Booked my second jab for next Friday, 8 weeks after my first which I got from leftovers at a pharmacy. Very impressed that the booking system recognised it was my second jab, and presumably limited my choice of venue to those using AZ.
(Wish I hadn't taken up the leftover as I'm under 40, but no clots so must be safe by now).
The vaccine roll out has really been a shining light in a pretty dark 18ish months, credit where it's due.
What May not help is in my left arm many years ago after a car accident I had several plates fitted in my shoulder joint ad I’d smashed it to bits
If it is already aching, it may be the idea place to have the jab. I had the second jab last Monday and whilst my arm hurt after the first one, I seem to have cleared the second one scot free!

Had moderna jab last night - arm is in agony and difficult to sleep so pretty tired any Tips on how to stop it from hurting?.
Sounds normal for Moderna. All my friends in US who have had this vaccine have struggled a lot for a couple of days after first and second jab. Just take it easy as much as possible.

The second jab was better for me.
Yes, likewise - second AZ jab was side-effect free whereas the first one was like a mild head cold and an achy arm.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has approved a second Chinese vaccine for emergency use. CoronaVac was found to be 51% effective at preventing COVID-19 in late-stage trials, and researchers say it will be key to curbing the pandemic.
This overall protection is lower than that provided by the seven other vaccines already listed by the WHO. But, importantly, trials suggest that CoronaVac — an inactivated-virus vaccine produced by Beijing-based company Sinovac — is 100% effective at preventing severe disease and death.
(@Jessie, Nature is a well-regarded peer-reviewed periodical)
I noticed a few days ago that CoronaVac has been used extensively in Chile, to good effect. Perhaps that was the additional data the WHO had been waiting for?
Thank you so much for sharing that Nature article.
CoronaVac was used in Serrana (a town in Brazil). incredible figures. as part of an experiment they vaccinated almost all adults and the town saw deaths fall by 95% and hospitalisation by 86% Meanwhile the surrounding areas continued to spike

Aching and shivering and a sore arm is quite normal. It should only last a day or two, so just do as little as possible, whilst your body is busy building those early anti bodies. Hope you feel better soon and sure you will.
Second jab of the AZ done, feeling a bit ropey but not too bad, arm looks like it's a bit sunburned in the general area a d very stiff but nothing painkillers can't deal with.
Had my first Pfizer dose on Saturday! No real side effects, except feeling a bit hot yesterday evening - but may have been the weather combined with sitting in a stuffy car for a couple of hours. Felt like I had been punched in the arm for a day or two but feel fine this morning, got a slight itchy bump where I think the jab was, but apart from that got no side effects anymore.
Great happy friendly vibe at the vaccination centre. Looking forward to getting my second dose in august.
this morning back to normal-ish still arm aches but that's it, wiped me out for the weekend and did feel v rough but paracetamol/ibuprofen got me through and get to do it all over again end of august.
Just had mine done and now sitting in the tent for 15 minutes before I'm aloud to go. I know everyone is different when it comes to needles but I honestly didnt feel a thing. Hadn't even realised he had pricked me until he said all done. Ooo err.

15,000 fans in the Metropolitano tonight for Spain v Portugal. Should be getting my second dose there in next few weeks ☺️
Only side effect - I can no longer walk past the pub on the way home, it seems.

If I feel like I did after the first, I won't be going.

Hope you feel better very soon

Under 30s to be offered vaccine from this week, says Hancock
The majority of people in hospital are now unvaccinated, says Hancock. That is a "challenge for them" but shows vaccination works, he says.
Vaccination is being opened up to the under 30s from this week, says the health secretary.
