National News Vaccine - have you had yours?

[Yellowmania]

Had my second AZ jab yesterday, pretty bad reaction after the first one and banging headache and feverish this time round. Good luck to the fella earlier in the thread planning to play Sunday footie the day after his second one!

Why would they book a vaccine if they were not going to turn up?

Here in Wales the small vaccination clinics, (as opposed to the mass vaccination sites where you are invited to book your own appointment), just send an appointment date and time. You don’t have to confirm or refuse so there’s no real way of knowing how many people will actually turn up. I guess it’s the same in England?

You book an appointment here, so if you don’t want the jab it would be weird to bother doing that.

Unless you are trying to be as objectionable as Piers Corbyn.

Anyone who has the "normal" NHS App can now see their official Covid "status" so I am told.


Unless you had a jab as part of a trial!!

First one June 8th. No underlying health issues and in my early 30s.

An irrational hatred of Stevenage, Crawley and Sheffield United doesn’t count then?

Only thing I have against Crawley is Gatwick is an a**e to get to!

Just had my first dose at the stadium.

“Will this protect me against the concourse toilets?” I asked.

How we laughed.

Thanks, I did!

Proper ropey first time round for several days but no reaction at all after the 2nd. (Slight ache in the arm notwithstanding)

Got a bloody cold with the vaccine Wednesday

 

[Oufcad30]

Got my first one booked for Saturday, in the City Center at Boots!
Second jab booked for Kass Stad though!

Luckily we are better at second legs than first, so you did well to get the first at Boots.

Hmmm. Just discovered that the daughter-in-law has been, and still is, 'too busy' to get her jab.
We have a family reunion booked for early July and Mrs HG was an original 'shielder' so after a pow-wow muggins was elected to tell d-i-l that if she hasn't had her jab at least three weeks beforehand then it's off.
Didn't go down well but I have to say that she's the first vaccine denier we have actually come across, everyone else we know has jumped at their chance to get a jab.

 

[beyondthefourth]

It's now available to anyone who turns 30 before July, so I've got mine booked this morning.

I will say that I have no plans to go to the Madejksi at all, it's just the only one that was available for #2! I'll be moved back to Oxfordshire by that point, and can rearrange it.

Have more proudly changed my vote to first dose. The setup at the Kassam is amazing, I was in and out within 20 mins.

Wish I had the AZ version but nm.

Oh I thought everyone was getting AZ there? Maybe younger people are getting a different one. I had my second there, back home in an hour and no after effects.

People under a certain age (35?) aren't having AZ as a precaution iirc.

I’m a denier but my birth certificate says deferent
