Who has had their first jab?

15 days since I had the first jab. 2nd one booked. I think after 21 days there’s quite a high level of immunity. Pfizer vaccine and no adverse reaction.
 
Now onto jab 2 which I know is months away. I have checked it out and to celebrate the jabbing I will buy a slice of chocolate and orange cake.It looks delicious and is probably loaded with carbs. 12 or so weeks to go.
 
As many of us are either jabbed or on the way to being jabbed I thought I’d bring this initiative to everyone’s attention.
It’s a drive for donations to support the WHO Global COVID vaccination program.

Homemade or a shop bought treat?

Can it be injected directly into my arm?

What a brilliant incentive, I’ve donated. Thanks for the link.

Well home made by someone and to be bought from the local chi chi coffee shop (that has been open throughout every lockdown). Although I am now spoilt for choice a new French shop has just opened, I had a look today and the Cinnamon pastry (or should I say gateau) looks delicious. I have enough time to consider my options. I can do many things but alas cooking/baking is really not for me. Once again the irony doesn't escape me. Prior to diagnosis I didn't go near cakes or biscuits but now... As for intravenous, where would be the fun in that?
 
All done and dusted.
Had the Oxford vaccine, some of which is made literally round the corner from the Kassam stadium...although it then has to go several times round the country to be packed and finished before returning to where it started.
Went into the big Sainsbury’s next door to the stadium and bought a few things I can’t get locally, so killed two birds with one stone, and if my BG control goes AWOL later, it’ll probably be the fault of the doughnut that ‘accidentally' found its way into my basket, not the vaccine.
Would never have thought of it if @Sharron1 hadn't led me astray!🙂
 
I could just do complete justice to a slice of Gateau St Honore ..... nowhere locally to get any such thing though, Druckers going bust was devastating to former afficionados like me, but looking on the bright side, can't blame them for my fat .......

Ah, Robin, believe me it wouldn't be the first time that that accusation has been laid at my door. The main thing is did you enjoy the doughnut?

Haven't eaten it yet, was saving it for my afternoon cuppa, but a thought suddenly occurred to me, what happens if I start getting a reaction to the jab and go off my food? Better make sure of it now, methinks!

They come in slices? I thought they only ever made them in single portions no matter the size!

You're a smart cookie that's for sure! And I like your thinking!
Although I won't be indulging after my pricking tomorrow morning. (He says now.....)

No problems elsewhere - and the tenderness in the neck has gone now - there was slight swelling in there too, also gone.
Today is 4 days from the jab on day zero, and I am feeling quite a bit better - still some tinnitus, but far less than it was, just a background hiss not standing under a waterfall noise.
I always had problems with tonsillitis from only taking half a course of antibiotics as a young teenager to being given a new one on the market when very ill in my twenties after nothing helped and I was too ill to be sent to hospital (It was the middle of a flu epidemic) I always get a few days of sore throat whenever my immune system is challenged, though that is very few and far between these days.

Drummer I love your avator❤️
 
Even I couldn't eat one nearly a meter diameter Colin! The smallest D's did was 12 portion - they went up to 72 maximum, but you had to order them a week in advance, next day for the 12 portion. They always had a 24 portion one to buy one portion or a couple of portions in their shops.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if it comes in one box/bag etc then it’s a serving for one!

I used to get a Rupert Annual every Christmas - I have a Rupert scarf.
The annuals were thrown out with a lot of other things which would have brought in a lot of money - I still pick up any I see in charity shops.
No wonder I have always had such a vivid imagination....
 
Got the Pfilzer/ Biontech vaccine . Everything and everybody was friendly , calm and well organized .
 
I was hoping for this....
