paracetamol again before bed last night too. This morning we're both a lot better but feel the vaccine working away in our system and will take it easy. No garden, no walk but thankfully the appetite is ok, not as hungry as usual but not far off it. No need for anyone to worry, just be prepared to be a little down and not working on all cylinders. I do recommend the paracetamol and my neighbour took a Lemsip Max for 2 nights, says it really helped with sleep. She's almost back to normal as well and we're looking forward to our final shot in 12 weeks..
A bit puzzled by this. I got my 1st Pfizer vaccination on 16th April and my 2nd injection is confirmed for Thursday next 13th May.and we're looking forward to our final shot in 12 weeks..
Second dose for AZ is 12 weeks and 28days for Pfizer.A bit puzzled by this. I got my 1st Pfizer vaccination on 16th April and my 2nd injection is confirmed for Thursday next 13th May.
Why the 12-week gap in your case, if you don't mind me asking? I thought all follow-up treatments were at a 4-weekly remove with a 7-day "cooling off" period post-treatment.
From same article:From the BBC News webpage 7 days ago.
And of 42 deaths in people with Delta variant infections, 23 were unvaccinated and seven had received only one dose. The other 12 had received two doses more than two weeks before.
Yes, but 12 deaths out of 42 were people that had been fully vaccinated. That's 28% of the total.223 have been admitted to hospital - most were unvaccinated or had only had only dose, and 20 people were fully vaccinated.
So the vaccine could reduce your chances of hospitalisation by 90 percent.
For me I think that understanding all of this is now key to everything.Yes, but 12 deaths out of 42 were people that had been fully vaccinated. That's 28% of the total.
Which vaccine though? The UK may have bet heavily on a 'poor cousin' vaccine. Those getting a 2nd Pfizer are being told that while the HSE says you are fully vaccinated 7 days hence, the current data suggests it's 14 days re the Delta variant.Yes, but 12 deaths out of 42 were people that had been fully vaccinated. That's 28% of the total.
My guess is it will have to be some proven therapeutics following positive antigen tests.Simply the administration of vaccines alone may not be enough to finally get this virus under control. What can be or will be done to compliment vaccines is anyones guess . .
Have a read of this... it is important whether the % relates to whether you will have symptoms, but the main concern is about hospitalisations.Both myself and my wife have now received our double jab of AZ. At first we heard that we had 92% protection but it appears that this has been reduced to 60% against the Delta variant. I am also hearing that if we had a mix with Pfizer we would have 5 times more protection than two doses of AZ. Then this morning I heard that we would have had 9 times more protection.
Then I hear that we might need a booster jab around Christmas because we have had two AZ vaccines.
I then hear that people in the UK who have had two AZ vaccines are getting the Delta Covid and some ending up in hospital very sick.
I hear that over 180 people tested positive for Covid in Dungarvan after drinking in a bar. I assume that this was outdoor drinking with indoor toilets?
So for us nothing has really changed. We continue on as we did before we got our vaccines. We certainly won't be jumping at the €5 Ryanair flights and even a staycation looks unlikely.
