A single shot of either the Oxford-AstraZeneca or the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid jab reduces the chance of needing hospital treatment by more than 80%, an analysis in England shows.
The Public Health England data showed the effect kicked in three to four weeks after vaccination.
It was based on people aged over 80 who were the first to receive the jab.
Government scientists hailed the result, but stressed that two doses were needed for the best protection.
It comes after similar findings were published by Scottish health authorities last week, which they hailed as "spectacular".

Maj Robert Thornton - I was told that it had to be given within 42 of the first shot.

SSG Laurie Mullen I understand what they say but I know what some of the latest research is showing. One of the docs at the clinic does an update every week on the latest numbers and research out there. I believe this week his topics should include 2 research studies which, so far, have not seen the ability to transmit the virus after 2 weeks after the second shot.

Maj Robert Thornton - The info seems to change day by day. In my state there is a school(?) that is offering the first and second dose on the same day.

I wonder if there's going to be a maintenance plan where you get the shot on a yearly basis like the flu shot. It's way too early to tell but I can see things going in that direction.

With the news that variants are springing up with resistance to the vaccine, odds are yes. The good news is that the mRNA vaccines will not have to go through trials again. It is literally accouple of key strikes and the formula is shifted to combat the variant. (GF works in Bio Tech and is well versed in this stuff).

CW3 Kevin Storm in bio tech? Herd immunity is the way to treat it you quarantine the sick not healthy, but if she is quite versed ask here how it can be tested in the same swab as the flu now

Still won’t take it. I don’t trust the government enough. Unproven, and untested.

You shouldn’t Spc Ward, at first they said you have to be negative if flus a and b to have COVID-19, now they are testing on the same swab? How is that possible. COVID-19 was biological weapon used to enact a coup

Also I recommend for everyone to review VAERS documents. The side effects and 180+ deaths in January/February alone is appalling. Look at statistics for the Pfizer vaccine having a 2-3 time potential to cause appendicitis.

SGT Rebecca Farrar I’m pretty sure sometime between 1998-2001 that the US and the World Health Organization where spreading a pretty deadly virus called Ebola in North Africa and between then and the second gulf war I’m pretty positive the coronavirus was released by the U.S giving many veterans Mers and SARS. I wasn’t around for the second but I would be surprised
