Stronger warnings are needed to curb socialising after vaccination--behaviorial scientists ,

Tue, 2021-03-23 10:40 — mike kraft

Covid-19: Stronger warnings are needed to curb socialising after vaccination, say doctors and behavioural scientists Experts have called for stronger health warnings for people being vaccinated against covid-19 after observing a rise in infections shortly after vaccination, suggesting that many people are letting their guard down before the vaccine has taken effect. Earlier this month a study led by Public Health England of vaccination in the over 70s found a “notable” rise in covid-19 infections in people immediately after they received the AstraZeneca vaccine.1 Similarly, a study of Israel’s vaccination programme, reported in February, found a similar spike in cases among people who had just been jabbed.2 It found that daily incidence approximately doubled after vaccination until about day 8.
