25 year has just changed his 2nd AZ jab.

Was scheduled for 8 November but changed it to this Wednesday so he can go to the movies with his mates on the weekend.

^ Just fyi:
The evidence underpinning the recommended 12 week gap between the first and second AstraZeneca shots comes from a study published in the Lancet.

The study found leaving less than six weeks between the initial shot and the booster gave 55.1% efficacy (protection from symptomatic disease). Leaving 6-8 weeks between shots increased efficacy to 59.9%, and waiting 9-11 weeks, efficacy was 63.7%. However, if the gap was 12 weeks or longer efficacy jumped to 81.3%.

So to get the best protection from the AstraZeneca vaccine, you need at least 12 weeks between your first and second shot.

Just because it's politically convenient for governments to rush people to have second doses doesn't make it sensible.

One reason why the recent push for vaccine mandates and "passports" may actually be irresponsible, when you think about it.

My son got his second Pfizer this morning. If it wasn't for mandatory vaccines for authorised workers he wouldn't have got any
