They're still monitoring all the vaccines, but from what they were saying there is every possibility we may go down this route.

A request for more volunteers for the research was aired radio 4 just now. People who have had first vaccine to have a different one..over age 50yrs. Including a couple of extra brands on existing programme.

yup - but the program is full :(
I read about that a couple of hours ago, clicked on the link and found no more people need apply.
maybe they will expand when the two or three new vaccines come on line again?

heard a few minutes after posting, they only wanted 1000 people.
 
We had the jabs around 11:30 yesterday. I started getting a slightly painful top part of the arm in around 11PM, pretty much ok now with very slight 'bruising' type feeling if I press it. The OH on the OH got her whole arm painful within a few hours and still a bit of pain plus headache now (both classed as 'very common' side-effects according to the Pizer leaflet handed out). All super-minor stuff compared to benefits :)
 
Booked my first last night as they opened it upto 45yrs and over (I am 50next month), last night I had the astra one at 11 this morning. Was dreading it as I hate needles but it was all ok quite a few people in the sports hall at edge hill university waiting was 20mins after appointment time.

Booked it and then done within 24 hours! pretty good going there (y)
 
Keep getting calls about the vaccine from UK! Very efficient to follow up but shame they haven't marked their records that we will be done on return! Gp has stopped calling now so guess they have updated. Think if one was anti- vaccines it could get irritating! ;)

A relief for the over 70s we know nearby is that they will get their 2nd jabs on 27th April, 3 days before the 12 weeks is up. None have yet had a letter but have got the appointments by phoning the helpline.

Much the same with us Ruth !
 
Group of us +70s in the central belt and a few borderers have all now had second jab or are getting it this week [big blue envelope notification] . All well within the 12 week target [virtually all less than 11 weeks]
Have heard AZ second jab , if no reaction to first , is liable to cause a reaction ?
Maybe just another of the many myths flying about these days

Another one from just south of the central belt. Had my 2nd jab today at East Kilbride. Much better organised since I had the first one there on 8th Feb. Bit of a trip out as its 35 miles from home and takes just under an hour to get there. Had the Pfiser jab so now waiting for the reaction!
