I've Been Covinated

Unread post by david63 »

As we seem to have made up wards for everything these days I thought I would make one up - Covinated, meaning that I have just had my autumn booster :thumbup:

Had my flu last Saturday so I am now invincible (well will be in two weeks when they kick in!) :crazy:

I’ve got mine on Friday morning and flu jab on Monday.
I’ve had a slight reaction to the previous three covid jabs so I’m expecting similar.
I’ll have to lay on the sofa and have someone peel my grapes 😉

Depending on what the system is where you are - you may be offered the flu jab at the same time as your Covid jab

That's what our surgery are going to do.

Had our Covid on Saturday 17th then the Flu jab the following Saturday.

Could have had both at the same time but the Surgery advised that most of their patients are not wishing to take that route ... seemed the way to go we thought in case of any adverse impact.

Jabbed to the eyeballs we actually went into Morrisons yesterday ... brave or what ?

My husband had his flu jab last week, and has his Covid jab next week.

Like you, I’m in the non codger group. I’ve got my flu jab booked for 17th October , and will book my Covid jab as soon as I am able to.

Got my flu and Covid jab this afternoon......outside the surgery in a gazebo tent in the corner of the car park. Should be interesting trying to park with the world and his mother turning up.

I’ve opted for the VIP vaccination package as I hate waiting in crowds…. They did offer me an earlier date but I said it coincided with my world cruise. :D

We should be able to compare notes as I get my flu jab on the 17th with my covid jab two days later...looking forward to the complementary tea and biscuits. :thumbup: ;)

We had summer boosters at the end of June, only 3 months ago, so happy to wait a bit longer. Would like to get re-covinated before we go to Madeira for 4 weeks over Christmas/New Year though.

I've had my Covid booster but not the flu jab yet. When I had the booster they couldn't do the flu jab at the same time for some reason. No after effects from the booster at all, didn't feel it and didn't even have a sore arm. Feeling very fragile at the moment as I had a stupid accident on Monday, fell over my own feet and landed on the hard tiled kitchen floor. Now being looked after by one of my daughters and using ice and heat packs together with painkillers and feeling lucky it was no worse. Painful lower back and bruised coccyx - ouch! Walking around with a stick feeling about 90! Will have to book a flu jab when I'm feeling a bit more mobile.

Covid jab at Tesco (true, I swear it)
Flu jab at the doctors surgery.
Might pick up a bit of shopping while I’m there 😂

Hope your feeling better soon Carole.

I know how you feel after slipping down stairs four weeks ago. Bl**dy painful especially trying to sleep at night.

We were both covinated this morning, and had our flu jabs ten days ago, so let's hope they both work well and keep us virus free on Iona in 10 days time.

Have you not read the latest news - you cannot sail if you have been jabbed in the 14 days prior to embarkation :shock: :shock: :wave: :wave:

Only 2 pharmacies around here doing Covid. One had 400 doses come in on Friday. People were queuing out of the shop and down the street and by teatime there were no more doses left. They're now booked up for the next fortnight so we'll have another try once the rush is over.

Are you doing a walk in or by appointment Foxy.

Same problem as you Foxy. Just went for my jabs only to find the world and his mother were queueing out the door and way up the footpath. Makes you wonder what's the point of an appointment time. Hopeless

Almost feel like saying boll*cks to it and take my chances. :thumbdown:
