I had my second Moderna jab on Saturday afternoon and felt absolutely awful yesterday, proper flu symptoms, only had enough energy to get out of bed once to make myself a slice of toast. Awful. Feel almost back to normal now though. Didn't get any side effected after the first one though
To COVID vaccine, or not to vaccine? #3

I'm sorry your family member got Covid and passed it on to his wife despite being vaccinated (but glad he didn't end up in hospital) . These cases happen, however studies have shown that the risk of transmitting the virus is very low for people who are vaccinated, so it doesn't only protect yourself... I understand your doubts but individual cases shouldn't be used to generally claim something isn't working / question the efficacy of vaccines or other stuff.
I just got a text from the HSE ahead of my appointment stating that it is important that I attend the appointment and get the vaccine as it also protects against the Delta variant. I didn't get this text last week before deciding to reschedule. They're really pushing it. Also, they're saying it protects against the Delta variant - seems like a bit of a marketing ploy from the HSE. If the vaccine was that strong to the point where it fully protects against the Delta variant, why would Pfizer be working on a "booster" shot? I'm sure it does protect to an extent, but let's not mislead people in order to convince them to get a vaccine.
It’s almost 6 months since I’ve been fully vaccinated with Pfizer as I’m a HCP and also clinically extremely vulnerable and there’s no long term data on how long immunity lasts especially in those of us who are on immunosuppressant medication
Like the annual flu vaccination programme I think the booster dose is to get us in line with the flu vaccination in the Autumn and may be an annual requirement
We just got an update on the return to office for our company. The email started with the vaccine progression statistics. The HSE stated all eligible adults could fully be vaccinated by the end of August. It's implicitly very clear from the email that they expect us to be vaccinated before returning to the office in September. While I believe they would never mandate their staff to get vaccinated, it's obvious the only solution is to get the vaccine if we're due to return in September. Either I remain working from home (which is not an option from the looks of it) or I have to get vaccinated. I can't set a foot in the office unvaccinated and risk my health although antigen testing will be part of the routine (3 times a week). I doubt they'd allow me unvaccinated the way things are going in this country.

Pfizer immunity wanes after 4 month’s according to reports so it wouldn’t be once a year unless there’s a new variant that doesn’t impede the vaccines.
That’s not true there’s hundreds of thousands ( possibly more)fully vaccinated people passing it on according to report’s now coming from the US .
I have a bit of a silly question! I was originally scheduled to get the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. I logged onto the portal and it specifically stated "Pfizer-BioNTech". I logged back in today and it now states " Comirnaty". Is it the exact same as the Pfizer one or a different declination of the Pfizer? I'm pretty sure the vaccine name was amended on the appointment details. I was assured over the phone last week that despite rescheduling my appointment, the vaccine would remain the same. It seems most of the information I found on whether it's the same comes from Singapore or Oz.

Comirnaty is the name of the vaccine that has been developed by Pfizer/Biontech.
When people talk about Pfizer/Biontech or AZ they talk about who is behind it, not the actual name of the vaccine.
Comirnaty is the brand name of the Pfizer vaccine
So do you think I was addressing that quote to you, do you you think the vaccine is 'gene therapy' or are you admitting to being ignorant? If not then why are you butting in?
As it happens you are totally wrong that vaccination protects nobody but you but I wouldn't even attempt to convince you of that fact.
How much would it cut tranmission by please. And dont think im being sarcastic because i go on the conspiracy thread. Im not being im genuinely interested because my husband has had it and i have not. Thank you xx
A couple of articles which explain.
Covid-19: One dose of vaccine cuts risk of passing on infection by as much as 50%, research shows
Adults infected with covid-19 three weeks after receiving one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine were 38-49% less likely to pass the virus on to their household contacts than people who were unvaccinated, a preprint released by Public Health England has shown.1 The...

The poster didn’t specify which variant.
I still haven’t had the vaccine(s).
I’m not antivax, but a few things are putting me off:
Maybe stupid but, gut feeling
The covering up, minimisation, and/or censoring of genuine adverse reactions
The gradual process of making it mandatory (as in, I know it isn’t mandatory per se but the circle closing in on employment, travelling, etc makes me worried?)
I’m not even against having it, I’ve had covid luckily for me it was mild. I hope I don’t come across as ‘selfish’ as that’s the general viewpoint folks are having, more concerned and probably paranoid ...but definitely the adverse reaction and the minimisation it’s facing is quite worrying.

In that case the pandemics over there's barely a trace of the wuhan virus leftThe poster didn’t specify which variant.
oh dear , oh well i will have a look anyway
No i didnt to be fair. Thanks anyway xThe poster didn’t specify which variant.
I was thinking yesterday - why is everyone so on edge about side effects? I got side effects from pretty much all the vaccines I got as a kid. I specifically remember one of them being particularly bad (exponentially swollen and painful red arm, headache, stomach pains and fever). I can't recall which one. I remember discussing side effects from the basic vaccines we got as children with various people last year before these COVID vaccines got authorized. I don't think side effects are reflective of the true risks of the vaccine.
I think there seems to be such a large amount of people developing FND, heart and blood issues after having it is quite worrying
