Spoke to the clinic I go to about having my 2nd jab after 6 weeks, instead of the 12 weeks recommended. They said if I had it at 6 weeks, I'd only be 50% covered & 80% at 12 weeks.
Mates Doctor told him, come back in 2 weeks (6weeks) & have the 2nd jab.
If doctor's can't agree, how are we to know what's best.

A bunnings power pass
Gives you a discount as well

I think you need an abn to have 1.

Some "tradies" aren't really tradies.
The guys who try to go to bunnings to get weedkiller without a powerpass are an example of why we are in lockdown.
Not essential to be in store like bunnings so shouldn't be there

Maybe your mate's doctor doesn't care if he's got a reduced immune response...

Everything I've read suggests the longer spacing results in a better immune response though, so if you can afford to wait you'll be better off. I don't think the difference is 50% though.

For an even better immune response, having a first dose of AZ and a second dose of an mRNA vaccine seems to be better than two shots of AZ.

Well seems like things are heating up a bit more than expected.
No jab no work for essential workers.. means all those ******* protests in the city the construction workers did was all in vain, and now we have stupid numbers of cases to deal with as well..
Not to mention all agriculture and related industries also need to have the jab to remain open.

Christmas is starting to look bleak already!!!
Stay safe everyone!

"Authorised provider and authorised worker list | Coronavirus Victoria" https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/auth ... orker-list

Sounds like almost everyone is mandated to be vaccinated by the govt.

There’s a new covid pill hopefully available soon, it’s even made by the same company as ivermectin so it should be ok for the horse paste enthusiasts without needing to hide it in a piece of cheese or hold their nose and rubbing their neck.

The power of a School Bus bully just goes on and on. Right or wrong. But how does it get to the point where the Vic Govt threatens you to do the bleeding obvious or lose your job... I don't necessarily agree with it being mandatory but why wouldn't you get the Jab.
My wife and I had our second AV jab in July and we feel very comfortable in doing so. we would have taken anything available to feel safer which we do now.

I'm double jabbed and thank it's not good mandating all essential workers...
Once lockdown is over there will not be any essential workers ?

Can't imagine how many thousand will be protesting in next few days ..
