Well I tested negative by lateral flow this morning, I got quite excited but when I held it up to the lamp I got see a very faint line on the T so not quite but probably tomorrow. This matters because our isolation is now potentially reduced for vaccinated people from 10 days to 7 if a person tests negative on day 6 and 7. Hmm. I was still testing positive on day 7 so it wouldn’t have helped me, I’m playing it safe and staying home today, I’m on day 9 so not long now. I haven’t really missed going out because although I had mild symptoms (no respiratory effects at all no temperature even) I have been very tired - it’s like my body has been working hard.

@InkyTinks I had AstraZeneca 2x too and didn’t yet get my booster as for my age they kept saying 6 months then by the time they brought it to 3 months I could only bring it forward 3 days and then I had covid anyway (I work in a supermarket where I have been exposed to coughing frequently by the public so I’m fairly high risk for catching). I read of a man who had difficulty obtaining a 3rd dose of AZ as they are using MRNA for boosters, he did eventually get it - like you he couldn’t have an MRNA. Could you maybe talk to your Dr first about it?

I have to say all the breakthrough cases I’ve known were 2xAZ including myself but maybe a 3rd dose would help? I also read today AZ are working on an Omicron specific vaccine Steps taken to target Omicron with AstraZeneca jab, scientist says | Coronavirus | The Guardian

I got my blood antibody result back and I did have antibodies and was told they couldn’t be from the recent infection but were from either previous infection or vaccinations. Not sure what to make of that, it looks like I had antibodies just not enough to resist the virus? Or maybe I’ve had Omicron?
