Who has had their first jab?

[helli]

Your not the only one who hasn’t heard anything yet, they’ve not contacted me either..

Me neither but given Tier 6 (those of us under 65 with diabetes) has the largest number of people in it, I am not surprised we will be contacted at different times.
I don't plan to chase anyone unless I still haven't herd at the end of next month.

Having mine today, was very surprised when they called to offer me one since I'm 25 so I thought it wouldn't be my turn for a while yet.

I think T1 are higher in priority, as they should be..

What region you from ..?

North Yorkshire

My invite came by text yesterday and I had the Oxford one today. I am 60 and assume I got it because of my diabetes. I am in elmbridge.

I had mine this afternoon. I had the Pfizer one.

My arm feels a bit sore and heavy but I’m ok so far. I had a headache today anyway due to a bad night’s sleep so that’s bothering me more than my arm so far!

I’ve just had the text ... all booked for Sunday morning. Never been on sick rules so hoping my levels don’t play up . Everyday is a school day with type 1

I received a text message from the local hospital trust yesterday, which seems rather late as everyone C.E.V. was supposed to have already been offered theirs.

Not often I get to praise my G.P. surgery, but thank goodness they offered me one early. That is a month of shielding it should save me, assuming that restrictions are relaxed by the time of my second dose.

One week later and I am feeling really brilliant - yes a few side effects - sore throat and swollen neck for a few days, some coughing but I really feel bright eyed and bushy tailed now.
I wondered is it was the reverse of psychosomatic illness - but I don't do psycho anything except lose my temper - Viking ancestry to blame there - second jab can't come around soon enough for me. Well it can, but you know what I mean.

Having mine next Wednesday 24th February at 08:10 to be precise.

Just been and had the Pfizer one, very organised system, even got a sticker . Unfortunately had to come home and break the news to my staunchly antivax dad, who has taken the calm and adult response of refusing to speak to me, crying, then complaining about it on twitter. Anyone else had to deal with antivax friends/family?

Yes, I have some friends with whom I agree to disagree 😡 They put their faith in homeopathy🙄

That's not fair! I didn't get a sticker.

 

[Gwynn]

I had mine today at 11am. Really well organised. The whole experience was quite pleasant.

Pfizer. No sticker though. Perhaps time for an off8cial complaint!

No pain or after effects as far as I can tell. BG exactly the same as this morning too. Perhaps the extra exercise that I did today helped keep it stable.

That's not on, here's a virtual one for you both 🙂

Oh! I just realised I got one! they used it to stick my card to the accompanying leaflet, though, so I didn’t drop it in a puddle on the way out, and I didn’t really take on board that it was a sticker!

 

[Stitch147]

Well after feeling rough last night I didnt feel too bad today. Sore arm which was painful to raise up too high, which made filling shelves at work interesting. Arm where injection was done is lovely and warm with a lovely bump. Felt a bit more tired than normal throughout the day.

I had the muscle ache in my arm from the next day @Stitch147 - jab Sunday so that was Monday. On Weds went to bed, thinking Oooh, is this a bit OTT .... think I'll have to ring my GP tomorrow .... Thursday got up and there it wasn't !

Incidentally Pete had his first and said to the girl didn't he get a sweetie for being a good boy? - and she said No, sorry, she hadn't got any sweeties, but hang on, here's a sticker instead! Took it off his T shirt that night and stuck it on the bedroom door frame where it stayed until I decided to bin it - after all she hadn't given me one, had she!

Thought it might be interesting to see who has been offered their first Covid vaccine injection, and whether there is much difference over the country.

No need to be overly specific if you’d prefer to keep your exact location secret, but an idea of region might be interesting.

@Becka and @Docb I think you’ve has yours. Any others?

Age 71 - Hampshire first dose 5 Feb

I just had a sore arm for a day, Mum didn't have anything, my friend's brother got flu symptoms but is okay now, lady living next door to my sister says she's not having the jab because she's healthy. 🙂

Well so were many of the people with the long term effects of the virus before they caught it.
