COVID Vaccine !

[Ajax Bay]

in another post you're asking for graphics such as evidence lockdowns work locally such as the covid dashboard.

Thanks. To be clear I haven't asked for graphics nor did I ask for evidence that lockdowns work 'locally'. Those were the constructs placed in others' answers/comments.

Please could someone share a good link for me to use with someone down here (ie local) showing the direct effect of lock down on the number of cases reported daily - any country.

To use with someone down here (ie not on-line) - sorry for any confusion caused. @mjr did a neat FT alignment graphic.

I had phone call yesterday offering me jab this Saturday. All the health questions I was asked, over the phone, were to do with reaction to vaccinations and allergic reactions. Do I suffer from anaphylactic shock etc. They told me I would be there for about 20 mins. This leads me to think I may be being given the Pfizer jab. Does that sound right.

Some centres also ask you to wait after the AZ vaccine (a friend of mine was)

Lignocaine. Given in the A&E as they went to start treatment.

It was the GP that decided it was best to decline.

I've to wait until I hear from someone else now.

I've had palpitations from that at the dentist I think

I had no indication on which vaccine I will be getting, have others been told beforehand?

I haven't been told either, will find out on the night I suppose.

Im 45 with very mild asthma but have been called for vaccination on Monday.
Seems very early to be called but I’m not complaining.

Depends where you are going. Took me a good 50 mins to get the Pfizer - 15 mins was waiting after and about 5 mins max for the jab - rest was checking in and queueing.

I don't even know at what point someone decides what jab you have. GP booked me online and then I turned up at a mass centre checked in, went to gate 6 as told and joined the queue. For all I know could be pot luck which queue I had to join.

Mum in theory should have been OK with Pfizer but got turned away due to peanut allergy and had to re book for AZ.

I got told which they'd be using next week, and I'd have been given. But that after being asked about allergies/reactions to medications.

Don't let what happened to one person, who never expected to be contacted, put you off going for the jab.

I'm 45 with very mild asthma (and some irrelevant chronic illnesses) and jealousy because I have not been called.

Good luck!

I wonder whether you typed daffodils there...

Mrs SJ got her jab today, the AZ flavour. I asked her to query when mine was due as I'm a year older than her and haven't had mine yet, they told her I should have and I'm booked in for next Thursday. I wish I'd gone with her as they were running ahead of schedule and if she'd been able to say I was outside in the car I might have got a shout.

Oh, I was just wondering, not put off at all. I have no history of anaphylaxis or reactions to vaccines, so not expecting problems.

I am feeling slightly guilty, as I am only 48, but type 1 diabetic.

Why feel guilty for three things that are out of your control?
The latest two are out of everyones control.
