Good to see. US and UK take note.
The vaccines | vaxxed boosted unvaxxed? New poll
- Thread starter Badunk
- Start date
Just had my vaccine. 15 minute wait time!
First vaccine done. All good, worst part was the tension leading into it to be honest. The jab itself was a bit of a bad pinch feeling and my arm is a little sore now 1 hour out. My girlfriend actually got it done at the same time and she didn't feel anything at all and still has no arm pain. Second dose in 6 weeks, can't come soon enough.
To be fair, from the article @pocco posted, he said that the vaccinations caused variants (not that the vaccinations will kill us all). Which to some degree is true, effective vaccines will either kill the virus, or make it evolve faster to be able to avoid the vaccine. So what he said was fairly trivial.
Of course, the nonsense that we are doing wrong by vaccinating is just nonsense. The numbers are going fast down just because of this, and so far, the vaccines (especially the two good ones) seem effective against all variants.
Everyone is different - we have different skin thickness, different arm musculature and of course, some nurses or doctors are better than others at giving jabs.
Absolutely. It makes sense and I'm not complaining. Just sharing the experience I had. It was quite cool actually, they let us get it done together so we had the same nurse/doctor and were the room for each other's jab.
It was this that, if reported correctly, was the insane bit.
Had my 2nd Moderna shot this afternoon. The nurse said to me that because of the type of vaccine I should expect getting flu like responses. Tonight I feel like I’ve been battered. Sore bones. Hopefully no chills will start
Good job Geebs.
That should be a nice relief for you.

Getting my first jab tomorrow. Keep telling my fiancé I’m going to shout ‘Fauci ouchie!’ when I get my jab (she’s getting hers just before me).
Got my jab Tomorrow!!!
I don't know how it works, I've had two AZs and no reaction whatsoever. Still it's the protection that matters, 2 or 3 weeks to wait and you'll feel a weight off your shoulders.
Weird side effect to have.
He's a simple Aussie, you can tell him anything.
I guess he did his research on YouTube listening to Alex Jones.
Got the jab.. Covishield (AZ)
Feel uneasy not sure if that's the vaccine or anxiety

30 and 31 year olds can now book in the UK.
It’s a relief in a way that you’re relieved to be suffering from a bad flu. Can’t wait till it does it’s stuff
And on Wales approach to vaccination generally. Basically they've run two parallel programs - AZ over 40, Pfizer for 18-39 - and sidestepped the gradual "go down the agegroups" plan used in England and Scotland.
Presumably there must be at least some Welsh towns/cities with similar demographics to NW England. Has the Indian variant got any kind of foothold in Wales at all?
Had my second AZ shot two days ago. About an hour after, had abdominal pain and slightly blurred vision. Feeling a lot better now, but have had two days in bed with a temperature/aches. Seems to be clearing up nicely though now.
So weird, had absolutely no side-effects bar a sore arms after my first.
Still - absolutely buzzing to have got it all done!

It’s a good thing, suggests you had no immune response last time and your body has learnt to produce an immune response now.
Congratulations, the rest of your life before you're incinerated in two years begins now!
They've got such low case rates at the moment that mutation data is more like background noise. The daily case numbers for the whole of Wales are around 40/day - whereas we're looking at 150+ cases/day in Bolton alone.
That's not to say it couldn't take off suddenly - it's just that I wouldn't look to Wales for data on mutations at the moment.
As an Aussie in my late 20s I think I will be getting fully vaccinated sometime in 2022 at the earliest.
Scotty from Marketing and the libs have fecked it up at an astounding level.

I just hope the vaccines work as advertised. Hospital admissions in the UK are starting to creep up, again.
But on the plus side, you don't have 100,000 plus dead.
Is that true? If you don't have a reaction to the vaccine, does that mean you're less protected?
Even working exactly as advertised we can expect a lot of vaccinated people to get sick and some of them will end up in hospital. Although the vast majority of those recent admissions are likely to be young/unvaccinated.
I don't think that's true. At least from what I read up on it.
30+ opened up here earlier today. First jabs early-mid June second a month later. From next week the whole of Italy will be able to book.
Had my second Moderna yesterday!
initially has a sore arm, by night time I had heat everywhere over my body, every bone hurt, a little blurred vision, staggering and so so tired. This morning was still groggy, lay in bed till 10am. As the day has gone by I’ve felt much better, I think tomorrow after a good sleep I’ll be grand!

Sorry about those side effects, but I'm really glad you're "done" now.
Sounds like you're hungover, a kebab will sort you right out!
Seems to be a breakthrough on the clotting issue for AZ / J&J vaccines...
Me too I’m delighted, mrs had her second today too
Anyone over 18 can now apply for a jab in Northern Ireland:

Not quite sure why they've done it that way. They say they've got very limited supply, but they've opened up the booking system.

Everytime I try to book its giving me vaccination centres over 30 miles away? I want one but not going to travel that far for it, is this normal? I'm in the UK.
I think that's fairly common on the centralised system. You might get a more local booking through your GP depending on how the locally managed roll out is going.
