We will have yours ! all drugs have side effects,  typical eu remainer types, so you might get clots,  but you could easily die from covid especially if your over 50 , get the vaccine,  24 million with very little problems in Britain.  

Seems a bit of a strange comment "typical EU remainer types"  I dont understand the context this is used in. Most of the comments on here are in favour of the vaccine. Most of the people on the forum will probably be "EU remainers" working on the fact that we HAVE remained by Spanish residency.

It's the attitude of the eu countries,  slow to roll out vaccines,  then they said they didn't work , now saying bad side effects,  then England putting blockade on them, now clots ,  like I say again there is always side effects,  unless the eu ups its game this thing is will last possible into next year , I can only go by experience,  so far over 300 of my work mates have had vaccine,  no side effects, so far ! Apart from stiff arms.

Ok. Maybe just wrong terminology. I agree with everything else. EU countries slow to roll out the vaccine. Especially Spain! Lots of my friends and family had the vaccine in UK and no major side effects. The EU remainers have no control over the situation here. I would say too many autonomous communities cause the problem. This should be centralised.

The latest information from N332.

11TH UPDATE OF THE COVID19 RESTRICTIONS GUIDE

We publish the eleventh update of this guide, motivated by the new regulations issued on the 12th of March by the Generalitat Valenciana, which modifies and extends the restrictions in force, from the 15th of March until the 12th of April 2021 (both dates inclusive).

The most important changes introduced are:

1. Bars and restaurants: 

Indoor service in bars and restaurants is permitted until 18:00 hours, up to 30% capacity, and terraces 100%, with 4 people per table, who must wear masks except when eating or drinking. Service at the bar is not allowed.

2. Educational and children's leisure activities have resumed. 

3. The use of face masks on beaches and in swimming pools has been clarified; it is mandatory except while bathing.

4. Sports facilities (gyms, etc.) can open until 20:00 hours, at 30% capacity. The use of a face mask is mandatory.

5. Travelling shows (such as circuses and parades) are not allowed.

The following restrictions remain in force:

a) Perimeter confinement of the Valencian Community.

b) Curfew from 22:00 until 6:00 hours.

c) Gatherings in the street or in enclosed areas are limited to a single household or a maximum of 4 people if they are not from the same household. Meetings of non-cohabitants in private homes is still prohibited. 

d) Retail and shops close at 20:00 hours, except for essential services.

e) Parks and gardens should be closed during curfew (currently from 22:00 until 6:00). 

The complete guide can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format on the following link: http://bit.ly/38DSDbT

In light blue we have highlighted the modifications that have been made from the 10th version of the guide.

If you check out FDA you will find that the vaccine was rolled out this fast because it was given emergency authorisation, and we have just been notified here in Ireland that AstraZeneca is suspended temporarily as there will need to be some investigation into a few reports of blood clots, also D...

...enmark, Austria plus few more have also suspended for the moment, 


I am not at all trying to be awkward, I hope and pray that this vaccine plus the other vaccines are safe, do you actually think I would not want the best for my health, I have husband and three healthy children and I want what’s best obviously 


so fingers crossed all will turn out ok

FDA is the US approval authority, they may have given emergency approval of vaccines I don't know, this is not the case in the UK or Europe. 

You need to do what you think is best for your family. In my view the vaccines are safe and saving lives, the bigger the take up the better it will be for us all. If you are worried about one vaccine in particular then you can request another.

 Covid deaths continuing to drop in the UK, particularly among the elderly (who have mostly been vaccinated), 52 reported today, the lowest figure since October 2020.  

Aitch.

I had the Astra vaccination at the beginning of February. I am 67 years old and the only side effects was feeling a little off colour the next day (the same for my wife). I am now happily awaiting my second shot in a few weeks. If you look at the data and not the scaremongering, about its effectiveness, just look at the figures for the UK. The death rate and hospitalization figures are now low and lowering by the day. 

This blod clot nonsense, being banded by the French, German leaders, will yet again embarrass them in the coming weeks, just like it did when they stated it had only limited effectiveness. Which they retracted a few weeks later, but this set peoples minds wondering. Every day this vaccine is being held back, will mean more people will be hospitalised and or dead. Same on these so called leaders. I have looked at the data for blood clots and the figures are less that the normal number of cases each year, prior to covid19 vaccinations. I really believe politics are coming into play here. If countires do not want the Astra vaccine, stop moaning about the shortfalls in supply and if not wanted, give them to countries who will use them.

I really hope this horrible epidemic finally comes to an end soon.

I am hoping to visit my property in Spain by the summer.

Stay safe one and all and please get your vaccine when offered.

Don't you think there is a bit of 'damned if you do' and 'damned if you don't' here.

There was a suspicion that the vaccine could lead to blood clots. Rightly or wrongly, the EU decided to carry out tests to see if there was a link. In this case there was no evidence so the vaccination was the approved for use again.

If it was found to be true, then they would have been right and praised for the decision.

If they did nothing and continued, but 6 months later it came to light that the vaccine did have some effect on this, then they would have been wrong not to carry out the tests.

They must have been acting on some scientific information that they needed to check.

Basically hung out to dry on either count.

One of the side effects of covid is blood clots,  why didn't they look at Britain s results , 25 million vaccines given with very few problems,  thank god we did brexit, would hate to think how much worse it could have been, 125 thousand deaths was bad enough! Your at war Europe don't leave it to Britain again !
