My mother-in-law is a senior nurse at a local surgery. She told my wife last night that her surgery - and many others in the region - have been warned to expect considerable side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine. I'm not quite sure what they are, but the surgery was also told as many as 25% of their workforce could be off at once with ill-effects from the vaccine.
No-one in the media seems to have touched upon the side effects? Either way, next year's going to be a logistical nightmare. |  | | |  |

Side effects have been very widely covered and are described as a 'like a hangover'. You also need two doses - so like two bad hangovers
Less widely covered is the relatively poor efficacy. Trials so far on young healthy people are showing 90% efficacy which will plummet on wider use in less than healthy people. Also somewhat unknown is the length of protection, which could be just a few months.
First up for vaccination are the high risk patients with co-morbidities. Many will think they are immune when they are not. Expect a devastating third wave. |
Damn right no-one is reporting relatively poor efficacy. Everyone is reporting the 90% efficacy figure. That does come from a press release so does need to be considered carefully.
However, you are saying that it will plummet in some circumstances, I am interested in that, where is the datafor that? |  |
