I'm not an Antivaxxer by any means in fact I had my Flu jab the other day. The way this has been rushed out without the volume of testing normally required is worrying.

Hi Russ, I wonder if it's just a precaution covering their backsides so to speak?

I found out something today, I wondered why the vaccine has been approved for use in the UK and not in the EU.

It would appear that MRHA handled all new drug approval EU wide, however this is not the case in the post Brexit era and is only for inhouse approval.

I'm certainly not an antivaxer by any stretch of the imagination, and it was a question I asked Chris over tea, as to whether or not vaccination was necessary in the case of recovered covid sufferers.

She was rather non committal, saying this may be like chicken pox, but the reality is I suspect no one really knows.

The approval and announced vaccine roll out came too late to ask the question at the OH study clinic we are attending at the RVI, but I'll be asking when I'm next there.

According to the last set of bloods taken, my CD8 T cells appear to have a memory phenotype which appears to bode well for long term immunity in the view of those conducting the study.

I don't have the answers, there is only so much information you can absorb over a fifteen minute consult, and those conducting the study are very enthusiastic and often forget to speak in layman terms, especially when talking with Chris.

Only time will tell I suppose.
