After vaccine question.

[RobM]

I'm coming up to 65 and I imagine I'll be "jabbed" April time, but my question is;
After vaccination, will my life return to 'normal'? i.e. will I be immune and, more importantly, non-contagious? I'd like to get back to the normal pre-Covid life bit don't know how much of it I'll be able to experience.

Think you'll have to give up the disco "Dad" dancing.

As far as I know none of the vaccines have been tested yet to see if it stops you actually getting the virus, all we know is that it helps to prevent you getting ill.

I'm wise enough not to even try - not a pretty sight|!

If it helps the guidance we are giving people is that you must continue to follow the advice currently being given.

The efficiency of the vaccine being used (Pfizer) presently stands at 93% but you have have to have the two vaccines to reach that.
My understanding is that there is a possibility you can still contract the virus although the severity of it is lessen considerably.

We are all hoping for the Oxford vaccination ASAP as the logistics are so much easier to administer.

In a way.

Vaccines help your body pre prepare the antibodies required to fight the virus should you catch it.

While it's correct that asymptomatic infection wasn't the primary endpoint in the studies, in the AZ vaccine they showed good effect in avoid asymptomatic infection. It's reasonable to assume that the mRNA vaccines by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna will show at least a similar benefit. Moderna didn't publish these data in their press release but I've heard that they saw a reduction in asymptomatic infection in their data which were presented to the FDA
