Boosters are not unusual especially if the virus regularly changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk of the under 30’s dieing of COVID must be viewed as similar of less that dieing of blood clots for the policy to change. That probably says more about the risk of COVID to that group than anything else tbh. Fortunately, we have other vaccines to turn to for that age group. I really don’t think there is too much harm in taking a pause for that group just to make sure its the best strategy. Boomers far too desperate to kill the unders 30’s due to fear of ‘variants’ Made me laugh that quote. Considering Millennials and Gen Z’s have just given up a year of their youth to try keep Boomer’s safe/alive you would think they might have a bit of gratitude.

Footballfirst Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Looking at the weekly vaccine supply figures as at 5 April, the forecast supply problem during April is becoming apparent The allocated supplies went up from 3,744,260 last week to 3,814,460 this week, a rise of just 70,200. The delivered supplies however went up from 3,257,390 to 3,528,790 a rise of 271,400. The "reserves" (the gap between allocated and delivered) dropped from 488,870 to 285,670, a fall of 201,200. Those reserves won't last long unless the allocated supplies pick up from last week's numbers. It's not a totally bleak situation though as there remain supplies which have been delivered but not administered, as yet. That figure was 507,136 (less any wastage to date). There should be enough to get to the mid-April 1st dose targets (circa 220k-240k doses, depending on take up rates), but it looks like people will be getting their 2nd jabs a bit closer to the 12 week mark than the 10 weeks that has been typically achieved to date.

That's very encouraging, been reading a few articles that have early data suggesting efficacy against the dominant strains doesn't fall off a cliff-face and should still be good enough. The Manaus strain shares similarities with the UK strain, so perhaps any favourable mutations that are available to the virus aren't likely to allow it to escape our vaccines.

Also some real good data coming via PHE about vaccine breaking trans motions and breaking the link to COVID and hospitals. Matt Hancock is now on TV he’s an arsehole. About 8.5M, under 30’s remaining to be vaccinated and plenty of doses of non Oxford AZ vaccines to jab them up. Urging younger people to get jabbed up to protect their loved ones and unconvincly wittering on about long Covid. The U.K. govt have done very well at dishing the vaccine out.

I'm not patriotic but I could even probably get behind 'do it for your country' more than some ramble about how not getting it maybe might potentially increase the likelihood of a mutation that possibly conceivably may then be a risk to younger people.

kila Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Younger age groups need vaccinated to help stop mutations that could cause the current vaccines to become less effective, which will take us back to a year ago. Hopefully they are progressing with research on a vaccine that targets the body protein of the virus rather than just the spikes? So any typical mutation wouldn’t be a problem.

Was wondering if someone more clued up on the vaccine could answer this question for me, as there may be an obvious answer that I have missed in the news etc. My understanding is that people who have been vaccinated can still catch CV, however the vaccine essentially stops them from getting ill from it. If vaccinated people can still catch CV and become a host for the virus, why can’t it mutate within a vaccinated person?
