Re: Who Has Been Vaccinated?
My husband got his letter on Friday and booked at a centre 12 miles away and had his jab on Saturday.Meg 50 wrote: 15 Feb 2021, 08:51Had our letter on Saturday - so booked online immediately rather than waiting for the Dr's call.
strange - online they only offer places to the east of us - whereas the Dr's centre is the Fairfield Halls . Still, JD will be proud of us - we're going to Selhurst Park ( she has a CPFC season ticket) later this morning.
The GP hub is only 5 minutes walk away, but he decided to get it done ASAP, rather than wait for the doctor - knowing our doctor’s surgery, it could have been a long wait.
I’m in group 7, so I will do the same when it’s my turn, probably sometime in March.

Yep, they did say they were going to be getting out the good stuff for us now that the hit and miss vaccine has all been used up in Dorset.

My brother and his wife, who are in the next group down the batting order, had theirs last week. They live just across the road from their surgery and got a call to say they could have their jabs if they came straight away. They had some Pfizer vaccine left at the end of a session and didn't want to waste it.

we could have gone on Sunday, but decided to wait until today.

Well done that surgery, we don't want to waste any if it can be helped.Mervyn and Trish wrote: 15 Feb 2021, 11:39My brother and his wife, who are in the next group down the batting order, had theirs last week.

We've now both had the vaccine. My husband got his yesterday and I got mine today both were given Pfizer. It was all done very efficiently in and out within 30 minutes including the wait time.

Re: Who Has Been Vaccinated?
My wife has signed up to do vaccinations so had her jab (AstraZeneca) a couple of days ago. She had a high temperature for 24 hours with headache. I get mine tomorrow morning.
Having just listened to Boris’s briefing I got the distinct impression that there is more to come regarding the overall efficiency of the AstraZeneca vaccine…I may be wrong…but rarely!

Re: Who Has Been Vaccinated?
My BIL had a similar reaction - shivering with cold but he was hot, headache and feeling rough. It lasted about 24 hours and after a 'better' night's sleep he was fine.It seems to affect different people in different ways, some having no reaction at all apart from a stiff arm for a couple of days.Meg 50 wrote: 16 Feb 2021, 08:59

Going for mine in about 35 minutes. Drugs don't agree with me so fully expecting a reaction.

Re: Who Has Been Vaccinated?
Seems to be a lot of comment in todays papers suggesting these symptoms are a good thing, because it indicates the vaccine is having the desired effect on your immune system. We both had similar symptoms after our vaccines, but mine were quite mild, I just felt a little feverish and quite tired the day after the jab, but fine after a good nights sleep.oldbluefox wrote: 16 Feb 2021, 09:48My BIL had a similar reaction - shivering with cold but he was hot, headache and feeling rough.

They didn't take your advice because I've just had a small prick, and a very enjoyable experience it was too

All done. Had the AZ vaccine with a whisky chaser to give it a bit of boost.
