I thought the whole schpeel about AZ is that it affects young people more.
And it’s overblown. Birth control pills have a higher chance of blood clots. But what does that have to do with mixing to mRNA for second shot?

I think if they are going to demonstrate its safety, and the public is worried about its effects on young people, they should pick some young people to demonstrate.
I agree with you, but I’m speaking in terms of marketing/PR.
First they need to get them!
Good article although title doesnt match contents

I mean the headline isnt a match for the article which he probably didnt even bother reading. Also he is wrong as well, there is quite a large audience for a more practical relationship with China
I think a good article and assessment of the situation

Sorry if this has been asked before, but do I need to wait until I receive a text message?

I couldn’t register, and when it did go through it said that I don’t meet the qualifications even though I am 42, and a teacher.
I will be registered in August, as that’s the second wave of vaccination for teachers who didn’t get the chance the first time, at least that’s what I was told by my co-teacher 15 minutes ago.

Isn’t that for registered people who have received the text messages informing them to sign up?

Ahh I see, that makes sense. Well, I guess I’ll get inoculated in August and have to self-test since I have summer camp to attend…
If they have not provided a vaccine to you, cancel it!

I have to get tested 3-7 days before, and school is fine with that since that is what the government regulation states. They said that self-test is fine as well
