It gets even more confusing between countries. As far as I know, Spain counts deaths for a week after positive tests. We use 28 days. 

As for definition of vaccinated, it is even more confusing. You do not count as vaccinated the two weeks after your first vaccination, and not on the day of the second vaccination (ONS data). ...

Hi Bodil,

        you do not count as fully vaccinated until 14 days after your second dose, for a two dose vaccine such as Pfizer, Moderna, A-Z. I believe that is because it takes between 7 - 14 days after the second dose to become fully protected.

Hence the 14 days delay in being recognised as fully vaccinated. I think this is/was a standard just about everywhere.

   I do not know what now counts as fully vaccinated since the third dose booster vaccination has become available and whether the 14 days delay applies still to the 3rd dose. 

 I believe in Spain at the moment you are still considered as fully vaccinated if you have had two doses (or one dose of a single dose vaccine). If it has not changed already it likely will in the near future so best to take a booster vaccination at the first opportunity!

I read yesterday that the 3rd booster wanes after 10 weeks. Prof Dame Sarah Gilbert the architect of the AZ vaccine said in December a third dose was only required for the elderly and the people with ongoing health problems. She said it was more important to vaccinated the rest of the world. She ...

...also said the first dose gave you 70% protection and the second dose just topped it up. I don't like the way they keep changing the interval on the periods between dose's. It was 6 months after the second dose now its 12 weeks.

The longer it goes on the more cynical I become.

They did not have sufficient data on the efficacy nor the side effects of the vaccine due to the speed at which they got it on the market.

The 3rd jab has a 14 day delay as well.

Although you can download an updated certificate the following day which shows 3/3. The QR code can’t be read immediately.

So as a note for people having 3rd jabs, don’t destroy your 2/2 certificate, that has the QR code needed by bars/restaurants/travel until the data can be read.
