Covid - news and views

Having a reaction is considered a good sign as it shows that your immune system is reacting as it should.  Enjoy .

I wish our teacher daughter and her fellow teachers could be vaccinated before school returns. Our daughter also works with adults with learning disabilities and I think they are particularly vulnerable. At present, as well as her usual school work she's doing a fortnightly delivery of art work to their homes, she says they love having this delivery (and their parents too!) but it's all at a safe distance just now. Once they all start mixing again it will be a different matter. I expect some of the older qualifying teachers will be having the vaccination just now but not the younger ones.

I am about to prepare a cauliflower cheese and some pigs in blankets for evening meal and then probably go for a lie down as I am tired! 

It's odd that it's not the same everywhere. My niece teaches special needs, the school goes right through the age range, but is currently on maternity leave was jabbed last Saturday as Essex County County have decided they are a priority. Not heard of other teachers or frontline being prioritised.

EasyT I hope your reaction passes quickly, I fear OH may have had similar, but these days it's hard to tell......... he had Pfizer what about you?

My body doesn't like visitors 🙁 so will be interesting to see after tomorrow. Not had a jab for 5 years, don't recall terrible reaction so fingers crossed.

EasyT. You could have done pancakes today...but that would probably make your arm ache...

I had the Oxford -AZ Bakers. Now I no longer have a headache and only a stiff shoulder and tiredness I am fine. I can always go to bed for a couple of hours and probably will. Not much else planned 

Good luck with your jab B2, better to have it and put up with a few side effects (but hopefully not!)

Unusually I bought some ready made ones on Monday whilst shopping just in case. So that will suffice. 

The NHS has expressed the wish to get the number of vaccination per day up to one million per day.  The best achieved so far has been about 600k.  I have no doubt the new ambition will be achieved but I am also  wondering how many people (medical professionals of all sorts and volunteers of all sorts) such an undertaking will take per day.  

I thought the supply of vaccine was the limiting factor on the number of doses administered at the moment.
