LADY, ANYWAY YOU TAKE A CHANCE. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. IT IS YOUR CHIOCE AND DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD DISCOURAGE OTHERS.

As there going to be a big rush it is prudent to have more service points at each centre in order to reduce waiting time as most of them will be aged sick people.

How is the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine administered? How it's given The vaccine is given by 2 separate injections of 0.5 mL each into the muscle of the arm. For the vaccine to work best, you need to get 2 doses: a first dose and then a second dose 4 to 12 weeks later. Immunity develops over time. It takes about 2 weeks to develop significant protection against COVID-19

Anyone from mount lavinia going.. Are we eligible for the rathmalana site?

Fake list. I went. Those people don't even know they are supposed to give the vaccine.

Premalal Perera Sunday, 01 August 2021 10:29 AM

We received information that the vaccine roll out for 2nd dose will be carried out from 1st August to 6th August for the Wattala area at the MOH office. This was confirmed by the GS. However, no such thing is taking place. The MOH office is blissfully closed, the phone appears to be off the hook. We are supposed to go into the information age with high-flying people in the ministry which comes under the President. Mis information is strife.

So many doctors and healthcare professionals have contacted the virus, despite being vaccinated. Why get vaccinated in the first place? This is just a placebo.
