I just booked mine on the NHS site even though it apparently doesn’t start until tomorrow (I’m 38) . Got it booked for next Friday.
When did you become Mr Positive Motivational Speaker?

Because protecting your health and others around you isn't enough incentive for a sizable portion of Americans, Ohio's governor is offering $1m drawings as an incentive. Each week for five weeks, they'll draw the name of someone who's been vaccinated to receive $1m.
I actually think this is a great idea. I wish there were more of a celebratory emphasis on the vaccine rollout in Aus, have music at the vaccination centres, do it at the MCG. I haven’t seen any advertisements about vaccination here either. Most of the over 50s I’ve spoken to haven’t booked even though they’re eligible.
A classic case of the end justifying the means.It is a great idea, but it's kinda depressing that it could work. I'm hoping my governor does something similar since vaccination hesitance is slowing down vaccination in NC. Even if it were lower amounts like $100k, $250k, or $500k, I think having more winners could make it more enticing for people. I've previously thought about broader financial incentives like payments for people who get vaccinated, but I don't know that the amounts ($100 or so) would be enough incentive. If 80% of North Carolinians were vaccinated, it would cost about $3.5bn to give them all $100.
Mine is 11 weeksFolks who are getting the AstraZeneca vaccine, what’s the time between doses for you?

I've not seen similar notifications for Bolton and other affected areas, but I'm guessing we may see them soon.

I had my first jab (AZ) yesterday at 2 pm. The jab itself was almost painless, which really surprised me.
I started to feel quite unwell yesterday evening with a cracking headache and general lethargy. By 10PM I was shivering like a son of a bitch and aching all over.
I felt dreadful this morning but a couple of paracetamol took the edge off of it massively. I feel a lot better now.
24 hours of mild flu symptoms is worth it for the protection it gives you.
They'll have to get these done pretty quickly. This variant could spread like wildfire in all the unvaccinated under 40s if social distancing measures are eased further.
Having one beer during the tonight's game, day after a jab shouldn't interfere much with the immunity building? I know it is recommended not to consume alcohol around three days before and after, but one beer shouldn't matter much I would think.
Does anyone here know if it's okay for lactating women to take the AZ vaccine please?

Get well soon sweetheart
Booked in early next week at City. Wonder if I'll get the Pfizer or Moderna with me being under 40 and in the lowest exposure category.

My wife is under 40 and she booked hers today via the website. It doesn’t give any option for which vaccine you want. I can see a lot of under 40’s cancelling their appointments if they go along and it’s AZ.
You would think that it would be relatively simple to implement online as well.

Out of interest, when are people considered fully vaccinated in other countries? So they can travel etc with a status as being a vaccinated person?
In Ireland they’re going to insist that you have to have had both doses. Which is going to make AZ even more unpopular than it is already. 6 weeks wait vs 12 weeks.
Are the odd with AZ vaccine really that bad though? And do you know how soon after taking the AZ vaccine are folks getting these blood clots? Is it the day of getting the vaccine or a week or a month or a year later?I won't refuse the AZ but after reading the public health advice that I'm more at risk of blood clots from the AZ vaccine than I am from being hospitalised by Covid then I'd prefer one of the others if possible.
Good on them. I hope the national leadership will make the same choice. They've been stockpiling first doses - now would be a great moment to unlock the stockroom before hotspots turn back into hot regions again.Apparently this is the Blackburn PH team going rogue. All power to them imo - will be interesting to see how it works out.
In the US, it's two weeks after your second dose of Pfizer/Moderna, and I think it's 28 days after J&J. The intervals here for Pfizer and Moderna are 3 and 4 weeks respectively.
