Covid-19 Vaccinations

:lol::lol::lol:

Your ā€œshorter time adaptionā€ contention is news to me - where can it be substantiated ā€¦ :017:

One dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine provides sustained protection against Covid for at least three months and cuts transmission of the virus by two-thirds, according to research that appears to support the UKā€™s decision to delay booster shots.

Analysis of fresh data from three trials found that the first shot conferred on average 76% protection against symptomatic infections from three weeks until 90 days, and reduced transmission of the disease by 67%.

The findings are preliminary, and still under review at The Lancet, but if they stand up to scientific scrutiny would reassure public health officials that prioritising more vulnerable people for a first shot of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is a sound strategy.

I am going to get my first Covid vaccination on Friday morning at an authorised pharmacy 3 miles away.
They tell me I am likely to have a sore arm & maybe a slightly raised temperature for 2-3 days but then I should feel back to normal.
I am hoping it is the Astra Zeneca vaccine, owing to the good news about that one, but I donā€™t really mind if it is another one.
Look on the bright side, I have arranged for my sister to do all the housework & cooking over the weekend! :lol:

Second shots of the vaccine are allready being administered!!
Over 500,000 have received their second jab this week so far !!
Are we ahead of schedule ??

Donkeyman!

I agree. I hope for the same when my time comes.
None of this foreign muck.

Iā€™ve arranged for Marge to do all the housework and cooking.

Can you provide a link for that news, please DM?

They have to warn you about side effects - but they are only possibilities not givens! :smiley:

I had mine yestermorn and the only side effect was the urge to do a raid on the Butcherā€™s on my way home!

Donā€™t be too hasty to leave the recovery room folks, with all these new strains we are going to be on first name terms with administersā€¦:cool:

Did you get Clubcard points?

Mrs LD had hers yesterday (Pfizer) She had slight nausea for about an hour (that could have been due to my driving, trying to get her there on time after work:lol:) but all in all, no side effects and no sore arm. :mini:

It was really well organised and cars were constantly entering and leaving the car park. One of the oganisers was telling me that on Sunday they injected 900 people and that was considered an easy day. Yesterday was on course for being double that. Well done to all involved.

When I had mine ( Pfizer) my arm hurt where I had the jab and I felt tired and had headache the next day, Mrs p,s aunt had hers ( Oxford) and felt very unwell for a day but otherwise ok
Son had his on Monday ( Pfizer) and, apart from a sore arm , heā€™s been okā€¦

I had my jab this morning.Had headache this afternoon,took paracetamol and had a snooze on the settee.My arm isnā€™t sore so thatā€™s one good thing.I attended a mass vaccination centre,it was very well organised.

Itā€™s good to hear there has been no long term upsets with the vaccines.:slight_smile:

I have got my jab in just under one hours time, tonight.

No idea which one I will be having till I get there.
Just hope I donā€™t feel rough tomorrow.
Fingers crossed ey. :slight_smile:

Oh dear. Of the many feelings of illness that are on offer, feeling sick is the one I really hate.

Another reason why I want an AZ one.

Mups :slight_smile: just try to relax while having the jab, it will be over before you can blink. My fingerā€™s are crossed for you but Iā€™m sure you will be alright ā€¦ good luck!

There was a Covid webinar on YouTube at four oā€™clock this afternoon.
Sorry not to have mentioned it, but I was watching it!

Strange how there are so many different reactions. I reckon the sore arm bit is dependant on who does it. Mrs LD is normally the first to have some sort of reaction to a jab but this time it was perfect.

Is was only mild JBR and only lasted about an hour after we got home.
