The vaccine

[MyNameIsTerry]

I agree with your dad on this one!

Me too. The sooner the far cheaper Oxford launched the better.

My Dad has grown an extra head since his jab, is that normal?

I don't know if it's normal, but the extra head would entitle him to entry into Tasmania and permanent residency if he wanted it. He'd fit right in with the locals. After 2 years the state government would even pay for it to be removed. They normally do this soon after birth and the scar is then usually barely visible, but I'm told it is more visible when the operation is performed later in life.

I'm relieved that you've had the jab, Mrs S. You need all the protection you can get in your job which must be so very stressful xx

panic_down_under, I never realised Tasmania had such a problem with double headers. I'm assuming this is an Aussie 'in-joke'? To do with in-breeding? The small rural town where I currently reside used to have a similar reputation, 'six finger city' was one saying. Though I'm happy to say my ancestry comes from different corners of England.

I hope it does. It must have been incredibly worrying for you trying to protect those you care for.

My dad gets his first next Thursday. My mum is a higher risk but housebound and there is no plan for them yet per the surgery (so much for the most vulnerable first...as usual it's the least inconvenience to GPs)

Yep, as they say, Tassie: 450,000 people, 5 surnames. However, it has become flavour of the 'month' in recent years with a surge of mainlanders moving here either as climate change refugees, e.g. me, or because housing has been cheap, although this is no longer the case in most areas. So the Tasmanian gene pool is being greatly expanded.
