Vaccine- who will have it?

[snowman]

Do the vaccination hubs have epipens etc on site in case of anaphylaxis?

 

Did this death occur within 15 minutes of vaccination?

Do we know what the question was?

It's in the audio link on MR website.

And I notice that MR have now added the bit about the Crown Indemnity issue.

I suspect it happened well after leaving the hub.

I see that the comment about the Crown Indemnity has now been removed from MR report. Which doesn't surprise me because when I read it I thought how fucking insensitive it was to even mention it!

It's still there as far as I can see: He also said the Island's crown indemnity would be used if the death is confirmed to be directly linked to the vaccine by the Coroner of Inquests.

And it's also referred to in the associated sound clip.  To be fair to Ashford it was actually raised by Edge in her question (also in the clip).  But then the obsession with indemnity seems to be from Ashford and the DHSC in the first place - I can't think of another jurisdiction that makes such a big thing about it.  Another example of how the main driver of civil service decisions seems to be the avoidance of responsibility.

Would agree if there was an issue at one of the vaccination no doubt there would have been loads on social media about it

That is simply rubbish.

Have you actually listened to the clip?  It's got nothing to do with "avoiding responsibility ".  What are you on about?

It is quite clear what Ashford was saying.   It's typical of Julie Edge really.  A question or statement made when the actual facts are not to hand.    

It's insensitive at this stage to be brining it up.  Ashford answered it exactly as he should.   What do you expect him to say?

We do need to know though and also what vaccine it was: 15 minutes supervision is required for Pfizer - should we be doing the same for AZ? 

In the clip Ashford also dismisses concerns about blood clots simply because they were 'the wrong sort'.  Now it may be true that the incidence of blood clots was no more than would be expected in the relevant population, but it still needs checking and reassurance offered appropriately.

That whole interview was insensitive. 

As is this thread at the moment.

He has offered reassurance.  You said so yourself.

The first MR post didn't include the audio clip but did report the indemnity issue.

After that they included the audio clip but the indemnity issue had been removed.

Subsequent to both of the above the indemnity issue is now back with the audio clip.

They got there eventually... but probably still an unnecessary subject to discuss at this time.

I am finding Ashie's rising inflection at the end of each sentence becoming more and more irritating.

I wonder if disregarding manufacturers' instructions will void any liability on their part

As I understand it, indemnity is being provided by the UK Government, and we are following them in regard the dosing.

Furthermore, if it was the AZ vaccine we are following the manufacturer's recommendation which is second dose between 4 and 12 weeks. 

If it was the first dose of either, then I don't see how they could argue that because the second dose wasn't going to be given until 12 weeks, liability was voided in any way.

If the post about it being an anaphylactic reaction is correct, it is unlikely to be a second dose. It would be unusual to have no reaction at all to the first dose and then a fatal allergic reaction to the second

Having said all of that, indemnity issues are not the top priority at the moment

That and the lecturing tone. Oh and the whining voice. And the absolute certainty that he’s never wrong. And the fact that he’s a doctor, microbiologist, PR and GDPR expert. Apart from that he’s perfect.

Are you sure that the UK Government is providing indemnity for the covid vaccines? Contrary to what the minister seems to think, UK Crown indemnity is not available here. The DHSC 'self insures'
