I'm absolutely fuming :(

I've had my vaccination, 2 jabs weeks ago hoping I can to Malta but today
they hit us with this news
my first one is on the list
batch numbers: 4120Z002

Its not that I go there just for a holiday but to visit family otherwise I would just say feck it and go to Greece/Spain etc

Malta bans UK travellers given batches of Indian-made AstraZeneca

I feel for you mate. People being virtually blackmailed into taking these experimental things and you get all your thanks in one day.

A total shitstorm with no end in sight.

 

[Kryton]

Its a load of boll@cks.
The indian made vaccine must of also passed clinical tests and been approved.

Hope you get to see your family soon Joe.

Lol what a twat

tbh, the EU are just trying to be awkward (they still pissed at us)

There are also people who tool part in trials for other vaccines (like novavax) that cannot either take another vaccine or be considered vaccinated... UK gov have really screwed this covid pass business up.

Glad I refused AZ though (multiple times!) and ended up with pfizer. Better efficacy, and universally accepted around the world.

But I got nowhere to travel too.

I didn't want Pfizer, didn't fancy a stiff arm

I've just had the Phizer, and the sore arm wasn't that bad and is completely gone 2 days on.

Its not the EUs fault its the same for the US, AZ in india did not file the correct paper work. it affects me too my 1st jab was the 003 batch

Didn't have a stuff arm. Just sore at the injection point (which you get with all vaccines)

Typical social media sourced gobshittery.

There is a 10% higher chance of some swelling and tenderness around the injection site with the Pfizer than with the AZ, but you can get it with either. Usually goes in a day or two.

On the other hand there was a significantly higher percentage of 'whole body' reactions (flu type reactions) with the AZ than with the Pfizer.

Either way...are you a man or a mouse?

I guess none of you get my sense of humour then, so I will spell it out for you guys.

Pfizer are the makers of Viagra, hence the reference to having a stiff arm

 

[hackmax]

I kind of did but chose not to reply

I was going to make a comment though that you could ask NOT to have in your w*nking arm

I suppose though at least you can say your not afraid of having a small prick.

Hey it pleases me and that's all that matters

Some light at the end of the tunnel

Malta makes U-turn over Astra Zeneca ban - Brits with India jabs WILL be allowed to travel
