TigerBright19 Posted April 19, 2021 #2304 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) People aged over 35 here in Northern Ireland can now get the vaccine. Does anyone know why we are being offered the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine, yet people aged under 30 will soon be offered an alternative choice of vaccine? Why do they get a choice, but we don't? I've heard mixed opinions of the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine. I had booked an appointment for this Thursday but I cancelled it because there seems to be growing concerns about it, and I'd rather wait and hope that I can select an alternative vaccine in the future rather than taking the first one that is offered. Does anyone know why under 30's are to be given a choice of vaccine? That alone makes me cast doubt on getting the current one.

I've heard mixed opinions of the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine.

Does anyone know why under 30's are to be given a choice of vaccine? That alone makes me cast doubt on getting the current one. Because any potential risk of abnormal clotting is far more likely in the under 30s, albeit still incredibly unlikely (~11 in a million). The odds of a healthy 25 year old dying of covid are 22 in a million. For people in their 30s, the first number is lower and the second higher. Take the jab, it's much safer than not.

This article had me raise concerns (highlighted bits in red). I want the vaccine, just one that has good PR and fills me with confidence. I took for granted that the alternatives would be offered, or even for sale, but it appears that the UK will only switch to an alternative after it has used up its current stockpile of AstraZeneca. I probably will end up getting that one. Just wish I had a choice. It's natural to expect the very best on offer.

Eldorado Posted April 30, 2021 #2320 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Distrust in the medical industry has led to the lower uptake of the Covid vaccine among Africans in Scotland, according to a human rights campaigner. Mukami McCrum said "unethical practices" by companies in Africa left many "scared" to take the vaccine. Public Health Scotland estimates 72% of Africans aged over 50 have had their first jab.
