jab appointment

Wifey now got first jab, 35 minutes from leaving our house to getting back home again (y)

It was at a small health centre and not one of the mass vaccination sites, everything was like a military operation, in and out no problem (y)

Didn`t feel a thing just like the flu jab, home now and just taking it easy (y)

Boris, where`s mine :(
 
I'm now in the correct age group to get my invitation. It may be slightly delayed however as it transpires that Portsmouth Council have invited 600 teachers and assistants to have it according to the Sunday Telegraph.

Tsk. After all these years you still falling for what the newspapers say, Sam? ;)😁:cool:
 
Well they got a quote from the councillor in charge of education justifying the decision. I may have got my date of birth wrong though ( if only)

this could well be true. But they usually just disappear into the ether or deny all knowledge. The council leader here is usually the go to voice for good news, others get sent out when there is incoming flak

He's learning how to change nappies.
Carrie is looking after the shop.
 
I had the jab on Friday. a couple of hours later I was sweating profusely and had chills. On Saturday I was the same but also had a headache, finger joints ached, knees and lower back ached. I felt really bad and hardly ate anything. I stayed in bed till I got up this morning but I am still not quite right although the sweating has more or less gone, the joints are ok and the headache is barely there. I suppose it was like flu but I have not had that for over 20 years.
 
It does seem that the AZ vaccine has caused more minor side effects than the Pfizer one. I do wonder how those who get side effects would have reacted to the virus itself....
 
I got the letter last week and went online to book each time I finished the application I got a message saying none of my preferences were available despite the times showing on screen, so you then have to go through the procedure again from the beginning, annoying but eventually got times and date sorted and had my first jab, very impressed with the actual system set up to actually receive the jab it was like a well oiled machine in and out in about 20 minutes and had to sit in my car after for 15 minutes, no after effects at all, second jab booked for April. My wife got a phone call from the health service and booked her Jabs that way,she has had the first one done and second also booked for April, next day after her jab she received a letter offering her the Jabs, I called the office responsible for the letter and explained that she had had the first jab already so did not need a booking , no worries they said this is happening all over, so I think that needs some better organising, as a big waste of facilities there, BUT we'll done to all involved as most are volunteers giving their time and efforts for free.
 
i think the letters come from the gov but calls & texts from the local surgeries most people seem to be getting both but the surgery ones are local the letters via the website are to the mass vaccination hubs but they really are efficient multiple checks DOB national health no etc but certainly a positive experience, judging by the amount of younger folks getting jabs about 50% where i was think that when they start getting to the younger tranches might find a lot have been done as key workers etc
 
That's right Ken. We got the letter but I called in to our GP and found out we had been missed out, they should have contacted us a week ago. Not to worry, this happened on Friday and we were booked in for today (Sunday) at a local facility. We were jabbed within 5 minutes, sat for 15 minutes (because I drove there) and on our way straight after. All smooth and painless. :)
