Over a certain age in England? Book your Covid vaccine

[Ming the Merciless]

32 year olds can book, we'll be into the 20somethings next week at this rate.

I think government aim is all adults had at least one dose by sometime in July.

What's the latest info on <18s? Any intention to offer the vaccine to them?

The vaccines need to undergo trials in children first. I believe the trials are happening at the moment. Children often have different dosing requirements and reactions compared to adults.

Is the vaccine safe (in children)?
Is the vaccine effective (in children)?
What is an appropriate dosing regime for a child?
What are the different side effects children might see?

2nd jab (astra zeneca) next Wednesday, 10 weeks after my first, wife is booked in for her second at the same time as well.

2nd jab done this morning, almost exactly 9 weeks since my 1st, AZ one.

All done very efficiently just like the 1st, in and out in 10 minutes, around 30-40 people there in the queue.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Four days on and no side effects other than high intensity exercise felt blunted on day two. Wife has her second jab tomorrow. We have them on several days apart so that at least one of us should feel okay at any time.

Me and wife had our 2nd AZ shots on Wednesday. The first jab gave us no side effects at all, for the 2nd I got mild shivers when I went to bed at about 2230 (jab at 0930) which stopped after about 10 minutes and a paracetamol. Mrs D had no side effects again.

Bring forward your second jab (from 12 weeks to 8):

A younger friend can vouch for this. It's a risk, because you have to cancel to see new appts, but she went for it and just moved her 2nd jab forward by four weeks.

Is there a risk? I've not heard of anyone being unable to bring a jab forward, so unless there are documented examples, I think you're wrong to suggest a risk.

When I cancelled my 2nd appt, I was immediately offered number alternate appts including next day (approx 3 weeks early), plus there was an enormous choice of local GP practices, pharmacies and vaccination centres; or I could supply a different postcode if I wanted to be jabbed near work (for example). No worries at all.
