They likely are quite accurate, but human error needs to be taken into consideration too.Good to know LFT’s are more accurate than first thought. I must stockpile some more then.

Though as the people carrying them out are us plebs, that's a very big if!
I wonder if its different for different areas, what terminology they're using.
Are they just giving a third AZ and not Pfizer ?
They refer to them as boosters here as they're giving you a boost after the initial shot
They’re different and we’re being told to ensure we tell the person administering the dose that. The difference lies in the Moderna vaccine - for a booster it’s only a half dose, for a third vaccine it’s a full dose. Pfizer is the same either way.
They aren’t the same. They’re slightly different, see above.
They're being called boosters here as well. Ultimately they're they same as what you've had though and haven't been adapted to Delta.
Yes I do, that would make sense. Thank you
The third doses are useful for people with blood cancer who didn’t get any antibodies from the first two vaccines at the very least. I’m hopeful my third dose will give me some. I’ve been told we’ll be expecting a 4th dose in 6 months time (research suggests that people with blood cancer won’t get antibodies until 6 months after chemo)They're being called boosters here as well. Ultimately they're they same as what you've had though and haven't been adapted to Delta.
Having known now 8 double vaccinated people who have all had covid very recently, and 1 being very ill to the point they're ringing 119 because they can't breathe and another being hospitalised with it really not looking good, I'm not sure what use "boosters" or "third doses" are if they're not being adapted
I think they'd have a revolution on their hands after pushing the vaccine as the way out .
