Stronger warnings are needed to curb socialising after vaccination--behaviorial scientists ,

Tue, 2021-03-23 10:40 — mike kraft

Covid-19: Stronger warnings are needed to curb socialising after vaccination, say doctors and behavioural scientists Experts have called for stronger health warnings for people being vaccinated against covid-19 after observing a rise in infections shortly after vaccination, suggesting that many people are letting their guard down before the vaccine has taken effect. Earlier this month a study led by Public Health England of vaccination in the over 70s found a “notable” rise in covid-19 infections in people immediately after they received the AstraZeneca vaccine.1 Similarly, a study of Israel’s vaccination programme, reported in February, found a similar spike in cases among people who had just been jabbed.2 It found that daily incidence approximately doubled after vaccination until about day 8.

U.S. Health Officials Question AstraZeneca Vaccine Trial Results

Tue, 2021-03-23 09:27 — mike kraft

Federal health officials said early Tuesday that results from a U.S. trial of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine may have relied on “outdated information” that “may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy data,” casting doubt on an announcement on Monday that had been seen as good news for the British-Swedish company as well as the global vaccination drive.
