Maybe a Hickman line comes next



COVID-19: Israel to offer fourth coronavirus vaccine dose to over-60s, saying it is first nation set to roll it out

It comes as the first known death of a patient with the Omicron strain was confirmed in Israel on Tuesday.


With a Hickman line, people could just pick up the next dose from the Co-op together with a nice bit of something for the evening meal. Something fishy seems appropriate.

Ouch...

Seeing what the consultants did to Senora O'Blene recently, to investigate her ticker, I've become a little wary of these, but you make a good point!

Maybe a diabetic 'pump' could be an answer as well!

The Pfizer booster was OK'd by the US FDA after a trial in which a number of participants had the booster and then had blood tests for antibodies some while later.

Your job is to guess, without googling, what that number was. And how many were in the age group most affected by Covid, the over-65s.

@dearieme: my guess is 500 and zero.

@Sobers: near enough. 234 and zero in their "Phase 3" trial.

Scrobs - or some kind of patch like nicotine patches. Probably with a chip in it.

dearieme and Sobers - I remembered the second number but had forgotten the first except that it was in the low hundreds. My guess was going to be 350 and 0.

They keep doing the same thing which didn't work before - now, who was it that made a comment about insanity?

Ed P - a fairly brainy chap if I remember.
