Had my Covid jab last Friday. Had it earlier than my age group would suggest because of having Epilepsy (I'm in group 6) No idea why this is the case, but I'm very grateful anyway. Hopefully this will prevent me from catching this horrible disease. Folk a lot younger than my 57 years have sadly died from Covid-19.

Just had my invite. I’ve only just turned 50. They must be flying through the groups.

Boris and Hancock treated the patients?

I had my first ZA vaccination on Saturday morning (34, no underlying issues), and it absolutely floored me. Hopefully the 2nd one won't be as bad.

Had mine yesterday, had a high fever last night but a couple of ibuprofen fixed it. Didn't get much sleep but other than that I feel fine now. Second dose of AZ is better. I had the flu jab for the first time in October and it wiped me out for 4-5 days.
Worst I ever had was the old Typhoid jab. I thought someone had poured petrol on me and set me on fire.

I had the PFizer only side effect I had was a sore arm for a couple of days

Re: Vaccine Guinea Pig : Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:21 am  

Had the AZ one yesterday.
Very efficient conveyor belt operating at the local surgery.
Jabbed up and shovelling concrete 20 minutes later.
Side effect-less, happily.

Looks like Boris & Co are getting the vaccine program about right.
The UK certainly seem in better shape than most of our former friends in the EU.

Perhaps the most surprising issue, is that the delays for next month appear to be due to a batch of the "oxford" vaccine being delayed in India ??

Yes stopped by the Indian government for their own population. It sounds the same as the EU who were heavily criticised by the government but not questioned by Johnson in respect of India probably because we wants a trade deal with them.
It would appear condemnation only stretches as far as the next trade deal when everything can be forgiven or forgotten.
