How many have been vaccinated so far?

Maybe this has been mentioned somewhere but I can’t find any info, but do you get a stamped card or anything when you’ve had your vaccine? Any paperwork that says you’ve had it? Or is it something you’d need to get your GP to certify?

I’m 38 and have just been offered mine. I’m not really interested, but the thing that would sway me would be some paperwork to make parts of my job easier!

You get a card with the Vax name, dates of 1st and 2nd and batch no.

I am 37 and had my first (OxAZ) on Saturday. Wife (47) had Moderna the week before. I went of the GP text, she went on the national booking system.

Ok, thanks. Food for thought. Very much on the fence at the moment but clearly once I get it done it’s too late!

What ever happened to the novavax vaccine ?

It's in phase III

Phase 3 was completed in march with results announced. Same as the JnJ one. For whatever reason vs AZN/Pfizer approval has taken much longer now..

Not comparing the severity to the flu, but we don't vaccinate everyone for the flu, so if the main risk group for corona are vaccinated and protected then I don't see why absolutely everyone needs it, when the much less at risk from corona group seem to be statistically more at risk from (some) of the vaccines.

Definitely agree on this.

Apart from the card, jabs go on your NHS patient record which you can see online via PatientAccess or the NHS phone app (not the Test&Trace one).

Hmmm, it’s sort of for this reason I don’t want it. I don’t want it on a central record which insurance companies and the like can access but I’d like the cards that say I’ve had it. Maybe I’ll look into having it abroad.

All medication you've ever had through the NHS is on it. Mine has a tetanus vaccination from 1990 on it. Also nobody outside the health services can access your records without your permission.

The problem with issuing cards is that it will need to be authenticated against you somehow - a photo, fingerprint etc.

How are so many of you in your late 30s getting appointments at the moment, through your GP?

I'm 39, tried the NHS website but it just says I'm not currently eligible.

Exactly this, everything on your medical record is the highest level of PII data and cannot be accessed by anyone without your permission without risk of MASSIVE fines under GDPR legislation.

Yeah, txt msg from accuRX (my local GP online provider) which is sent by your GP. Will have a personalised link like accurx.thirdparty.nhs.uk/*/*********. Gives you about 24 hours to book before the link expires.

Seems based on healthy scepticism to me. Nothing he’s said would stop me from taking a vaccine if I was a risk.

It’s only those who seem to be feverishly defend the vaccine that seem to have an agenda.

Healthy scepticism that doesn’t waver in the face of facts is unhealthy.

You’d have to explain and evidence further what you mean by “feverishly defend the vaccine” and what the “agenda” is, but this isn’t the thread.

The agenda is largely a political one. In terms of the popular perception, the vaccine is likely the single most positive thing the current government have done in response to the covid-19 pandemic and prior to this there were many perceived failures. There is huge political capital in a succesful vaccine rollout. When I say feverishly defending the vaccine, I'm referring to those who immediately declared that other countries halting the use of the AZ vaccine were doing so for political reasons.

I also don't see anything from Ronald that suggests his scepticism is unwavering.

Any idea where this shows in the NHS app or how long it takes to show post the jab? I had mine 3 weeks ago but it doesn’t show

Mine shows under View Your GP Health Record > Medicines > Acute (short term) medicines

Ta. Mine isn’t there yet. I had the jab via the online booking and not my doctors so I wonder if that is the reason for the delay in it updating.

It will need to be quicker if they plan on using this as the source of vaccine ‘passport’ information though

I realise there are quite a few twitter accounts reporting the progress of the vaccine rollout, but this is one I find useful, so I thought I would share it here in case it is of interest to others.

In addition to the daily update, he also includes a week-on-week comparison and includes a progress chart of cumulative second doses vs target, which is interesting.

That's interesting data, but an appalling graph. What do the different categories actually mean? Why are some of the bars a deeper colour?

[Borghetto]

I had my second AZ jab last Wednesday, no side effects at all, not even a sore arm. My first jab 3 months ago gave me the shivers for a couple hours the first evening; followed by general tiredness the next day. Age 68.

It isn't an appalling graph - but it contains a lot of information which takes some time to digest.

The graph is designed to show the progress of 2nd doses vs target.

The solid red line is the number of cumulative second doses given so far. The dotted red line is the target (based on an 11 week delay from the 1st dose). So we need the solid red line to stay on the left hand side of the dotted red line to be on track.

The purple bars show the number of 2nd doses given by day. The darker purple bars are the current day and the same day last week (so you can get an easy visual comparison vs last week).

The dotted purple line is the rolling 7 day average of second doses given.

Once you get used to it, it gets easier to read, and I think it is quite useful.

It is actually a poor way of displaying the data, it looks like something I would try to do. It really needs separating out into different charts to make it easier to read. Background: I am a data engineer who can throw billions of rows of data around and make it properly queriable, I just can;t make a pretty report for st. See my daily graphs for examples of the piss poor graphs I make

.

I don't agree. It uses acronms without explanation, doesn't explain all terms, and (as far as I can see) says nothing at all about the darker lines.
