Statistically most people will get the Oxford vaccine if you are not in the first tranches of the rollout.
I’m with LT, I’ll be at the back of the queue for several reasons, mainly youth, health and circumstances. My wife on the other hand is getting one soon as she works in private medical care.
Oxford-vaccine is expected to take care of most normal working age Finns too by today’s news, ie folks like me.
Dubman Interesting on China having menu for different injections.
It’s not China, it’s Hong Kong that has a different regulatory system and more of a market in healthcare.
Hence the rich mainlanders cross go there so that they don’t have to accept the free/heavily subsidised but no choice mainland PRC vaccinations.
Be great for Si and MC if you could get a jab for bants.
Pretty much the same as everyone else. There are some things that are fairly universal. Slapstick humour is fairly universal. And about 1 in 10 people you meet having some utterly outlandish views when you have a few beers and get down to brass tacks is one of those things.
Some sort of bantz booster?

Absolutely love the titles of some of the covid experts we hear from on a daily basis!
If the AZ jab provided strong protection against serious illness then fine - I have no problem taking it even if efficiency is lower (than Pfizer’s)… problem is though AZ’s data on prevention of serious covid is based on a pretty small sample?
I went Pfizer about 3 weeks ago. Arm hurt after about 6 hours and lasted 2 days. Didn’t get a choice. As you may know, a lot of doctors upset evidence base is being neglected and 3 week second dose booster is on hold indefinitely according to our trust. A lot of doctors been rocking up at the end of the day and seeing if any spare vaccine available for their 3 weeker. I’m firmly in the camp that you should stick to trial protocol and not go off piste and give as many people a first dose as possible. Evidence now from Gupta Lab in Cambridge suggesting 1st Pfizer dose alone not generating adequate antibody response in the over 80’s.
Wasily I have heard it suggested by medical insiders that doing the single jab without the second may also provide the perfect conditions for vaccine resistance.
I blame Tony Blair for this policy.

And yet, nobody in government had to listen to Tony Blair (a lawyer by training) over the healthcare professionals, did they?
