‘Kids thrive on consistency.’ Get your kids ages 5-11 vaccinated once approved, experts say
Parents should feel confident getting their kids between 5 and 11 years old vaccinated as soon as the FDA gives the green light and it becomes available, Northwestern University experts said.

Same in my lads school. Four of his mates have it, as does his cousin.
Other than loss of taste, non have any other symptoms.
Iirc your son had loss of taste for quite a while afterwards - any improvement?
He’s had a slight improvement, as he can now taste a few more things.
However, the big plus, has been the fact that he no longer eats chocolate, as he says it tastes “ rotten “
A good silver lining!He’s had a slight improvement, as he can now taste a few more things.

Thanks LL, yeah in New Zealand we're just over 85% of the eligible population (12 years+) with at least one first dose, and around 67% of the eligible population fully vaccinated. Hopefully by mid-November we should be nudging 90% of the eligible population fully vaccinated.
I've become a strong advocate for vaccination, I've got a side gig as a contact trace caller for the Ministry of Health and it's heartbreaking to see even in the early days of our community COVID transmission the huge number of unvaccinated COVID cases in spite of a strong number of vaccinations in the population. I've stupidly started arguing with a couple of prominent New Zealand anti-vaxxers (or as they like to call themselves, "pro-freedom") on social media, it's actually quite depressing to see how they manipulate and prey on scared, vulnerable, and, well I'll say it, not particularly intelligent people.
I've always looked at examples in the US, UK and Australia and thought to myself that couldn't happen in New Zealand, we're a reasonably liberal society with a fairly high level of trust in our government and political systems. How wrong was I, it looks like we're no different to anywhere else in the stupidity stakes
. I take comfort though in that of course everything on social media is amplified and maybe the anti-vax numbers here are not as strong as they appear.
85% of eligible population with a first dose already would indicate that, although a vocal one, the antivaxers are very much the minority.Thanks LL, yeah in New Zealand we're just over 85% of the eligible population (12 years+) with at least one first dose, and around 67% of the eligible population fully vaccinated.

Agree on how sad/anger inducing they are though!

Hospital figures - 169 deaths were announced today, up 132 on yesterday and up 31 on last Tuesday. 164 deaths were in English hospitals, up 153 on yesterday and up 32 on last week. The 7 day rolling average rises to 107.29
All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 223 deaths were announced today, up 178 on yesterday and up 42 on last Tuesday. The 7 day rolling average rises to 129.71
For the 60 day cut off, 262 deaths were announced today, up 214 on yesterday and up 43 on last Tuesday. The 7 day rolling average rises to an even 156
Note for anyone who may be twitchy reading these figures, yes it’s sad and yes it is a high amount but bear in mind it will be catch ups from the weekend and will likely not hit as high the rest of the week and maybe not next Tuesday either

Good
Wouldn’t have done it myself, I would have paused where we were, we have a deteriorating virus picture over here, just heading into flu season, with the scope of the risk as yet unknown, timing all wrong, should have done all this earlier in the summer, we were to conservative at the wrong times and now we’re being to liberal at the wrong time.
Politics over science won here, wouldn’t be surprised to see us take a regressive step in a month or so.
Guardian reporting increasimg noises being made about moving to 'plan B' to head off a winter crisis by senior NHS figures and scientists. I.e. mask wearing, recommending WFH etc. Govt ignoring so far. Probably unsurprisingly.
Not a massive deal asking folk to wear masks, really don't think being reluctant is sensible. The only possible reason is because the Govt. know its not popular and want to be all a about 'freedom'.
