I think the covid injection uses a larger needle than the one used to administer the flu jab and could be why some people seem to get a sore arm from the covid jab, but I may be misinformed.
I don't know if the needle size is larger for the Covid jab, but I always feel the flu jab much more than the Covid one.
The stuff about needle size is a lot of nonsense, there is no set needle size for particular vaccines. Side effects due to vaccines are commoner in women, which is probably related to differences in immune systems, women have a much higher incidence of autoimmune diseases.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
That’s interesting @punkdoc as I have an autoimmune disease but only had a sore arm from the jab 👍, however I have had surgery for said disease so maybe that helped.
I was up at King's College Hospital last week, and like you @pansyface it was one of the people behind the screen in the pharmacy, who wore a mask. All those I came close to, seemed to be unworried. Going to Guy's Hospital next week, and I suspect it'll be no different there. Even the patient transport crew don't bother now.
@pansyface and @rowlandscastle444, I cannot understand why staff associated with medical facilities are not masking-up properly. (N95/ffp3) Especially as we go towards winter, with the NHS in the position it is in, together with the strikes and the recent COVID mutations that began to be documented this July/August.
It makes no sense to me. In fact, it makes me feel we live in a stupid and uncaring society. I don't expect anything less from the current British government, but I expect more from the NHS in terms of taking a lead with best practice.
Sorry to witness the demise of the forum. 😥😥😥😡😡😡I am Spartacus
