How are we getting through it?

[Steve J]

My friends Dad did the same UK Biobank test and had no measurable antibodies, so at least I'm not alone. Also at the garden centre today and another person complaining about shoulder problems post the jab, so again it's not just me falling to bits with older age!

Excellent news, Mike and Jim. 

Even though you haven't had it yet, Jim...must be a great feeling to know it's just 'round the corner....Think Von and I have still got around 4 weeks before our second jab.
As I've said before, though....I'm still going to be pretty damn careful, for a fair old time after the second jab.

Just to depress everyone the Spanish pandemic lasted almost 3 years. I hope we have a better handle on this one. Certainly the vaccination process seems to be very efficent.

I think you're right, Ian....I'm sure we're probably going to be coping with this for a fair old while yet....BUT we should have a better handle on it.

Cheers - Phil.

We're still being very careful and only going out for food shopping in the early morn to minimise exposure etc. Can't see our mindset changing for quite some time to be honest.

Wish other people were doing that Steve

Two weeks short of the 12 week period between first and second jabs and still haven't heard a thing.

Same here, Davy.

We'll probably get a phone call a couple of days before we're due to turn up.

Mindset, Steve ?.....Totally with you on that......Like you, I do the 'shop' as early as poss....I still wear disposable gloves, every time I visit Tesco's. (Plus face-mask...That's compulsory anyway, of course).....Once I've finished...Gloves off....and then use the sanitiser on my hands, once I'm back in the Batmobile)

Cheers - Mr I don't think I'm being totally paranoid.

I think you're right, Ian.

I'M ALWAYS RIGHT

Had you forgot Phil

Just got back from 2nd jab, no side effects, and so far has stopped the niggling pin  prick in lefty arm. Back off to Saint Cat's this afternoon.

Did mine through the NHS - booked 1st and 2nd at same time. 2nd due for 6/6.

Is yours through your GP?

Second AZ jab yesterday afternoon 11 weeks and 1 day after the first.  Was reminded a few days before by text to book time (I was instructed by text to attend the first).  No effects at all yet (maybe thats worrying? did it work?)  other than a slight feeling that I am wearing a hat. (which I am not).
From the stats, this area is well below national average but I am just going to drop down to "cautious sociopath" from "paranoid hermit". 

They laughed at Howard Hughes.........

Mine is 12 wks 1 day after 1st. Text from surgery, then ring to book. Booked second marshaling ses at the same time....Its one thing that runs smoothly, altough was directed into a lift with old couple who promptly exited - the shower gell can't have worked,

We had our first jab on 12th February and will get our second on 28th April but only got our appointment in a blue envelope yesterday (23rd).

My second vaccine shot was Monday. I've had a low-level fever and dull on/off headaches with added lassitude since then. Finding it hard to concentrate for long.

I'm glad I now have theoretical protection, but I'm going to keep wearing a mask in public. There are too many bloody Covid variants out there to mess around taking chances.

[Matt J]

Still no news when I'm getting first jab let alone second!
I think I'm in the minority demographic on here 

[Heedless Horseman]

Ma jabs were via phone calls from GP. Being a carer for her, I got a letter from NHS inviting me to book online. Both my bookings made at same time.

Think masks will be advisable for many situations for some time. I wear disposable gloves when shopping, etc.
