It’s good to read a few more of you have your vaccinations booked in the next few days … hope it all goes well for you. 
I’m glad your Dad is ok Queenie… 
He should have 99% after the second vaccine. It just means he has to shield for longer.
My understanding of these MRNA vaccines is that they do not stop you catching covid, they stop a severe illness. I’m not sure how that compares with the usual vaccines. They have said that they are not sure whether you can still pass it on.
A step nearer vaccination I just checked my GPs website and they have started on group 4. There are 1000 patients in this category and we are asked to check phone and text messages for alerts to go in.
That’s good news Meg, I hope you will receive your invitation very soon.
Thanks Mags
I have just had a phone call from my sister saying that one of our cousins (87) had died from covid19 in a nursing home. She had the vaccine at Christmas but was very frail and I believe in the DNR category.
That’s sad news Scot 
my condolences to you and your family.
Had a call yesterday from my doctors surgery, asking if I wanted the vaccine jab today, Friday at 1300hrs. Obviously I said yes, and got sorted out at that time. Superbly organised it was, and well done to all involved!
Great news John 
Sad news Scot sounds like the vaccine came too late for your cousin …
That was quick work John not much notice then .
Well done John, pleased to hear it went well 
I phoned my friend this evening because I knew she was having her first jab today, and I wondered how she got on.
The phone rang for ages, and I was just about to ring off when she answered. She was in bed. (It was only about 8 pm).
She said she had a sore throat, couldn’t get warm, and ached all over. :shock:
Could that possibly be a reaction so quickly, within about 12 hours? Is that possible I wonder?
She swears she felt fine this morning.
I will ring her tomorrow to see how she is and report back.
I don’t know which vaccine it was yet.
I hope your friend will feel better tomorrow Mups.
I wonder if she was 100% fit when she had the vaccination 
I don’t know any more yet, Mags. I didn’t want to keep her talking as she didn’t sound her usual self at all.
Like I said though, she reckons she was fine earlier this morning. She is a very active person normally, always on the go, barely sits down all day, so this is very out of character.
She also said the Indian woman did it, really hurt her. Odd, isn’t it.
Will try and talk to her tomorrow, and find out a bit more.
So far 11 of our members have reported having had the jab or have an appointment made for a few days time.
I’m hoping to see a few more names on here as they work their way through the age categories.
That’s a shame, I can honestly say I hardly felt the needle at all, it was over and done in no time.
If you speak to her tomorrow Mups, ask her if she has a temperature. I was thinking if she did have a temperature, maybe she should report it to the wherever she had it done … just in case she was a carrier (which I sincerely hope she wasn’t:-()
Yes, good idea Mags.
There are definitely some people better than others at injecting us though.
There is a woman at the blood clinic not far from me, and I refuse to see her now, because she has made a right old mess of my arm twice now.
Nobody else does, it is only her.
Ooer, just had a thought - this one I don’t like is Indian also! Wonder if it’s the same one?
Blimey, if it have to see her I will just have to refuse. :shock:
