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 .
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
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.

Hope you get your vaccine soon and have no strange reaction this time.
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.

Finally managed to get an appointment for my first jab.
24th May, in Bexley Village.
Had been trying to book a local(ish) one for a while but only ever got offered East London options and I'm not fully up to speed on the inoculations I need to go there, so held out.
My Green Tick has been activated on the myGP app, 12 days after the second jab.
That's my passport sorted!!
did it automatically update?
No.
I clicked on the link and it said 'eligible' (I've been checking the last couple of days and it was saying 'ineligible - try later'), loaded a photo (required) and hey presto.
It did say it would become eligible 12 days after the second jab, and it was 12 days today.

Haha, had the same thoughts going to Basildon. My immune system now has to deal with coronavirus spike protein and gonorrhea
People aged 18 and over in the three areas of Blackburn will be able to book an appointment for a Pfizer vaccine from next week.
It comes after cases of the Indian variant of coronavirus were found in the town in Lancashire, north-west England.
The national booking system for England is currently only open to people aged 38 and over.
Over-18s living in the following areas of Blackburn will be able to get an appointment:
Shear Brow & Corporation Park
Billinge & Beardwood
Bastwell & Daisyfield
Scientists believe the variant first identified in India could be more transmissible than the Kent variant, which is dominant in the UK. But there is currently insufficient evidence to indicate it may cause more severe disease or make current vaccines any less effective.
