I’m finally having my second vaccination on Thursday. It’s more than 12 weeks since my first one, having been waiting for confirmation from an Allergy team in Bristol, given my reaction first time round. Fingers crossed, I don’t have the same issues this time.
I overheard two blokes talking yesterday, this is roughly how it went. 1st bloke - did you go to that festival? 2nd bloke - no I didn't want to take the chance 1st bloke - have you had both your jabs? 2nd bloke - no I can't see the point. As Forrest Gump would say "stupid is as stupid does".
A mix-and-match approach to Covid vaccines - using different brands of jab for first and second doses - gives good protection against the pandemic virus, a UK study has found.
All combinations worked well, priming the immune system.
This knowledge could offer flexibility for vaccine rollout, say experts.
The UK's deputy chief medical officer, Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, said there was no reason to change the current successful same dose vaccine schedules in the UK, however, given vaccines were in good supply and saving lives.
But he says it might be something to look at in the future: "Mixing doses could provide us with even greater flexibility for a booster programme, while also supporting countries who have further to go with their vaccine rollouts, and who may be experiencing supply difficulties."
Had my first jab on Sunday, 5pm, Pfizer. Bit late to the game really as they've been vaccinated my age group since May I think here,
Sore arm started kicking in at about 9pm that night. Was sore to raise laterally the next day, but had already started wearing off by 5pm, was able to go to a wrestling class last night and lifted weights this morning. Felt perfectly fine, arm not sore at all today and no other side effects. Didn't feel groggy or at all fluey or anything.
My wife and I were due to have our second jab this Thursday, she tested positive on Saturday and my daughter tested positive on Monday, my son and I are both negative and are hanging on to it. They both have flu type symptoms but if that is all they get I will be satisfied, we have isolated them in their bedroom and I am sleeping on a camp bed. I believe that if they did not have their vaccine things may have been very different.
I have booked my second for 13th July but my wife will need to wait another 28 days which will take the gap between jabs to 16 weeks.

What are your thoughts on how/where they caught it? Similarly my bruv and 1 of his 3 daughters tested positive on Friday. But he has no idea how. The girls all go to the same school and even had their school photos taken that day, but sibling photos were not allowed even though they live together? Odd. So my brother can only think its him that's somehow passed it on, and he's had 2 vaccines already.

I think my caught it at work, she works in a supermarket on the till, she sits in front of many many customers 4 days a week, you would be amazed how many of the customers that go in her shop are ignorant to mask wearing. Maybe it is the demographic of the customer. Her work is the only thing we have done apart.
my daughter is 24 so not school age, she went out on Saturday night to London, since then not felt great, now we know why.

The Com-Cov trial looked at the efficacy of either two doses of Pfizer, two of AstraZeneca, or one of them followed by the other.
All combinations worked well, priming the immune system.
