So, if I get vaccinated and the person sitting beside me in the pub/restaurant/plane has not been vaccinated, there is a chance I could still pick it up?

The vaccine doesn't kill the virus, your immune system does that but the vaccine instructs your immune T cells what to look for, as the virus was unrecognisable by your immune system.Yes there is a 0-10 percent chance of still getting illness depending on the vaccine.
And probably a similar or higher chance of being infected without illness but be contagious to others.
Wow ... I mean why not just stick them in a box and be done with it!A healthcare worker I know thinks we shouldn't be giving it to over 90 s as "a lot are not around for second one ".
If 4 people died in Galway nursing home yesterday I would presume they died after getting first Jab ,how many more are like this? A healthcare worker I know thinks we shouldn't be giving it to over 90 s as "a lot are not around for second one ".
I thought after a investigation it was found that they couldn't link the vaccine to those deaths.There was an incident in norway where 20 nursing home residents died soon after receiving the vaccine.
The strain the vaccine places on the system could have been a factor.
I think guidelines have been revised to take into account how far someone is on the 'frailty' scale now.
So not just that they are over 90, but how frail they are.
To aid discussion with facts, only 3 of the 4 residents who died yesterday had received the first dose of vaccine.If 4 people died in Galway nursing home yesterday I would presume they died after getting first Jab
That's good news. People need to remember that the aim here is to reduce the R number so that infections don't become outbreaks and pandemics.Yes encouraging study on the Oxford \ AZ vaccine reducing transmission - note the study hasn't completed peer review yet:
A single dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine may reduce transmission of coronavirus by two thirds, according to a new study which provides a major boost to the UK’s recommendation that the second jab should be delayed for up to 12 weeks. Researchers said that the first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab offers protection of 76% up to three months and may reduce transmission by 67% – with efficacy rising to 82.4% after the second dose 12 weeks later.
