You’re welcome 
He can still give you covid post vaccination…
Have had the same problem LD but was on ranitidine until after they pulled it because it’s meant to be carcinogenic. Well so is GERD… grr.
I know, it’s a no win situation really. 
sorry to hear you suffer from it too Annie.
My wife had her vaccine this evening, at 6pm in the local surgery. Must say, it was very efficiently run, with lots of old un’s coming and going. I’ll have to wait a while, being a tad younger. Oh the problems of being a toyboy! She had the Pfizer jab. I’m hoping for that one too, with hopefully a freebie with that other product they have, that also gives one a big boost! 
It’s good to hear your wife has had her jab John.
Please let us know how she is for the next few days.
Thanks LD. I really should be more careful about diet and lifestyle but ultimately having a chest bug is what sets off my cough. The one good thing about the lockdown etc is that there is little chance to be infected with the sort of thing that sets that off.
They should do more research into this condition instead of pumping people with antacids which can be very hard to withdraw from once you are hooked. It seems there’s a blinkin epidemic.
I got a phone call last night just before 7.00 p.m to ask if I could make it to the vaccination centre before 7.45 p.m. It was only around a mile away, so I went and got it done. It was the Pfizer vaccine.
Well done Mart!
You couldn’t get a quicker appointment than that.
Full marks to the NHS (and Boris)
Please keep us updated how you are feeling.
No ill-effects other than slightly being able to feel where the needle went in.
The vaccination centre was a hive of efficient activity. Very well organised. Chairs were wiped down between patients. An area to sit down for 15 minutes before leaving. Chairs well-spaced.
Brilliant!
The staff certainly look after you there, they have a good routine now.
It is lovely to hear all the positive comments regarding the vaccinations because the more people that have them the faster the country will reduce the number infected.
Hey Mart, it sounds like one of the nurses must fancy you if they were so keen to get you in for your jab. 
I reckon I’m beyond that stage now I think the Pfizer vaccine can’t be kept for too long once out of the freezer and can’t be re-frozen. It possibly comes out in batches and if there aren’t enough people with planned appointments to use a up batch, they perhaps start phoning around to see who can get there at short notice. Just a maybe.
I am 83 and had my first jab yesterday. Absolutely no side effects today. Not even a sore arm. My second one is on 27th March exactly 10 weeks later.
That’s great news Scot, I’m pleased to it went well for you.
It’s also good that you have been told when your second jab will be. We haven’t been told that, just that we will be called again in the next 3 to 12 weeks.
I haven’t been given a date for the second jab. Also having to wait until called.
Australian authorities are seeking more information about one of the COVID-19 vaccines set to be used locally, following a warning from officials in Norway.
There have been a small number of deaths among older people in Norway who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and suffered side effects.
The Norwegian Medicines Agency last week reported a total of 29 people had experienced side effects, including 13 who died.
All the deaths occurred among patients in nursing homes and all were over the age of 80.
If there’s a risk, it will maybe come down to how many deaths or illnesses could be caused by the vaccination versus how many deaths or illnesses could be caused by not having it.
They are supposed to have a list of people they can call on short notice so any left-over vaccine can be used up. (Sir Stephen Whatsisface said so on The Andrew Marr Show this morning.)
It was suggested in todays paper that any left over vaccine be used to give front line staff who are looking after covid patients all day long, their second jab to help keep them safe and working.
We need them to keep doing their job.
Seems fair enough to me.
