I'm hoping you can make it too,
Smiley, as are the rest of
your fellow Footy Tipsters who reckon the first drinks

are on you...!!!

BTW... as I'm due for my second
A-Z Jab next Wednesday, I thought I'd do the sums for everybody, especially the
fence sitters, or
reluctant inoculants...
How long does it take to have immunity after vaccination?
Both the
Pfizer and the
AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines require the
full 2 dose course for the best immune response. Whilst partial protection against COVID-19 may be as soon as
12 days after the first dose,
this protection is likely to be short lived. The second dose encourages the body to create stronger protection (immunity) against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.
Individuals may not be fully protected until 7-14 days after their second dose of the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine.
Because of this, you can still become ill prior to this time and infect others around you, so you should continue COVIDSafe practices.
As you may already be aware, the
'medical experts' have decided that the
AstraZeneca jabs should be delivered 12 weeks apart, add another two weeks for the second dose to become fully effective, and then
working back from the Rocks Pub Crawl, I've calculated that the
LATEST date that intending participants could get their
FIRST A-Z Dose,
(if they haven't already done so,) is
Friday, 6th August, with a follow-up
final jab on
Friday, 29th of October...
If for some reason, you were holding off for the
Pfizer Jab, the maximum efficacy time is the same
(2 weeks) as the
AstraZeneca jabs, but you
only have to wait THREE weeks for your
second jab... This means
you'll have had to have your initial jab at the
LATEST, FIVE FULL WEEKS before the
Pub Crawl, or to save you working it out,
by Friday, 8th of October, with the
SECOND and final jab on
Friday, 29th of October...
Now I know if you cast your mind back to your days in
'The Grey Funnel Line' you didn't think twice before lining up in the
Sick Bay passage-way, with the
Doc on one side, the
Sick Berth Tiffy on the other,
syringes in both hands, a
jab in each arm, and
depending on the destination, you may get
called back for seconds...
It was your right of passage,
so to speak...! 
Well, out of respect for
your
fellow Rocks Pub Crawlers, most of whom slot just nicely into the
'Danger
Zone',
age-wise, it goes without saying that we see absolutely no impediment to everybody being
FULLY INNOCULATED...
Well, that's it...

To mis-quote
Capt Jack Sparrow... 
"I sincerely hope everybody was paying attention, because I'm
NOT going to go through all that

again...!"
