Re: Coronavirus
According to a friend working in NHS Scotland critical care, those hospitals that originally intended to use their discretion to give second doses to those already scheduled have now given up doing so. Officially it’s because they have decided to comply with national policy. The real reason is that the Pfizer vaccine is causing significant side effects in 40-50% of recipients of the second dose. Headaches, nausea, hives, all the usual, and severe enough to keep people off work for a couple of days. As you can imagine the last thing hospitals need right now is additional staff sickness. So nobody is now getting a rapid second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. I imagine that if you’re already very frail there are significant risks for you from the Pfizer vaccine.
