Pfizer readily available at Homebush

Just wanted to let people know that Pfizer shots are available either the same day or within a couple of days .

I would think not for over 60’s though.

 

In the famous words of Marie Antoinette

"Let them eat cake!"

 

Homebush as in '1 Figtree drive, Olympic Park'?

 

Dang I went and had AZ the other day.

 

You will be right dats....it lasts better long term it seems and we will be doing this all again soon enough I bet...

 

You've covered both ends of the alphabet, the virus is only up to Delta - you'll be right for yonks.

 

Not only will he be right for the Yonks strain, he also has protection from the Zeta one...lol...

You watch some conspiracy start from this thread...

 

nothing wrong with AZ . Pretty close to 100 % effective at stopping you end up in ICU or dying. So far as I’ve , the doubles vaxed people who’ve died have been over 80 and had other serious health issues , an in that situation a bad flu can be fatal .

@datto , I assume that you’re not over 80 and outside your liver , you’re ok ??

no , there’s a whole pile of people under 18 who can’t have AZ who will prioritised over those over 60 who don’t think AZ is good enough for them …

I’ve seen lots of people holding out for Pfizer , saying that they don’t go any where so they’re not at risk , but I’ve seen a few people in this group who’ve got sick and had to go to hospital.

Also you have to go somewhere to get you’re vaccination . One of my kids who was holding out for Pfizer , went in for AZ only to be messaged two days later that someone at the pharmacy that days had just tested positive …

There still seems to be a lot of hesitancy to get the AZ. Personally I'm happy that I had that instead of the Pfizer.

 

A relative (under 40) booked and went there last week. They waited at the wrong place because there were 2 vax centres in Homebush. After an hour getting to the front of the queue, they scanned the code and told the booking was at the nearby centre. Went there and there was no queue and got the jab in less than 5 mins.

 

Interesting study on mixing vaccines. Was even suggesting it may be beneficial.


newsGP - Mixing COVID vaccines could result in stronger immune response

 

At the first centre, each time I went there were 3 queues, each for different time groups (e.g. 3.15pm, 3.30pm, 3.45pm) and the queues were on 2 different sides of the venue. You had to make sure you were in the correct queue. I'm surprised nobody checked your relo.

 

I would do that but it may not be accepted as proof of vaccination for all overseas travel destinations.

 

Probably not unless it becomes allowed as proof of vaccination .

 

I spoke to a number that did just that, I was trying to tell them if they get covid in the interim, the side effects are worse than any likely vaccine side effect, still, it was fried on the brain...

I know someone else still holding off, but they do have other issues, but seems a big risk to hold off....

And then there is the brigade that think it is all fake, a conspiracy or just do not like doing anything they are told they should....no help for them, as the Danish guy said, the virus will seek them out....

 

I think I'm fine. Although I have seen a GI surgeon who wants to "rip my gallbladder out and throw it in the bin" lol

 

I like the quote from Jason Isbell , an alt country star who is going to require all people at his concerts to be vaccinated

I'm all for freedom, but if you're dead, you don't have any freedoms at all.
