@N01R4M Thank you. Those articles are very informative. I just have had two of my wisdom teeth removed recently. I will book my vaccination in the near future.
I had wondered how my Health Centre would split things, and it's by the type of vaccine rather than the number, so today was AZ and Pfizer will be tomorrow

I was meaning to ask how the trip to the dentist went, @Jessie. I hope you haven't been in too much discomfort since.
New Public Health England (PHE) analysis shows for the first time that individuals who receive a single dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine have approximately 80% lower risk of death with COVID-19 compared with unvaccinated individuals.
The report also shows protection against death from the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine rises from approximately 80% after one dose to 97% after 2 doses.
Separate new PHE analysis also confirms the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is highly effective in reducing the risk of hospitalisation, especially in older ages.
With restrictions lifted completely in 6 weeks time how are the unvaccinated 18-40s feeling?
Given it takes 3 weeks to be effective I’m pretty certain I won’t be invited in time to be “first dosed” for opening up. I realise that the older group should bring about a level of immunity in the population but it makes me a little anxious.
I have oval tickets for the 24th and I was convinced I’d be vaccinated by then when I booked them!

Shouldn’t you have tried to get tickets for headingly........sorry!
will you have to prove a negative test to go? I’ve had both vaccinations and I’m a bit nervous about going back to normal but the other side of the point...
did you go to the Charlton v Middlesbrough game? What were you doing early March 2020? For a very short time in 2020, we were living normally with covid spreading. Easier said than done but try to enjoy the freedom with numbers low and a high number of people vaccinated.
Wife , who took a spare Pfizer that was left over from place where mother in law was volunteering , got a call up to book her 2nd only 3 weeks and a day after her first . There was a lot of confusion when she got down there cos some were saying its too soon , luckily a doctor was there to say 3 weeks is the minimum gap for pfizer and she was allowed her second jab. Only side effect , her hatred levels of me have increased .

Feeling slightly under the weather today, a perfect excuse to slob around being lazy!

Try not to be anxious.
Even if you catch Covid, the chance of anything happening is small compared to the risks you face in the next few years of your life anyway.
Check your blood pressure, exercise regularly, eat and drink sensibly. This will have a far greater benefit on your personal safety than any vaccine.
The vaccine is primarily for the safety of others.

I had my first vaccine on 27th Feb. Because of a strange reaction which started the day after, I’ve been told to await a decision by an allergy team as to whether I have the second jab under medical supervision in hospital.
In the past week, the vaccination team at my local community hospital have called me several times about booking my jab. I’ve explained my situation each time but last night, they rang again saying that there’d be prepared to use an alternative vaccine (AZ) to my first one.
My GP confirmed that no decision has been made about having different vaccines. Just thought it strange that they would make that offer.

When were you told to wait for the allergy team? Were you given a rough timeframe to hear from them? Depending on the above I would chase them up as your 12 weeks is getting close.

@AddicksAddict Thank you for asking. It went quite smoothly. Felt some pain the night after the operation but didn't need any painkillers. It's been 9 days now. I started to eat normal food instead of porridge 5 days ago, albeit only using the other side of the mouth/teeth. The dentist said it will take at least 3 weeks to fully recover so I'll just have to wait.
Just got the text and booked, but I'm only 31! I assume Winchester are ahead of the game, as entering my (correct) DOB meant I could select a time - roll on next Monday!
I got my first jab 18th Feb a week early after being called one evening as they had some left over. Was advised to cancel original appointment so that somebody else could use the slot which I promptly did. With 2nd jab due I phoned up Monday as had not received an invite. They said I would never have been invited for the second one as I had cancelled the first!

They’ve promised me an answer this week, as I’ve been chasing them for the past 2.
As you say, I’ve only got a couple of weeks to go before the 12.

Around a million text messages are being sent to 38 and 39-year-olds in England, inviting them to book an appointment for a Covid vaccine.
Booking will open from 07:00 on Thursday on the NHS website.
Pregnant women will be directed to centres offering Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, NHS England says.
