It's good to hear that members of CT are receiving their vaccinations, good luck to all those yet to have theirs. It seems like a long haul till we get everyone sorted and hear the results of the present vaccines.

I'm leaving this open for non political comments as per the guidelines. Hope you can add your own experiences and thoughts.

My first jab comes up tomorrow, I'm so glad we have research institutions that have got us this far! And I am planning breaks away in the hope of improvements on the horizon.

For "elderly couple" read the same age as many on here.

No comment about the incident concerned, most of us would respond to an emergency, it is allowed.

You speak for yourself. Yes I thought emergencies were allowed as well. Non story really.

DSB, glad to see you are back to normal, or as near as.

The good news is that I got my Oxford AZ Covid vaccine on Friday morning...

The bad news is the shivery/ flu-like/ sick-feeling symptoms after about 12 hours. Slept until after lunchtime on Saturday. Its gradually got better and now just have a little bit of a sore throat and am feeling absolutely drained.

Small price to pay though....

Much the same as my OH's reaction DSB, glad you are feeling better, pleased to hear so many on here are now getting their vaccinations.

I'm wondering if I've been conned. I got the paperwork and second appointment but as far as reactions go - nothing. It was so quick I did not see it happen, I did not feel it nor have a mark (hole) or any reaction whatsoever and that was 15 days ago.

Do you take vit D supplement ? I was advised less side effects? I have had none at all with astrazenica

Yeh feeling something similar, and i did not even get a new hole in my arm as i asked the pharmacist to use an existing hole from previous vaccinations but i did get a sticker, so i must have had the real stuff

Neither of us have had a reaction after yesterday ! It's a very odd feeling though now having had the first jab - a sort of limbo land until the booster!

We've not been given the second date. According to a local reliable source, they are only given short notice when vaccines are due to arrive. Elsewhere, I have heard that scheduled vaccines have had to be cancelled, so, reading between the lines, I'm guessing that is why our local practice have made this decision, perhaps??
