All that sounds like the flu.Warning over UK vaccine rollout as two NHS staff given jab suffer 'anaphylactic reaction': Regulators urge people with history of 'significant' allergies NOT to have Pfizer injection - just 24 hours after Britain's mass inoculation kicked off
The UK's world-first Covid-19 vaccine rollout has hit problems within 24 hours after anyone with a serious allergy to medicines or food was warned not to have the Pfizer jab because two NHS staff fell ill on V-Day.
- Both the people are recovering following the first day of the mass vaccination programme, it is understood
- The NHS in England said that all the trusts involved with the vaccination programme have been informed
- MHRA has given advice anyone who has a history of 'significant' allergic reactions should not get the vaccine
The number of people set to be barred from having the Pfizer jab is not known, but up to 7million people in Britain have have allergies severe enough to require specialist allergy care, according to the NHS, while around 250,000 people need to carry an EpiPen.
Both the unnamed healthcare workers, who carried EpiPens, are recovering from reactions suffered shortly after their injections on the first day of Britain's biggest ever mass vaccination programme.

So very sad and so very unnecessarySome not so good news on the corona front up here. We were fairly isolated from the major outbreaks in s Ontario until a nurse in a seniors home traveled there and didn't follow the mandatory 14 day isolation protocol upon her return. She went straight back to work and within a week over 40 staff and residents were infected. That was 3 weeks ago. They just announced the 11th death in that facility today. Sad.
One would assume that a fancy lawyer will be summoning up the families of those 11 people to sue the nurse for negligence and push to have her charged with murder if she can be directly tied to their deaths.Some not so good news on the corona front up here.

I get it, you're very pro vitamin D, selenium, and zinc. What do you think about a cod liver oil gel tablet? They're relatively cheap and easy to take. I could probably choke one of those down. I haven't missed my vitamin supplement, not even one time, since you said all that about Vitamin D, selenium, and zinc. I'm kind of iffy about the melatonin right nowOne would assume that a fancy lawyer will be summoning up the families of those 11 people to sue the nurse for negligence and push to have her charged with murder if she can be directly tied to their deaths.
And it is this stupid, arrogant and total carelessness is why we need TREATMENTS more than we need the vaccine. How many more have to die?
Every resident in every retirement/care facility should probably be on Vitamin D, probably also taking Selenium, Zinc and possibly Melatonin. Those are simple. And there is enough evidence for ALL 4 of those as being beneficial that anyone who doesn't have an issue with drug interactions should probably take all those supplements.
Now we have STRONG evidence for Intermectin, a common drug that is so readily available its used in barns to treat horses by stable hands. It's been around for decades, it is cheap, it is available world wide and under a doctor's care it appears to be very effective for treating and curing Covid-19. Vitamin D, in IV form, has also been shown to be an effective treatment for Covid-19 in many patients.
But we are chasing multi-billion dollar vaccines when we have cheap cures. I'm not anti-vaccine and plan to take at least 1 of them, possibly multiple vaccines against Covid-19 as per my doctor's suggestion. But I'm baffled by the continued deaths as we ignore treatments and chase vaccines.
FROM the WALL STREET JOURNAL:
Vaccines Are Coming but They Won’t End Covid-19 Anytime Soon
In the Philippines, inoculating the necessary 60 million to 70 million people could take up to five years, officials say
ByDec. 13, 2020 8:00 am ETListen to this article6 minutesAs Covid-19 vaccine development picks up pace, the Philippines has drawn up an immunization plan. The bottom line, officials say: Getting doses to enough of the population to rein in the virus will take two to five years.That is the forecast for reaching the target of 60 million to 70 million of the country’s nearly 110 million people, they say, using a patchwork of vaccines from different suppliers. So far the Philippines has struck just one vaccine deal, for 2.6 million shots—enough for 1.3 million people.Manila’s early blueprint is a reality check for those expecting a swift vaccine-driven end to the pandemic and revival of global trade and travel. While some countries may be able to get shots to large portions of their populations in 2021, some in the developing world may be years away from protecting more than their highest-risk populations.That means the virus will continue to circulate and claim lives in various corners of the map. Some global health specialists worry about a future in which the coronavirus lurks in such places, becoming endemic—and perhaps evolving in ways that make current vaccines less effective.
“There’s no point having products that do not reach the majority of the world’s population,” said Soumya Swaminathan, chief scientist of the World Health Organization. She cited the hepatitis B vaccine, saying it took 30 years after its introduction in rich countries to reach low- and middle-income countries.Only one disease—smallpox—has ever been eradicated from the human population using a vaccine.
I don’t think about cod liver oil. I don’t even think about the supplements I take. I study facts. I read medical reports. I listen to doctors who know far more than I.I get it, you're very pro vitamin D, selenium, and zinc. What do you think about a cod liver oil gel tablet? They're relatively cheap and easy to take.

That's good!Of the 7 that were on our covid unit, 5 are good to go testing negative now.
That's good news for us.
It's NOTHING like it was during the first wave.
That said, vaccines are coming soon, first to area hospitals, then us.
They've been saying our medic friends from the national guard will be administering them.
In our experience it's been anywhere between a couple of weeks to a little over a month.That's good!
How long does it normally take to go from positive to negative?
Mercy Health (St. V) in Toledo received their first shipment today.My brother will get the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday. He works for a hospital group, while not front line, he is deemed essential to their operation.
