COVID Vaccine !

[MrGrumpy]

I’ve been hearing this as well with second jabs ?! I was fine with the first other than a sore arm obviously.

 

[Landsurfer]

Fine with the first jab, fine with the second, no sore arm after either. And i was diagnosed with covid 16th of February.
My biggest worry is being bitten by Count Dracula and other vampires after the antibodies in my blood .....

 

[guitarpete247]

I've had both jabs and no side effects.
Only problem I had was having trouble getting a alternate date for blood doning after 1st jab.
Blood doning is a new experience but I've seen lots of changes over the years since '87.

Pfizer Jab

The wife and I had a very mild sore arm after the first injection as the only side effects.

After the second the wife had the same mild sore arm but mine was painful, only lasted a day though.

I had Pfizer Mrs GP had AZ and gets 2nd at end of the month. She had 1st on a Sunday and felt a bit off on the Monday but OK by the Tuesday.

Apparently they are going to reduce the time between doses for over 50s from 12 weeks to 8 weeks.
Are they going to reschedule all the appointments already made or is it just another unworkable Boris platitude.

 

[stoatsngroats]

I just booked my 2nd dose, close to home, on NHS website, 8 weeks and 5 days after my first, without issue, and the website picking up that this would be my 2nd dose.
Unworkable Boris platitudes seems a bit judgemental to me, as the system appears to be working pretty well for a large number of people.

Why is your assumption that this is a Boris thing. Christ, honestly the level of cynicism is bewildering.

I wish you could see what I am doing this morning.........

OK. So 8 week schedule only for those who don't already have their 2nd jab appointment. Mine - booked a while back - is for 11 weeks and 6 days after my first.
It would seem more sensible to me to prioritise younger people's first dose in hotspot areas.

Do you think that they only plan for one thing at a time?

8 week schedule for those in the top 9 priority groups who have not yet had their second dose is the plan. Under 50s will continue at the moment at 12 weeks.

They still need to prioritise. Hotspot areas would be my priority.

I'll be expecting a call bringing my appointment forward then?

 

[SpokeyDokey]

They still need to prioritise. Hotspot areas would be my priority.

It was announced yesterday that additional resources were being poured into hotspot areas. Here's todays BBC update:

I'm another who should strictly have my second jab now, but I'm booked in for early June so I'll wait, unless someone calls me.

You don’t know my personal circumstance, so another judgement on your part.
And as others have posted, there isn’t one plan, and it should respond to changes, as it appears to be doing.
I couldn’t say whether you ‘should expect a call’ for a revised earlier booking.

My assumption based on what you said is that you fall into groups 1 - 9 and have just booked your second jab. If I am wrong, I apologise
