Any one know what is really going on with the Pfizer vaccine? Pfizer has stated contrary to media reports there is no change in the number of doses the company has contracted to deliver to Australia in 2021.
4 sleeps to my second astra jab, not soon enough.
Then about 2 weeks or so to max (whatever that is) immunization effect.
It won't stop me catching, being affected or transmitting to others but if it does keep me out of hospital and frees up a bed for a more needy that's good enough.
There have been people who breezed through the first shot and got extremely rare blood clotting on second shot in UK but not in this country that I know of, and if that ever worried me I wouldn't have got pricked with astra the first time.
I will be a pessimist and say that NSW may be the start of the race of covid infections versus vaccine supply and distribution.
After my first jab, I ran a fever for about 3 hrs, starting about 8 hrs after the jab.
I had my second AZ jab at 10:00 yesterday. After about an hour I was pretty 'flat' for the rest of the day. Took a couple of Panadol and had a little lie down! [wink11]
This morning I am back to my good old self! [bigsmile1]
I’d say you have the answer already - no reason for Pfizer to obfuscate.Quote:

I don't recall the original contract timeline for the first 20 million and too lazy to chase details up...
Last year when they announced vaccines I just assumed the jab would just be done at my GP's clinic like flu shot right from day one.

Bottom line is all Covid outbreaks in Australia are imported. We don't manufacture SARS2 here.
Of each 198 positive cases in hotel quarantine, one leaks into the community. That's how the Sydney limo driver got infected, from air crew.
Therefore, fixing quarantine so it is secure is fundamental to life returning to normal.
Vaccinations mean fewer people getting infected, so outbreaks don't spread to so many people. If we each infect fewer than 1 person, then outbreaks will die out in time.
Sydney's outbreak demonstrates that the idea that lockdowns can be delayed proportionally has failed. The best strategy is to go fast and hard, as other states have repeatedly demonstrated.
Sydney's numbers, while shocking, are far fewer than in Melbourne last year, which reached over 500 a day. So, why is the NSW Government flirting with giving up so easily?
Melbourne people demonstrated how to knuckle down and struggle, at terrible cost, mainly with the 655 deaths in federally-regulated aged care, and win.
Sydney people must stop being complacent and do the same. Easy to say, but hard to do, I know.
Is a retraction more serious than an infraction? Because it's like, external?Quote:
