Oh no!

Yep same here. It's a QR code which renews like every 6 weeks.

Updated symptoms to look out for based on Delta variant From Zoe App data.

Well **** me with hay fevers amirite

Peak grass Pollen weather as well

TBH I still couldn't tell you what Covid looks like. Not sure if I have had it. Felt a bit crappy around Christmas but didn't need to go out then, so never got tested.

Yeap I've struggled with what I assume has been hayfever over the past week.

Travelling on a plane was fun with all the sniffing

Why you shouldn't get a second Covid jab too early

A government scientific advisor tells Newsbeat why four weeks is too soon between Covid jabs.

Moscow health clinics have begun offering booster jabs in an attempt to curb the spread, however local reports say supplies of at least one vaccine have run out in the city's clinics.

CoviVac as far as I've heard. There's enough of Sputnik everywhere though.
I think the reporter from Saint Petersburg is right: the government was "calming" people down during all this time, people finally stopped to take Coronavirus seriously (or at least stopped worrying about the pandemic). Now there are a lot of conspiracy theories because of new restrictions, like: there's a boost of inner tourism in Russia and the government lies about statistics to keep borders closed and profit from the inner tourism etc.

Never really got it too bad before, but suffering with it yesterday and today a bit. Pollen super high in Ireland all week.

Government today announced that from Monday 18-35 year olds in Ireland could get a Jannsen jab (bascially jumping the que for a supposedly less desirable vaccine) from a pharmacy if they could get a booking basically. Carnage ensues as the pharmacies were not really expecting the announcement and are swamped with calls. Long story short I have one booked! Absolutely chuffed.

 

[McTallshort]

OH no! just found out my first jab was a Covishield one. No travel to the EU for me (not that I was going anyway)

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Swear to God I'd never heard of the Jannsen or Covishield vaccines until today.

From a brief skim of an article I gathered they're just the J&J and AZ ones manufactured elsewhere?

 

[Yulia]

I've booked my Johnson and Johnson.

How is it possible? They didn't inform you about it before? That means that Covishield is approved in the UK then
Maybe they'll let your travel to the EU because of your second jab as well

AstraZeneca: Could you have had a jab from the Covishield batch? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-57665765

Checked mine and it's the Vaxzevria one. Still, looks like it's only a matter of time that the Covishield one will be approved. It's approved by the WHO. It's still exactly the same vaccine just made elsewhere.

I have no plans to travel to the EU anytime soon either.

Aye, looks that way
Basically the EU didn't buy any vaccines from these plants, so didn't need to approve them

Hermes Conrad would be proud.

Checked its one of the mentioned batches
