David P Williams Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yep - wife and I (65 and 69) booked in for midday today at our local docs. We've been a bit behind the game here in South Shropshire but they've caught up quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I am booked in for mine on Weds 17th - I am 60 with very mild Type 2 diabetes that I control with diet. GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Mine's booked for next Friday. I'm a mere pup at 61 but called in early due to dicky ticker. My 25 year old housebound son is expecting a visit by the nurse tomorrow for his. Feels like a weight has been lifted. Just need to wait for wife to get her invite then we're all sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 had my jab on the 31st Jan just a sore arm pfizer vaccine my wife had hers Mon Astra Zeneca vaccine sore arm and generally unwell for 36 hrs but all good .things are looking positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'm inclined to think that feeling generally unwell for a couple of days afterwards might not be such a bad thing. It proves that your body is doing its job reacting to the vaccine and building immunity. Feeling nothing on the other hand might lead you to question whether the vaccine has worked. Just my weird logic at work here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I had mine today (Pfizer) and all I felt was a tiny pinprick. I think I can feel slight stiffness in my upper arm but nothing too terrible. Well done all the NHS volunteers - hopefully they'll get some decent recognition.

funflyerColin Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Had mine today after finishing work (Pfizer) no side effects yet (touch wood), wife had hers last week (Oxford) she didn't have any side effects either both lucky i guess. And definatly well done to all those involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Had my Pfizer jab today too. Arm little sorer than for flu jab but not a major issue. The centre where I had my jab, Scarborough Rugby Club, was fantastically well organised! GG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have been a bit of colour for a couple of days which could be the jab on Saturday, symptoms tie in with the 1:10 side effects on the data sheet. Not ill and not worth reporting but good news because it is a sure sign that I am producing antibodies. I have had many jabs in my life and this to me is nothing worth talking about. Bring on the second jab and as @john stones 1 Moderator says let me out. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Had the first AZ vaccine on Tuesday and only noticed a moderate headache, slight nausia and feeling fatigued all yesterday. No probs this morning so I guess I'm OK. They warned me at the surgery that small side effects are common - certainly nothing to what one might endure without the jab. The regular Flu jab also makes me feel a bit rough for a day or two so I suppose it depends on one's constitution. My other half never gets Flu jab side effects and her Pfizer jab similarly had no effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickw Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Similar comments here. My wife and I never get side effects from the annual Flu jab and didn't get any from our Pfizer jabs 3 weeks ago. "3 weeks ago"! - we are ready to go now, and just waiting for the Go signal. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Fingers crossed that at least we have an indication on Monday... GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 We had ours just over 5 weeks ago and we're both fine now and neither of us had any bad effects beyond a very slight stiffness for about a day. Looking forward to our next appointment with Mr Pfizer and then, hopefully, a degree of freedom. The organisation at our local small hospital was faultless, with lots of help. I quite enjoyed being the youngest in the room for a change as it was a couple of days after my 81st birthday and all the rest were octogenarians, too (apart from the staff, of course.)

GG Got mine today - NHS telephoned on the landline yesterday evening, asked a few questions and asked if I'd come forward today at the local leisure centre. As you said, superbly well organised and efficient, in and out in 20 minutes, included 15 minutes sit-down after the wee jag. Didn't feel a thing. Very happy to have had the first dose.

GrumpyGnome Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 All sounding good. Given our demographic, I suspect us forumites are ahead of the vaccination curve! Fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed for some indication of easing on Monday, although I suspect it'll be several weeks away..... still, a little more good news will be welcome.

GrumpyGnome Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I've been very pleasantly surprised at the universal thumbs up received by our forumites - great news. As is the news coming from Israel. Nice to see some positive reporting...... GG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
