The Beeb was carrying a report/interview from a medic/scientist, I regret I can't remember who or which program, that Astra Zenca's protection is longer lasting and unless you are in a high risk group there would be little benefit in a booster. My inference was within 12 months but I don't actually recall a time scale being mentioned.

Well i ordered a new batch of 7 day LFT's.
When it arrived a week last Tuesday, it also contained a PCR test, as the NHS have just started efficacy testing.
I do twice weekly testing for work, even though i have no symptoms.
I've been doing LFT since last year, and am double vaccinated.
Test taken on the Tuesday, and LFT negative. Did PCR as requested and sent it off, got a result back the following Saturday morning, Positive!
Immediately did another LFT - negative.
Rang NHS helpline, and explained why i had taken test, they didn't know anything about the efficacy tests going on.
I asked if i should take another PCR, but was told no, Positive, is Positive, the test doesn't make mistakes? And anyway once you have tested Positive on a PCR, you cant do another for 90 days?
Wife and kids went to drive through for PCR - theirs came back negative.
So had to isolate for 10 days... Although by time results came back was already half way through!
Have also completed Antigen tests now... awaiting the results.
Fortunately I can work from home, so continued, the wife works in an Opticians, and was told because i tested positive she had to stay home also for 10 days.
The worry now is, no symptoms, LFT are continuing to be negative, yet the PCR was positive, so from today I can move about freely, and potentially for the next 80 days, any testing is ineffective!
So am I worried... not for me, or the wife and kids, but what about elderly relatives, or those with underlying health conditions?

What a pain in the arse, I know the proper obrs are supposed to be better than lateral flow tests, but let's hope that's a false positive.
A friend said it was strange having it done properly at a drive through, gave a massive cough as the swab was rammed down his throat, "good" was the response of the person doing it,most of us dont push back far enough.
I'm doing lateral flows once or twice a week, enough now and again we hear from the school about cases, one in almost every year but theirs the other day!
My dad has his booster the other day. Not sure which jab he's had, I assume az as his booster was where I had my 2nd
