  • It's useful to see that the booster has been recorded on your medical record. Having seen the immediate showing of the original two jabs, it was a little disconcerting to see that the booster wasn't there and to hear that there was a design fault in the app that prevented it. The app may turn out to be more important in future than it is now. If there comes a time when we feel like travelling abroad, although I can't imagine it now, some countries will not allow entry because they require proof of a vaccination within the last 6 months. Austria has now become the first country to make vaccinations compulsory, so it would be an issue there. As it happens, Austria is the country we would be most likely to visit first once normal life resumes, because we usually go each year before Xmas. I can't as yet envisage a time when I use a covid pass in the UK, but there have been plenty of other things I couldn't envisage about covid that we now do as a matter of course.

    I had not realised how fortunate I am. I had booked my booster for yesterday in Kettering but then to chose to cancel because it is 15 miles away. Instead I went to the walk in clinic in Oakham which is less than half the distance. Within 30 minutes’ driving radius, and we live in a fairly rural location, I think there are a dozen vaccination centres.

    So far, touch wood, I’ve had no adverse effects at all.

    Over here the Covid Pass comes in paper form but can be loaded onto a smart phone.  I have had to download a Covid Pass reader app to check all the ladies at patch/needlework club are up-to-date.  It can read a QR code to say double vaccinated or exempt for medical reasons but with a negative PCR test.

    We are checked at dance class, mosaic club and whenever we go to a coffee bar or restaurant.  Also required for any club/sporting/social activity and public transport.  

    Not difficult to do and very easy to download the necessary info and app so I don't see why anyone thinks it's a problem.

    I don't think I'll be going anywhere that needs a COVID pass, but it's nice to know that I have it in case it becomes needed more widely.

    I had to show my vaccination card at the Hampton Court flower show, I've had to show proof of a negative test at the Albert Hall and OH the same at Alexandra Palace. All of these would now be covered by the pass, and it's handy to have it on my phone, especially as in the case of Hampton Court I didn't realise in advance so it was just lucky I had the card with me.

    Maybe this should be on curmudgeons corner. Papers today, former school governor,mental health workers. Anyivaxx brigade targeting school children. Telling them the will loose limbs,die, become infertile. Now even if the latter was true,if you're telling 12 year old kids this, surely you would have to follow them for at least the next 20 years to see if that was actually true. Then you have Dr Irfan Halim, consultant surgeon,45 years old. Isolated from his family for 4 months working on Covid wards, double jabbed. Caught Covid just 6 days before the booster roll out. Was ill 9 weeks and very sadly died from it. When my hubby gets the papers,you will hear him screaming and shouting as far away as Scotland

    There must be a few million people walking around with limbs missing by now,  vaccinations have been out for a year.
    Pity it doesn’t cause infertility in some cases,  that would solve a few problems.
    My step daughter is pregnant, they had they’re jabs many months ago.

    How about a counter - rumour?

    I like that B3. Woman 35 in today's papers,antivaxxer,got Covid,had 11 cardiac arrests and sepsis. She ain't anti any more!!!
  • !! cardiac arrests and still lively enough to suffer from sepsis ??  That is some woman @Nanny Beach .
    Thinking about it, that's probably a tale the anti vaccers could use -  Hey look at me - no vaccine and survived multiple cardiac arrests - way to go !!  ;)
