How many have been vaccinated so far?
Discussion
Not sure if this is the right place, but I didn't want to start another Covid/Vaccine thread....
Haven't heard about their group targeting any of the other companies that are making massive profits from from the pandemic.

Protesters and police have clashed outside AstraZeneca's headquarters in Cambridge.
The demonstrators blocked the entrance to the building in Hills Road accusing the pharmaceutical company of profiting during the pandemic and to demand the jab is licensed openly so it can be shared with the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Masked activists were seen in videos chanting and beating drums and a banner unfurled at the site read: "We demand a people's vaccine".
Cambridgeshire Police arrested four people aged 17, 20, 22 and 49, reports say, as officers moved in to disperse the demonstrators, some of whom had chained themselves to the roof.
AstraZeneca said it had produced the jab not-for-profit and shared "know-how" with partners across the world.

Its been weeks since the 40-42 bracket was annoyed. Amazed we are not in the 30's officially yet.
The projection hasn't really changed for the last few weeks - we should move to under 40's sometime around the end of this week (maybe early next week).J210 said:

Just felt like we went from 42+ to 40-42 within a week. But no news on under 40's yetAlso worth noting that they have now decided not to use AZ for under-40s if possible. So it may be that stocks of Pfizer/Moderna/whatever need to be built up before sending more invites. I can also imagine that under-40s might be a little more hesitant to have the jab as the risk/benefit calculation is more nuanced for that age bracket, especially in the light of the lack of deaths and low numbers of hospital admissions.
It was probably a bit of a mistake to give out the latest guidance that AZ wasn't preferred for under-40s, without explicitly saying one way or the other. If you were 31 you might justifiably wonder what you would be offered if you turned up and whether it might be better to wait until you could be certain of a non-AZ jab.
It's also possible that the under-40s are just bypassing the booking system and getting jabbed anyway so there's a tacit acceptance by the government.
None of us really have the information to know what's really happening of course.

If the under 40's and actually thought about it they may well come to the conclusion there is fek all risk to them of covid and question the need to even have this experimental vaccine.It was probably a bit of a mistake to give out the latest guidance that AZ wasn't preferred for under-40s, without explicitly saying one way or the other.

We do know whats happening - look at the age/death charts. its fek all if you are under 40.

Maybe they have thought about it, have learned that being vaccinated helps cut transmission by around 50%, and have decided it is worth it to help society as a whole.We do know whats happening - look at the age/death charts. its fek all if you are under 40.
Them having the vaccine and therefore slashing transmission rates will help protect others who cannot have the vaccine for medical reasons.
I think we can all see, very clearly, that the only way out if this mess is to vaccinate our way out of it, even those who feel they are at very little risk.

Indeed. I'm young so probably at low risk from Covid, but my biggest worry throughout the pandemic is passing the virus on to someone who is vulnerable. The vaccines don't provide 100% protection, so reducing transmission by having everyone vaccinated is very worthwhile.

39 here and had been booked in for the jab (SW London). Received an SMS stating that preference is now non AZ for under 40 with no underlying health conditions. Options to either discuss @ vaccination site or cancel appointment and they will contact once alternative is available for booking.
Hopefully production is still going well

1. Reducing transmission.We do know whats happening - look at the age/death charts. its fek all if you are under 40.
2. Knowing quite a few very healthy people well under 40 who have 'long-COVID', some of whom are really, really struggling many months later, I'd rather avoid that. I didn't die when I had Myocarditis, but I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Anyhow, my wife and I are 39 and nothing yet, she is even on the official 'reserve priority' list for the area and has never got the last-minute call to go get one!

Well done. Thinking of others is to be admired.

Are you going to require children to take the vaccine as well?
reducing transmission to those that cannot have it? Do we do this currently for others that are immosuppressed? no of course not as its nonsense.
To require the majority to have a vaccine for something that wont affect them to maybe protect somebody they may never meet and is such small numbers to be insignificant but is a risk to the person taking it is nuts.
Dont be afraid. You are easier to control if you are.
Would you make the vaccine compulsory?
