But what if it’s not, Spitty?
You gonna come down and look after me?

Just logic mode Mups, stands to sense.

I’m not a medical person but the numbers of people having bad reactions is tiny!

Sorry to hear you had such a bad reaction though…your doctor should be able to advise you about the second jab. Good luck with that.

Many folks are having mild reactions, but so it should be, the body needs a bit of body shock.

Unfortunately the docs don’t know if it would happen again.
All he said was it ‘might not’ but this could also mean that it might.
Thanks for the good wishes though, Lindy.

Bugger the logic, Spitty.
This was serious and scared the living daylights out of me.

You should ask for an antibody test to see if you have any immunity.

That’s a damn good idea. I never thought of that. I will look into it.
Thank you.

The first jab does not tend to show T cells.

Hi

If it had been an Anaphalaxtic Reaction to the jab you would not have got home, it is immediate.

It could have been a reaction to loads of things.

There will always be people that cannot have the vaccination for good reason but, if those who can have it refuse it, they may catch it, pass it to others and reduce the hospital beds for those who can’t have it.
If Mups couldn’t care for herself or her dogs, she must have been ill.:!: I know that she found it difficult to get to the phone from her bed & in those circumstances most of us would have been scared.

Swim I know she didn’t suffer Anaphalaxtic Reaction, but there are always people who suffer from other reactions to medicines, so she would be justified in refusing the second jab if the first made her so ill.

The whole point of vaccinations is to reduce the number of people who catch this virus, to prevent it spreading to others, not cause further health problems to those who have shown it makes them ill.
It is the people who won’t have it, just because they don’t believe they need it, that will prevent us reducing the threat of this virus & killing many more people!

Australian PM, Scotty from Marketing, got his Covid vaccination today while making a galah of himself. He has all the charisma of a cabbage.

Twink, you see what I meant about some wanna-be docs diagnosing things they know nothing about?
This is why I never mentioned anything before.:roll:

@Lindyloo

Good point OGF, but a smoker never expects to get cancer, alcoholics never expect to get liver disease…you’re being offered the chance NOT to get covid and you’re not taking it! A preventative alternative is being offered…

You can still catch covid Lindy after having the vaccine, and you can still pass it on…But I don’t expect to catch Covid either…
There are still 64 million people who have not caught Covid yet, so I think the odds are in my favour…

@Mups

I must say Lindy, I don’t know Foxy’s reasons if he doesn’t want the vaccine, but I am sure he has them.

I do know that after having my first jab I was so ill I got carted off to hospital in an ambulance and was kept there for tests all day long.

Nothing was found, so the docs put it down to a severe bad reaction. I spent the next three days in bed with neighbours coming in to help with the animals.

So I can assure you I have very valid reason for being very, very wary of having any second jab.

So sorry to hear of your reaction Mups, I didn’t realise you had spent time in hospital as a result. I wished I lived a bit nearer so I could have helped out…
I also had a bad reaction to the flu jab back in 1972 and that’s one of the reasons I never had the flu jab ever again. I hope you are feeling better now Mups, and wish you well in whatever you decide to do about the second jab…:hug:

Thanks for that Foxy. :hug:

Just had my jab today - the AstraZeneca one. Fewer problems than the Pfizer one so I’m led to believe.

Just to clarify . The vaccine does not stop us from getting the virus.
It’s intention is to prevent the more serious symptoms .

Mups ,how dreadful for you and you living alone too ?
I’m sure you’re wary of the second dose .
For the record my thoughts are in keeping with those of OGF .

@spitfire

Second one should be a breeze, the body knows what to expect.

That might not be true .
You don’t grow out of an allergic reaction to things . If that’s what it was .
