Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Some good news,

Scotland could have "vaccinated its way back to normal" by next Spring, Nicola Sturgeon said today as she hailed progress on a Covid jab, and also said that the mass vaccination programme could possibly start before Christmas, sooner than expected.

It comes after a lucky dosing error in the Oxford vaccine trials found people initially given a half-strength coronavirus jab were better protected.

The lucky error means the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine has hit a 90 per cent protection rate, and the lower dose will also result in fewer health effects like headaches.

On Monday scientists revealed that the Oxford vaccine had an overall efficacy of 70 per cent, but this jumped to 90 per cent when administered as a half dose followed by a full dose one month later.

Christmas can pass Me by this Year and I'll be happy to celebrate it in May/June next year when Everyone has been vaccinated, and We can hug & kiss Our loved ones without fear again

Roxy they did say you can visit A&E if you cant see your GP. May that's good news about the vaccine, I wonder when we'll get it. I'm going to my nieces for Christmas as usual.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

That sounds good May, fingers crossed. I'm going to phone the doctor again first thing tomorrow and get a phone appointment, Himself is going to speak to her as well and hopefully she will put me for a scan, if not I guess we may just do as you say and land up on the doorstep of A&E.

The pain has lessened a bit, hope this is the case, am going to swim Mon, Wed, Fri just now and see how it goes. Have another phone appointment with the Doctor this afternoon, she what she says this time..

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Still waiting for my doctor to phone, I spoke to the receptionist at just past 8am, thought she'd have phoned by now. Hope she calls soon.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Ordered some goodies like icecream & choc' biscuits with My order tomorrow...well..I've been good long enough

Hope Your doc' phoned Rox?..I've never spoken to Mine on the phone,but I suppose I may have to some day.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Finally phoned, we had a good long chat. She wants me to see a Physio Therapist who will go right into this with me. If she/he thinks I need a scan then she/he will arrange it. Got some more Naproxen and I've to keep going swimming every 2nd day. AND not to overdo it. I hardly think 20 lengths out of my usual 50 is over doing it, but she did. Hhhuummpphhhh.
