I suggest doing your own research.

 

 

In Internet terms "DYOR" pretty much means "read conspiracy theories on Facebook". Getting pedantic, unless you happen to have both a basement and a large fully-staffed biomedical research facility contained in it, no-one can actually DYOR. A better response if you specifically want to direct people to medical data would be "recent results from the NEJM/Lancet/Cochrane/etc show that x weeks is more effective than y weeks", but that's often not very useful unless they're used to reading research publications.

 

 

In particular, the interval effectiveness varies among vaccines and which Covid variant you're looking at so be careful which vaccine and variant you're getting info for, but for Pfizer and Delta various results show that the longer the interval, the higher the antibody response. However, balancing that out, two shots at any interval beyond about three weeks is better than a single shot while waiting for a long interval to pass. So I'd say if you're outside Auckland you can wait out the longer interval, if you're inside Auckland and not at much risk you can probably wait, and if you're in a high-risk position you may want to go for the second jab at three weeks.

Perhaps I have more faith in people's ability to distinguish between reputable sources and the less reputable?  :)

 

There is plenty of room for me to be wrong in that!

Not trying to be out of line, but as the outbreak spreads, as expected given our below par compliance, the merits between 3 weeks and 8 weeks is not that important. The more the get jabbed now the better. All of us will get a booster in the future, and for the early ones that's probably not that far off. If you are at 3 weeks and want to wait that's fine, just remember to add another 2 weeks onto that for it to take effect. And that you are not in a vulnerable location soon, which is an unknown for many of us

 

Just my opinion on the greater scheme of things right now

A lot of people can't be trusted to identify trusted and untrusted sources.

Had the second jab yesterday, 6 weeks after the first. Arm is a bit sore, much more so than after the first one but otherwise ok so far.

Had my second shot today. Just a FYI for people, at the Highbury centre (so possibly others) they were handing out masks to go over the top of whatever mask you were already wearing. Since I was wearing something pretty heavy-duty already I asked about it and they said they were doing it for everyone, presumably to deal with people turning up with little more than bits of cloth wrapped around their faces.

Second shot done yesterday. Now fully 5G-compliant and waiting for my Windows 11 update over the new few weeks...

The 5G compliance wears off very quickly in my experience and I'm not sure how it goes with the Win 11 update.

Got back yesterday, brewed a cup of tea, fired up the laptop, and was informed by Windows Update that the laptop was ready to go for Windows 11.

I'm really worried about having my second dose, as I run a Mac...it's going to be very problematic.

Got my second jab as well yesterday; arm is more sore than it was after my first.

 

I am also starting to fell "a little under the weather" as the day continues.

I just got a bit of a sore arm after the first jab and similar for the 2nd but did get a bit of a headache the day after the 2nd jab.
I never get headaches.
Couple of Panadol took care of that. :)

My Son had his second done last Saturday reported nothing except a mildly sore arm, but the following day arm was moderately sore and his underarm was also moderately uncomfortable. That went on for a day or two then he reported dizziness from mild to severe, but seemed to pass pretty quickly. Unsure if that was related or not. Today he seems ok.
