Text - Vaccine

[londonlad1939]

I am a 37 year old healthy guy, don't smoke and I'm in fairly good condition, to my surprise and excitement I've just had a text from my GP offering me an appointment for the vaccine, Thankyou very much I am all over that can't wait.

Well done that man. They seem to be getting through the nation pretty quickly now. I had mine 2 weeks ago. Makes you feel like dancing around the room with joy. I had a few glasses of Harvey's Bristol Cream to celebrate

(OK, it was all I had in the cupboard)

Got a text from gp surgery on Friday, booked in for next Saturday

Had mine on Saturday before lunch and by 4pm I was rough as a badger! Skin was extremely sore to the touch, joints aching and generally spaced out (very flu-like but no congestion). Paracetamol and ibuprofen improved matters massively, went to bed last night expecting more of the same but woke up this morning feeling 100% with no more ill effects at all. Happy bunny now though with some protection on board so worth the day feeling grotty I’d say Astra Zeneca btw!

Got my text at 10.30 this morning ,went online and booked the first date and time available which was 12.50 this afternoon, went and had it done all smiles from me and a big thankyou to all the staff at the vaccination centre for their efficiency in a job well done

Most people I have spoken to have some ill effects, Mother said she felt tired the next day, friend said she ached all over, if it lasts a day and protects me I can cope with that

I had no effects at all, even the sore arm was far less than the flue jab I get every year, Oxford Zenica.

[Keyolder]

I felt a bit woozy the morning after but that soon passed, my arm also felt a bit heavy but again that passed

[eggy]

Hadn't heard a thing & our GP is --- censored word --- , so phoned up.
"Have some slots ,when would you like it"
Would anyone have bothered to contact me. I doubt it ,even though on the vulnerable list.
Know of others that are getting it of same age but with nothing wrong Wath them

my boss and his wife - both early 40's - have had their jabs, but neither of us - both mid 50's (& my wife works in a school) - have been offered it yet.

we can't wait to get the jab!

Received my text yesterday and all booked in for next week. I was surprised to receive the text so soon. I am in my 50's. I am guessing the vaccination roll out is going better than hoped.
