Don't care which vaccine, my antibody test has just come, such a coward at taking my own blood, and not a "bleeder",will have to make sure my hands are nice and warm!! (Signed up 4 months ago to St Marys Hospital London for the covid/vit D trial, thought it all helps, but youngest daughter also signed up. Asked her if she would be OK, with the blood thing, she reminded me she is full of piercings!!!
It's a good idea to finger prick each other. In spite of knowing what you need to do most people will not jab themselves hard enough, to get a good flow. - I speak from experience here, in the bad old days we used to take small amounts of blood in the lab ourselves, wouldn't be allowed now 😄
Is anyone worried about which vaccine they get? Im getting vaccine Wednesday but don't know which one?
Yes. If I had a choice it would be Pfizer, the Astra has a small amount of ‘live’. Which is ok for most people if they’re fit. I’m worried more for son, I had looked on the net, I know, I shouldn’t, but they haven’t done any testing yet in certain areas. Found this which is quite worrying. my son is really looking forward to it, I keep trying to tell him it’s not to be relied on to that much extent. As he’s 52 I don’t have a say though.
QUOTE. “The UK government has said that adults who have a weakened immune system ('immunocompromised') should get a COVID-19 vaccine as a matter of priority. They say this includes people having stem cell transplants, and adults receiving alemtuzumab, ofatumumab or rituximab. This doesn’t guarantee the vaccine will be completely effective if you take these treatments, but you will get priority if you and your MS team agree it’s right for you. Now a vaccine has been approved, there will be lots more information coming out about possible side effects and anyone who should avoid or delay taking that particular vaccine. We’ll keep up to date with any changes.”
Let’s just hope the team know all the facts. We can only trust in them, it’s a bit worrying though.

Thanks Ben, same really but worded slightly different to the one I read. They haven’t tested any of it on people with severely immunosuppression diseases. Whilst they say it won’t harm them, it may not do much good either, meaning they’re still at risk from others who won’t have the vaccine or people who’ve had the first one and think they can go out partying.
