Has anyone here missed one or more days from work after their 2nd vaccine? I was out today -- I'm very tired after my 2nd Pfizer vaccine on Monday. I'm considering taking tomorrow off also -- I'll decide in the morn. I'm just curious as to the experience of others who were in this situation. Thanks.

I'm retired, so didn't miss work, but I wasn't fit to move for about 36 hours after my 2nd Pfizer. The vaccines (both jabs) set off my gallstones, especially the 2nd jab, I was in agony day and night for about 36 hours. I wouldn't have been able to go anywhere.

Tomorrow is my day 10 (wasn’t positive on first test after close contact) yet haven’t had a text for a covid test. Should I just do a walk in?

A colleague never got the text but he checked the portal and his appointment was on there for the next day. Check if you haven't already.

Do you only receive the covid-19 cert when your fully vaccinated?

Hasn't the evidence shown that one shot of pfizer is basically the same as one shot of the janseen vaccine?

Bit odd that someone who gets pfizer has to wait about 4 extra weeks and someone who gets j&j is immediately seen as fully vaccinated

9 people study using bloodwork. Mental that made the editors cut particularly with that headline. There has been two other small scale studies that contradict that directly.

None of these 3 have been peer reviewed so probably needs more analysis to be honest

wow, same here. Mine was after the 2nd shot of Moderna

The fact that so many people are vaccinated is why another lockdown is not going to happen

So now they're telling us how many people in hospital have had the vaccine

If they can give out this information why aren't they telling us the ages and underlying conditions of those in hospitals?

Why aren't they telling us how many are admitted because of Covid or because of something else?

Think I got lucky, got it Monday and still no effects!

Hi gipi. Oh, that was unfortunate. I hope you're better now.

Hi Mimon. I decided early this morn to take a second day off. Down money but health should come first. (:

So yesterday (RTE) they said the Chief Operations Officer with the Health Service Executive Anne O'Connor said one in five people being admitted to hospital who are Covid positive are vaccinated. She said that "even for people who are admitted to hospital, who are vaccinated, their outcomes are better, so they're not becoming as sick, so that is a really positive thing."

I found this particularly interesting - but like Deeper Blue, I'd like more facts behind the statement - how many of the 89 odd in hospital are there because of covid?

"She said not everyone who is being admitted to hospital is being admitted because they are Covid positive, adding that their admission may be for another reason and they happen to be Covid positive as well."

20% being admitted are vaccinated seems a bit high. Did they say if these people were partially or fully vaccinated?

Well it's kind of to be expected if you run the numbers.

At any given time, a certain number of vaccinated people will get infected. As the number of vaccinated people goes up, the share of infected people who are also vaccinated, goes up. The key metric is the total # in hospital, not the percent of hospitalisations who are vaccinated.

"How many are in hospital only because of Covid vs those that tested positive while in hospital?"

It was possible to work this out up to the point of the hack. You could never find out exactly how many were admitted because of covid and how many were admitted with covid, but you could at least work out how many tested positive without being a new admission (i.e. picked it up in hospital).

It was running pretty solidly at 40%, but the vaccination programme has likely changed all that. Without the data though it's impossible to say.
