Hello hope everyone OK got my first vaccine this week is it normal to feel nervous but light at the end of the tunnel at the same time?
 
Mine is next week and I am nervous about it, although I can't really explain why!!

Everyone is different and feeling nervous is very common. Personally I was excited, more than I expected to be. Had it 5 weeks ago and can’t wait for the next one. The clinics are extremely well organised and I only had a painful arm for about two days and then completely back to normal. Some people have had more of a reaction but I think most, like me, had no problem. Good luck x
 
Well - we were/are all in the same boat because nobody had ever had this jab before plus it's most unlikely to be delivered in a place we are familiar with or necessarily by NHS workers we have met before - so a voyage into The Unknown for everyone. Hence, you are 100% normal to feel nervous.

I'm pretty risk averse myself - but still here to tell the tale! And as they say - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
 
Not nervous about vaccine, looking forward to first dose even if it means sore arm erratic bg for few days. Need to start getting life back to normal.
