therock Supersonic February 8, 2021 Author Share February 8, 2021 Someone asked me this recently, can you pull a tad less or almost exact and milk another dose out of the vials? No... it's not like the mee pok man.. who loves to pull a bit of the noodles back, bit by bit and then use it for another customer.. Each syringe is measured and there are markings on the syringe. It's checked ok... ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic February 17, 2021 Author Share February 17, 2021 Moderna or Pfizer? You'll know, because the second does is either 3 weeks (Pfizer) or 4 weeks (Moderna) If you start conversing well in Mandarin, well you might have got the Chinese one instead 😉 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic February 18, 2021 Author Share February 18, 2021 Thought of sharing with you this story A friend had his 2nd dose of the vaccine at the vaccination center after which he began to have blurred vision on the way home. When he got home, he called the vaccination center for advice and to ask if he should go see a doctor, or be hospitalised. He was asked to go back to the vaccination center immediately as he had left his glasses behind... 😂 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravinged 5th Gear February 19, 2021 Share February 19, 2021 On 2/4/2021 at 8:12 PM, Tohto said: My daughter had her first jab last Sunday at Woodlands Galaxy CC. From registration till completed the whole monitoring process only 40mins. Fast and easy. No side effect except 2nd day hand a bit sore like any others vaccination. 3rd day ok already. Took my first jab at the same place too. Friendly staff from Fullerton and I was out of that place in 40mins flat just like you said. Second jab upcoming soon. For those afraid of needles and hesitating, I will just add on to say this jab is a very quick split-second poke. It is not those type of injections that is slowwwwly done. So you need not be too afraid of the injection process. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic February 25, 2021 Author Share February 25, 2021 Pfizer for the win: https://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/large-real-world-study-confirms-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-94-effective Quote WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine has proven 94 per cent effective in a study involving 1.2 million people in Israel, the first peer-reviewed real world research confirming the power of mass immunisation campaigns to bring the pandemic to a close. The paper, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday (Feb 25), also demonstrated there is likely a strong protective benefit against infection, a crucial element in breaking onward transmission. "The fact that the vaccines worked so well in the real world... really does suggest that if the nations of the world can find the will, we now have the means to end Covid-19 forever," said Ben Neuman, a virologist from Texas A&M University who was not involved in the research. The experiment was carried out between Dec 20 2020 and Feb 1, 2021 - a period when a newer variant first identified in Britain was rampant in Israel, making the vaccine's performance all the more impressive. Around 1.2 million people were divided into equal groups of vaccinated and unvaccinated. Each vaccinated participant was matched to an unvaccinated "control" person of similar age, sex, geographic, medical and other characteristics. Lead author Noam Barda, head of epidemiology and research at the Clalit Research Institute, told AFP the matching process was highly robust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic February 25, 2021 Author Share February 25, 2021 https://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/transplant-patient-dies-after-receiving-lungs-infected-with-coronavirus Quote NEW YORK (NYTIMES) - A woman in Michigan died 61 days after she received a pair of lungs from an organ donor who had been infected with the coronavirus, according to a case report published this month. There was no indication that the donor, a woman fatally injured in a car accident, had Covid-19. A radiograph of her chest had seemed clear, and a nasal-swab test for the coronavirus had returned a negative result. But the doctors who worked with the lung recipient at University Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, last fall began to question those results when their patient's condition worsened. They concluded that the donor did indeed have Covid-19 - and that her lungs had infected not only the transplant patient, but also the surgeon. It was the first confirmed case of a patient contracting the virus from the patient's organ donor, according to the authors of the peer-reviewed report, which was published in The American Journal of Transplantation on Feb 10. "We want the transplant community to be aware that this can happen, and also that there may be things we can do to improve our success in screening patients for Covid," said the surgeon, Dr Jules Lin, an author of the report and the surgical director of the lung transplant programme at Michigan Medicine, the health system of the University of Michigan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take some, and your arm will be pretty sore, so don't try and do too many things. Even carrying a kettle was sore... Oh and you can see that Pfizer, Modern and Sinovac were previously in the government's plans.. Let's see how it pans out.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
