I do not regard aged 67 as old!  You need to be over 80 to be regarded as old by the NHS (i.e. to be treated by a specialist in geriatrics)!

Had my second dose of AZ on 12th May. Same 24hrs of side effects, flu like, as first dose. Mild arm ache continues.

I learned today that an old man (about 67) I know recently caught Covid despite having had both doses of vaccine. However, he has generally poor health (due mainly but not entirely to a lifetime of heavy drinking and smoking).

I do not regard aged 67 as old!  You need to be over 80 to be regarded as old by the NHS (i.e. to be treated by a specialist in geriatrics)!

Ah, the youth of today! Always ready to disagree.

The point is that although he is in his 60s, he looks and to an extent moves as if he were in his 80s.

Statistically, everyone over 41 is old in the UK (United Kingdom), that being the population's median age.*

*Edit: For the curious, or to assuage or enrage anyone feeling mis-aged, I am 53. Over 125% old statistically!

But actually the real point is that you can catch covid after two doses of vaccination.

... and that is particularly likely if your immune system is not in good shape.

Indeed.  Common sense and caution still very much required - especially but not limited to those who were more vulnerable in the first place.



Poll results:

Thank you to all the passengers customers members who took part.  Nearly 60% of us have had two injections, and over 90% have had at least one.  Others are waiting (I suspect the youngsters amongst us).  And - within our group which may be unrepresentative of the population as a whole, not one "anti-vax" person - or at least no-one admitted to it.
