Got my Vaccine booked in for Wednesday @ Plumstead.
Im classed as asthmatic, I take inhalers but have never actually been diagnosed so seems my Surgery is ahead of the curve and is apparently at the stage of vaccinating 16-65 year olds now, with those having issues (like me) coming first8 -

When I had my jab last week they asked me if I was taking any blood thining medication such Aspirin which I am not. But a friend was not asked and he is taking Aspirin every day. We both had the Phizer Vaccine. So why some asked and some not.

I had the Astra jab yesterday and it feels like I'm seeing stars today.
Can't seem to get warm; feeling shivery and wiped out. Every muscle in my body aches.
God, it feels worse than man-flu.

My wife had her vaccination this afternoon and I breathed a sign of relief as it went into her arm. We asked and they initially said that I should get a call in a week or so - they are way ahead of the curve in my neck of the woods. They then called me back as we were about to leave and a small prick later I was done as well. Fantastically well organised operation.Oxford AZ vaccine.22

Good news. There’s no doubt it is a massive relief to get the vaccine.bobmunro said:My wife had her vaccination this afternoon and I breathed a sign of relief as it went into her arm.

Could somebody remind me how long does it take for the vaccines to kick in? i seem to remember 2 weeks? with roughly 50% immunity.0

I believe very little protection for the first 7-14 days and then it ramps up and by 21 days it has reached its full effect.

It’s so impressive how well every vaccine centre across the country is handling this3

This is because people don't know how to gauge the response that they're having. As someone who never takes painkillers unless he's in *actual* pain I am always stunned to see the ease with which some people reach for the analgesics. I think what SHG was getting at is that whilst the nurses might state paracetamol is fine to take, you should avoid it unless you literally feel like death warmed up, as there's a possibility the efficacy of the vaccine might be a little blunted by it.stonemuse said:
And yet the nurses where I had the vaccine plus the leaflet they gave me all stated that paracetamol was recommended?ShootersHillGuru said:Can I just add that if you suffer those flu like symptoms after having a vaccine then if at all possible try not to take paracetamol or ibuprofen. The reaction you are experiencing is your bodies response to the vaccine antigen and it’s preferable to allow the body to do its thing unhindered. You are not actually ill in the traditional sense. I’m guessing that a thumping headache might make this quite difficult.3 -
Really pleased you had the vaccine, but that is no way to talk about the worker who administered it. 😉bobmunro said:My wife had her vaccination this afternoon and I breathed a sign of relief as it went into her arm.

It's starting to feel like most people on CL have been vaccinated (I haven't).
I think CAST should do a poll.5 - Sponsored links:

Our NHS Kernow can't afford them down here.
You get the jab, put your coat back on and hustled straight out of the back door into the teeth of a bitter East wind.
We'm tough down here booy.

I see quite a few on here have had the Pfizer vaccine. Is there still objections from Pfizer when it comes to the amount of time the 2nd jab is administered? They were saying 21 days but the government are looking at 12 weeks, same as the Oxford one.0

When I had mine yesterday my wife came with me and I asked If she could have hers as well, (she is 62 and suffers from asthma), they said no. This was at the Sovereign Centre in Eastbourne.0

I take it you've had a similar reaction?
Anyway, all things pass.
