Some positive news - initial supplies of the Covid vaccine have now arrived safely in Scotland and are being stored securely. The first vaccinations are on track to be administered on Tuesday.
Exactly pixie. You are of course doing the right thing for your son. I already have difficulty breathing at the best of times and I understand this virus goes straight for the lungs. If that is true and please tell me if it isn't, then my lungs wouldn't last five minutes.
Yes... if I can get hold of them... I also need to ask for myself and my sister as homecarers. They know, unofficially, but I'm not sure what is on the computer systems.
Your Consultant may know more LB as would any specialist treating Pixie's son - GPs on the whole will know as much as we do and have requested that patients wait to be contacted.
Those who has been par of the trials will have been fully monitored for side effects on an ongoing basis so one would hope that any early signs of issues may be known about but not of course any long term ones.
Pregnant ladies for example are being advised to wait until after delivering before having the vaccine as that hasn't had time to be fully tested.
Mamya, i don't think they have (or can) do tests on pregnant humans although of course volunteers may not have known they were pregnant when they received test vaccine. I think that tests on primates are now very tightly limited.
Here’s a thought for you, Maggiebee. Just think if you got your wish and Scotland was out of the UK and in the EU, you wouldn’t have the vaccine. Good old Boris, eh?
