XTreme Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 22 minutes ago, Tango said: My missus has just had a Pfizer booster jab because she had the Jansen (J&J) shot originally. It's being offered to everyone that had the Jansen vaccine here. They're also rolling out boosters for "at risk" people and over 65's that have previously been double jabbed. If Spain do the same I'll be getting another one then! Was there a problem with the Jansen for them to need another jab? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 They started on boosters where Im from two weeks ago and not specific to your previous jab. My friend and her sister (late 60's) have had theirs already, no real underlying health problems, both Oxford Astrazenica last time World situation aside its a good thing to get on with the boosters before winter sets in and cases increase methinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a report here that said that people that had the Jansen are over-represented in the ICU cases, so they've decided to offer booster jabs for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise here, the number of deaths divided into vaccinated or not are not published. I saw the news here the other day and the doctors stated that every patient in the ICU was unvaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meant to have the Astra Zeneca jab, but the vaccination centre that I booked my appointment at only did Pfizer, so I got that instead, so I think it was the same in the UK. It all depended on where you got the vaccination done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 It seems that here in Wales the boosters won't be Astra Zeneca but one of the other two, Pfizer or Moderna I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if the AZ is not so good with the Delta variant. I heard from my boys that my ex is quite ill with Covid at the moment and she is double vaccinated. She works in a primary school, so it didn't take long after the schools went back for it to start spreading at a rate again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not idea......but I did see stats saying that after 6 months Pfizer is about 75% effective whereas AZ is only about 60%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
