I hope I’m right in saying this but if that’s the case then there has been a mix up. I’ve not read anywhere where mixing vaccines is licensed in the U.K. unless it’s part of a research programme. It may well transpire that mixing has a beneficial effect but that’s still being looked at. Perhaps I’m wrong but I don’t think so. I’d query this if I was your son.Bromley Graham said:Son, who had Astra Zenica first time, had 2nd today which was Pfizer.

I saw a big story the other day in a tabloid where they reported that for the first time there had been a mix up and a guy had received two different vaccines. So SHG is right and your son needs to query this.ShootersHillGuru said:

I'm pretty sure you are right. I did hear that they are doing research but presumably he would have been asked to join. I also read that so far there has only been one identified error in giving a different second dose.ShootersHillGuru said:

Had my second Pfizer jab yesterday. No adverse reaction. Arm hasn't even ached although noticed it was tender when I turned to sleep on that side last night.0

Anecdotally it seems that the Pfizer jab has less side effects than the AZ.

Mrs cafcfan and I had our second jabs today (AZ). The guy doing the pre-vaccine checks mentioned the one case of mixed jabs and said he didn't understand how it could have happened. So, that needs to be looked into I think.Jints said:

Different venue today but the same very high quality care from the volunteer and professional staff.
Only big disappointment was the total lack of a BBC film crew again. I had become convinced watching the news that there was at least one at every vaccination centre.8 -
I've misplaced the note I had with my second dose date on it. I presume they send a reminder. I think it is 27th May.0

Yes they sent a text as a reminder to me. I forgot to take my card on the day of the second vaccination, but it didn't matter.MuttleyCAFC said:I've misplaced the note I had with my second dose date on it. I presume they send a reminder. I think it is 27th May.0 - Sponsored links:

Checked my NHS app today and my first jab is shown on there. Second one booked for next Friday and then ready to for the playoffs!3
-
Just got the text to book my second jab. Booked on the 11th May, just over 10 weeks since the 1st one5
-
So I had the post vaccine slump yesterday in a massive way, all the flu like symptoms almost exactly 24 hours after getting the jab. Early night and a lot of sleep later I feel better6
-
Had my second AZ jab yesterday, booked it for a Friday intentionally after the first one wiped me out for 3 days, was really tired last night and expected to feel bad today but woke up feeling good, no sore arm or feeling rough at all.

So, a sore arm and bit 'foggy' last night. All ok this morning and he is now in The Greyhound with his mates topping up his Amstel quota. Will talk to GP on tuesday and wife is booked into the Centre next sunday for her second so she will have a word with them then as well. If they admit to a mistake, God help them!Jints said:

48 hours later, didn’t have a great sleep but better than previous night, arm still sore ... but overall more or less ok now ... very different to the first jab.stonemuse said:
Awful sleep, restless, hot, aching ... but this morning, apart from arm feeling like it’s been hit with a hammer, and very tired, I’m ok.stonemuse said:2nd jab, no queue, in and out in a couple of minutes.Now to see if I get the side effects overnight and tomorrow that I had with the first jab.Hopefully not, but if so, it’s worth it.So much better than the first jab.This is with AZ.1 -
Mr Tatters had his 2nd jab at Aspire Pharmacy in Sidcup today. He said it was really well run. Thanks to those that mentioned it was good as he was concerned that I'd booked him into some back street shop.

There is no evidence that drinking alcohol after a Covid-19 vaccine interferes with how it works, the UK's medicines regulator has said.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) was responding to social media reports that people should abstain from drinking for up to two weeks after a vaccine.
In January, advisers to the alcohol education charity Drinkaware, which is funded by the alcohol industry, said there was some evidence that drinking, especially regular heavy drinking, could interfere with the body's ability to build immunity in response to some vaccines.
But there is nothing in the patient information leaflets from the NHS or the vaccine manufacturers to suggest such a link.
A spokeswoman for the MHRA said: "There is currently no evidence that drinking alcohol interferes with the efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccines.
"We would advise anyone concerned about this to talk to their healthcare professional."

excessive alcohol consumption is well documented as impairing all manner of the body's regular function, immune response included
alcohol's also highly toxic
not getting pissed while on medication is just basic common sense
if avoiding booze for a few days presents any sort of problem at all then one has a health issue entirely separate from the risk of Covid19

Had my first AZ shot about 5 hours ago. Arm feels a bit tight but other than that no side effects, yet.7

Mr Tatters had his 2nd jab yesterday and is fine apart from an achy shoulder and a bit of a rash on the inside of both arms. Anyone else had a rash as a side effect?1
-
second jab at Gravesend this morning. Well organised and as with first no side effects at moment.4

I spoke just a bit too soon. Had my second on Saturday and was feeling completely fine until around 8pm last night (53 hours after the jab). Then extreme fatigue hit me and although I slept well I woke up with a thumping head and some aches and pains. Feeling a little better now.
No great drama but it does show that the side-effects may not be immediate.3 -
