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.

It's beyond me as to why anyone would get so upset by a sticky label. But, as they say all publicity good or bad is worth having, and it's in all of our interests to get as many people as possible vaccinated as fast as we can.

If I had given it a thought, stickergate, I would have presumed that stickers, not offered sweets so now feeling marginalised, were part of the attempt to be as positive as possible about the vaccine.

But a would sticker it more positive? I don't know, maybe, doesn't for me but each to their own. I'm just puzzled by it.

‘Ok we’re going to give you a vaccine that will highly probably stop you becoming very ill or worse and we’ll give you a sticker’

‘actually you had me at stop me becoming very ill’

Sticker what sticker? Not allowed sweets since the visit to the dentist! Just glad to get the jab to protect myself and folk with underlying conditions whom I come in contact with!

Yes we were offered nothing other than the jab, not even a date for our 2nd jab. But I don't mind and didn't expect anything 😇
