anyone know what the chances of a double-jabbed 17 year old being able to get a booster is?

It may depend where you are - e.g. there are several walk-ins apparently offering boosters to 16/17 year olds in Tower Hamlets towerhamlets.gov.uk |

3 X pfizered as of this morning! Took chocolate for the vaccinators. Incredible throughput happening there (went to one of the big centres at GSTT).

Anyone feeling that we're subtly being engineered into a Christmas lockdown by stealth to avoid the PM's blushes? HRH cancelling a meal will be a huge signal to loads of those who follow her that their family should do the same. I'd much prefer the politicians to stand up and say so if that's the case. |

Ref clarity of LFTs. I've only seen two positives, but one was clear as a bell and the other was pretty close. The instructions for all of the LFTs suggest a faint line is a positive too, but if I did get a faint LFT positive I'd be testing myself again but making certain I did everything entirely by the book (I'm a bit slack with the "clean your area, wash your hands, time a minute, x swipes etc")

A colleague of mine got the faintest of lines on a LFT so got a PCR - negative.

I'm sorry that people's plans are being disrupted again. mathschick - does he have an underlying health condition, work in health or social care or live with someone immunocompromised/CEV? If so we'd boost him. Walked the dog this morning, something I miss when I start work at 0730hrs, and am just back from a run and feel so much better. Hopefully ticking a few jobs off the list this afternoon will help me feel more in control. I should stay off the internet when tired really rather than come on here and moan. I'm choosing to do this after all. |
