It's been pushed through and we have no idea if it will be effective against new strains or if we will need to have booster vaccines every few months indefinitely.

Don't think this was reported on the news in Ireland or the UK. Like yourself I am waiting to see more evidence about the vaccines long term effects on people.

Instead we get to spend it here, where it will be on average -22C and snowing.<br /><br />Don't even get me started on the vaccines. I'm a nurse in an acute care hospital. My first dose was supposed to be this week, but it was cancelled due to a vaccine shortage. My dose has been redirected to be a second dose for the nursing home system. Here's where I'm going to be very unpopular. Vaccinate the staff in nursing homes. I worked in those homes for the first five years of my nursing life. We had entire wards of people who never saw a visitor. Not Christmas, New Years, or Birthdays. Or they had one visitor a year. It chaps my hide when I see famlies bleating on the news that they haven't been able to see X, since before Covid. As a pal who still works nursing homes said, they haven't been in for years, but now that they can't it's urgent.<br />50 and countinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051116860123693646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-63359113543521961662021-01-27T09:59:50.264-07:002021-01-27T09:59:50.264-07:00Hi Linda.

Children will need alot smaller doses and the drugs are not licensed to give it to them. It's clear like mud. Thanks.

I'm not that old yet! Still think it will be May before we get it. School children, so they say,arent a big risk of catching it so they'll come last.
