No-one can completely eliminate the risk of transmitting the virus, but if the carers are wearing PPE (mask+face shield, gloves and plastic apron) the risk should be pretty minimal - especially if they have been vaccinated as well, so please try not to worry too much. xxwe also have 8 carers entering the home everyday,who come in to contact with their extended families and have shopping trips etc.So I'm really worried,even if the carers get their jabs nobody knows if it can still be transmitted by them.
unfortunately the jabs they are giving are the Pfizer onesIf the Oxford-AstraZeneca no problem, same protocol as for seasonal flu jab
Thanks xNo-one can completely eliminate the risk of transmitting the virus, but if the carers are wearing PPE (mask+face shield, gloves and plastic apron) the risk should be pretty minimal - especially if they have been vaccinated as well, so please try not to worry too much. xx
The Pfizer has a much higher protection rate than the other one so maybe better to have had that one.unfortunately the jabs they are giving are the Pfizer ones
We are not likely to have vaccinations till March. We have very few cases here so I think our government is watching to see if there are any adverse effects from any of the vaccines.My mums bedbound so she couldn't leave the home to get hers,but they say a van will come out,which I assume has a fridge inside.I rang our GP practice again to check when this would happen and they said it was being organised by other people so they couldn't say.I'm mum's carer and I have diabetes,but we also have 8 carers entering the home everyday,who come in to contact with their extended families and have shopping trips etc.So I'm really worried,even if the carers get their jabs nobody knows if it can still be transmitted by them.If it's rolled out as well as the rest of the pandemic was handled I think it's going to be quite shambolic.
Thanks,take careWe are not likely to have vaccinations till March. We have very few cases here so I think our government is watching to see if there are any adverse effects from any of the vaccines.
Our lockdown in Victoria was really tough and went on for weeks. We don't live in Melbourne but those who do did it really hard. There was an 8 pm curfew and you could not travel further than 5 kilometres from home without permits.
But it was worth it. We have had small clusters in Melbourne and Sydney and the inevitable returned travellers in hotel quarantine but the rest of Australia haven't had any cases of community transmission for months.
We are still required to wear masks in larger stores and supermarkets an on public transport but life in many parts of Australia is pretty normal.
We watch what is hapening in UK with great sadness.
