I got the call

No reaction at all from the jab.

HOWEVER as its now my eighth day since I had any alcohol with another two days to go, things could start to go rapidly downhill.

Dezi 🤒

Good to hear from you Alf. (y)

We got our letters this morning to book a jab but we will wait to hear from the GP. Otherwise it is a trip into Newcastle City Centre and parking in the multi-storey car park.
 
When the surgery called the other halve they said the centre that she booked with was fully booked when they called after two days. If you're going to go the centre route then get online quickly and be prepared to be flexible.
 
I'm tending to think the same as Jim.
Will sit tight and wait for GP (y)

In this instance I don't fancy schlepping into the 'Toon' and having to faff about finding a parking space for the Centre for Life.
 
Had my written invitation Monday, booked for today, and chose to drive an hour to a larger town. It was a drive out, legally visiting somewhere different, and it felt like fun.

Now back and looking forward to our daily walk this afternoon....... Obviously continuing to fully maintain all the social distancing rules. 👍

I'm astonished how well the age related vaccination programme is running, and cannot understand the mind set of anyone choosing not to take the offer up.

We can almost see the Centre for Life cross the Tyne from here. The problem is the constant rain we are having is putting us off as the forecast is no change ... except to get colder and the rain turning to snow. :(

I have just had to cancel my vaccination having just received a letter from the research team of the trial treatment i volunteered for when admitted to hospital with covid. Part of the treatment was receiving 2 bags of anti bodies which could effect the effectiveness of the vaccine. Now rescheduled for late next week as this week is within the three months and they wouldn't do it. My appointment this week was only 3 days within the 3 month period. 😞 😞 Try again next week.
Last week I was in for lung xrays for trial information.The trial has now finished.
The preliminary analysis based on 1873 reported deaths among 10,406 randomised patients shows no significant difference in the primary endpoint of 28-day mortality (18% convalescent plasma vs. 18% usual care alone; risk ratio 1.04 [95% confidence interval 0.95-1.14]; p=0.34). Follow-up of patients is ongoing and final results will be published as soon as possible.

That's what it says in the letter.

You get a choice; wait for GP to contact and get jabbed locally.
Alternatively, go online or ring a freephone number to book your appointment at a vaccination centre.
In our case, here 'oop norf' that would be the Centre for Life in Newcastle.

GP will probably be in touch before the end of this week, hopefully.

They were aiming to get groups 1 to 4 vaccinated by mid-February, so if they're on track I don't expect to be waiting too long.(y)

The Second COVID-19 Shot Is a Rude Reawakening for Immune Cells
Side effects are just a sign that protection is kicking in as it should.

Everybody should read this so you know what to expect, and it might help stop all the worrying! ;)

Interesting read. I wonder if my first jab will have a similar effect, given that I should now have some antibodies.
 
Looks like there is going to be light at the end of this dark tunnel, what next for us though, maybe a vaccine for a reaction to pine. 😱
