RE: Latest news Pfizer Scaring and terrible17 Jan 2021 12:46
Manifesto, I'm not terribly impressed with the government moving the goal post with the second vaccine dosage, I'm one of the few doctors who's had a second dose. My trust policy was to honour the original regime only if you'd booked in for the second dose which I had done prior to government changing policy. I don't think it will be a problem in the long term, my main issue is that many will be left at an increased risk of contracting Covid in the gap between the two doses. I've been working exclusively for nearly a year on Covid wards ranging from ED admissions to directly on the wards and as I say this vaccine is infinitely better than the pain I've seen patients go through, a sore arm and a headache after my second dose is far better than feeling short of breath and being unable to (without supplementary oxygen) walk to the toilet for weeks on end without feeling extremely breathless.
It's the most disabling virus I've seen in my career.
