There will always be people that cannot have the vaccination for good reason but, if those who can have it refuse it, they may catch it, pass it to others and reduce the hospital beds for those who can't have it.
If Mups couldn't care for herself or her dogs, she must have been ill. I know that she found it difficult to get to the phone from her bed & in those circumstances most of us would have been scared.

Swim I know she didn't suffer Anaphalaxtic Reaction, but there are always people who suffer from other reactions to medicines, so she would be justified in refusing the second jab if the first made her so ill.

The whole point of vaccinations is to reduce the number of people who catch this virus, to prevent it spreading to others, not cause further health problems to those who have shown it makes them ill.
It is the people who won't have it, just because they don't believe they need it, that will prevent us reducing the threat of this virus & killing many more people!

Good point OGF, but a smoker never expects to get cancer, alcoholics never expect to get liver disease............you're being offered the chance NOT to get covid and you're not taking it! A preventative alternative is being offered..........

I must say Lindy, I don't know Foxy's reasons if he doesn't want the vaccine, but I am sure he has them.

I do know that after having my first jab I was so ill I got carted off to hospital in an ambulance and was kept there for tests all day long.

Nothing was found, so the docs put it down to a severe bad reaction. I spent the next three days in bed with neighbours coming in to help with the animals.

So I can assure you I have very valid reason for being very, very wary of having any second jab.

So sorry to hear of your reaction Mups, I didn't realise you had spent time in hospital as a result. I wished I lived a bit nearer so I could have helped out....
I also had a bad reaction to the flu jab back in 1972 and that's one of the reasons I never had the flu jab ever again. I hope you are feeling better now Mups, and wish you well in whatever you decide to do about the second jab.......

But what if it's not, Spitty?
You gonna come down and look after me?

All of us blokes will..... have you got a big telly?

Second one should be a breeze, the body knows what to expect.
