Correct. Not much confirmed about any of the side effects, the list is just anything that might be wrong with anyone ever to be honest. Some people say if you're bad it means you had it, some say if it's bad it's good as it means it is working etc etc etc.

All was just noise to be honest, she's never ill, works through everything and this kept her in bed for 24 hours. Is what it is, like you say - lots of people are saying they've suffered from it.

Hi
been a month since the last posting so just wondering how things are going on the ground with vaccine numbers, cases etc. Must also be a number of people getting their second shot.
Thanks

UKMS

7.3 million doses and as far as I’m aware almost everyone has the 2nd jab at 3 weeks as there are no delays.

infections still running around +/- 2000 per day it’s been fluctuating above and below.

vaccinations now open to any resident above the age of 16.

vaccine stats are here https://covid19.ncema.gov.ae/en

Anyone had an antibodies test? I have and it was very low, 3 months after the second dose.

UKMS

I haven’t yet .... what vaccine did you have ? .... I was reading a couple of days ago that they have sufficient stocks of sinopharm to start giving 3rd boosters to vulnerable groups.

It was the sinopharm, I’m trying to get a booster this week.

I was told by someone yesterday that if the antibodies test was low they're giving one of the other vaccines to those who had Sino

I asked the GP this morning and should said no, DOH circular, this is AD.

We are being told at work to not take the test as they are so unreliable.

2 dose done on Sunday. In bed all day on Monday shivering and feeling like shit. All done and ready to go. Love the UAE.

ever heard the expression throwing good money after bad?

Nice work.
Got my second jab in 6 weeks or so.

Do you get any sort of certificate other than the one in the app / emailed to you?

Pongo

A booster of some description will probably be required for all the vaccines sooner or later.

Millhouse

yes, although none of the others are discussing this only six months in.

I downloaded mine off the internet using the MFN and a OTP number to my phone. Had hoped for an NHS sticker like Boris got but alas no.
