Just had my second vaccine earlier today. I am now starting to feel ill again. I hope the next time we have these they improve them as I'm not willing to be ill for a few days every time I have a dose.

It's a lot less ill than if you catch the thing.

I don't know anyone who's had it who hasn't had some long lasting effect. A few hours feeling like shit is hardly a worry when compared to that.

All bad smells just smell like onions to me now, even a year after having it

 

[Bigmac]

Yeah you're right compared to the real thing it's no where near as bad (one of my friends caught it and he thought he was going to die, he also has a normal healthy immune system and is only 36 years old).

FYI it's not hours of feeling ill for me it's days. The first vaccine's side effects didn't fully clear for a week.

2nd jab done!

My immediate office staff have all had both jabs now, and at the most effective 12 week gap.

Just got the wife and sister to go and that's the entire family done too.

Looks like Taiwan is going into major lock down. They have had 20 new confirmed cases. Speaking to a colleague from our Headquarters, they have all been told to work from home with immediate effect. Vaccination is slow as they are waiting on more AZ. 'Zero Tollerance of Covid' is how he put it.

1st vaccination Friday 2nd 3 weeks after - weirdly I will be fully vaccinated before my sister (same age group) although she had her first 3 weeks ago...

I doubt it'll ever be perfect, it tends to be completely random since our bodies aren't exactly the same at birth let alone after many decades of abuse

I had no effect on either, my parents and sister have only had one and my parents both had painful arms with my sister feeling sick all afternoon.

They also mentioned the NHS app that 'could be used to prove you have had both vaccines"

I won't be installing it unless they need it in the local, which I doubt, I don't plan on going anywhere else for a while.

 

[Embattle]

I have it already, as well as my local GP one which tend to work together.

We have the first case of the Indian varient reported in our town today :|

 

[Aoami]

Not sure I can manage another lockdown, hopefully it's kept under control.

 

[Embattle]

Next time they better react quicker when another country shows no control what so ever in controlling spread rather than putting them on a red list that has far too many exclusions.

 

[Raven]

After second jab, felt like shit last night, felt like shit this morning, top bombing by lunchtime. Arm is still sore but not as bad as the first one.

Delay in giving second jabs of Pfizer vaccine improves immunity

Study finds antibodies against Sars-CoV-2 three-and-a-half times higher in people vaccinated again after 12 weeks rather than three

www.theguardian.com

ask to delay it?

 

[Raven]

I thought that was understood from the start?

I think it was suspected from early on.

NHS tracing app 'prevented thousands of deaths'

Peer-reviewed research suggests the contact-tracing app prevented between 284,000 and 594,000 cases.

Suspected. Now confirmed.

 

[Yoni]

I have just had my first and they moved to 6 weeks for the 2nd in the appointment. Have to say I showed up early expecting to wait outside for a while and was taken straight in to the queue.... I thought there would be lots and lots of people here but there is not - I hope if they are booked, they are turning up

Let's gooooooo

Halfway there already.

Ordered a firkin (72 pints) of Purple Moose ale from the brewery the other week, tapped it and let it settle. First pint was pulled 8pm on a saturday night. It was beautiful.

I'd run out by midnight Tuesday

It's not like we weren't also drinking wine, rum, cocktails, apperol, prosecco, gin and mead too ffs

Blimey. You're not letting your liver get lazy.

Not sure that's helping many pubs!!

Indian variant: Second jabs could be brought forward to tackle rise

Local restrictions have also not been ruled out in areas worst affected by the Indian variant.

I was amazed at my enduring resilience! I've barely drunk during lockdown.

Not sure that's helping many pubs!!

It's helping the brewery tho. My local pubs are money printing machines - it's a tourist honeypot here.

Covid: Delay child vaccinations and share jabs with Covax, says WHO

Wealthier nations should instead donate more vaccines to low-income countries, the health body says.

[Aoami]

Pretty interesting. Really hope that any lockdowns going forward are local. I need to get out of this flat!!

Covid: First Australian repatriation flight from India lands in Darwin

Many of the intended passengers on the repatriation flight were barred after positive Covid tests.

www.bbc.co.uk

People in the UK weren't even allowed to go and see sick/elderly relatives who lived in the next town, let alone another country. Not sure why these people feel like they've been 'betrayed' after they've flown to another country during a global pandemic and are now stuck there for a bit. It's shit obviously, but why are there always people who think they're the exception to the rule?

 

[Yoni]

I have not and I am still not able to see my mum - I do not expect I will be allowed until next year depending on this new variant in the UK
