I got my first one to-day (Vauxhall AstraZeneca), when my Mom cheekily asked on my behalf whilst she was receiving her second slug of Tizer.

Moms are excellent.

Hom-virus free

I also received my first Jabba yesterday

I'm in the middle of moving house (well, rental flat), so I can't tell if my exhaustion is due to side FX or just standard-issue stress

Post by **vom** » Fri Apr 16, 2021 10:11 pm

I'm definitely going to get the virus before I get a chance to get the jab

I have some tests though so at least I can check after each pointless jaunt into the office

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Apr 16, 2021 10:45 pm

Moms continue to be excellent, but the 'feel like total crap with flu symptoms' begen about an hour after my opening post, and I curranty feel rather poorly.

Ah well, not dying is worth this short sick spell, definitely!

I begen getting over the worst 'bout noon. Current status - majorly tired/slightly fragile, and that'll do for me at the mo!

I don't much fancy going through that again in 2-3 months, though. I mean I will, but...

glad you're feeling better homfrus

Post by **dng** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 7:37 pm

please don't begin to mutate

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 7:47 pm

When did mutating become a bad thing, eh? Eh? Stop being Mutationist!

I think people generally say you have a reaction to one jab or the other don't they? I've not heard of anyone having a bad reaction twice

Fingers crossed that is the case for you!

Post by **Chortle Hound** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 11:17 pm

Well done Homfrus and ma.

I reckon a bit more than half the people I know who had their first jab said they felt bad for a day or so afterward but then got much better.

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 11:47 pm

Ta chaps!

Despite currently running a bit of a temperature, I feel so much better, so I'd go along with your comments Mr Hound.

My second jabbus is taking place in a church.

I hope my experience there turns into something like an old Dave Allen sketch.

Post by **dng** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:13 am

good luck homfrano

Nice one, Mr Schnauzeur! Which type are you having? I think you said befo, but I've forgotten.

Post by **richschnauzer** » Fri Apr 23, 2021 2:27 pm

Thanks homfrus, it's the astrazenenca one again. All good so far!

Post by **Pual** » Thu May 06, 2021 7:30 am

They sent me a text saying I could have my second jabba yesterday so I booked it and had it and was home again within an hour

Post by **Pual** » Thu May 06, 2021 7:30 am

And now I’m dead (feel fine)

Post by **vom** » Thu May 06, 2021 9:11 am

I have still had zero jabs

where my jabs at

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Thu May 06, 2021 11:53 am

I have also had none jeb. I wouldn't be surprised if my GP practice has texted me, but since my phone is in one place and I am in another, I have no way of knowing. I also suspect my obligate masklessness will be an obstruction.

Jab booked for end-of-May

Then the second one, in a different pharmacy for whatever reason, in Aug

Post by **blombluss** » Thu May 06, 2021 6:17 pm

Good to hear, Pual und Swizz.

You're in your 30s, aren't you Vomas? So you're a fine, healthy, athletic hunk of a mans, which changes when you hit your 40s!

Post by **dng** » Thu May 06, 2021 6:22 pm

I was sent a thing saying i could book an appointment, but for some reason you can't book local appointments and the nearest ones were either harlow, southend, or central london

Post by **dng** » Thu May 06, 2021 6:22 pm

so i didn't book a test at all

Post by **dng** » Thu May 06, 2021 6:23 pm

i hope if daren tries to book one it tells him he has to come to maldon

Post by **Chortle Hound** » Thu May 06, 2021 9:24 pm

I've got my first jab end of May and second in August.

I'm finally getting 5G.

I'm pretty sure one of the options when I had a look was maldon. Maybe they were all taken. You might just need to wait for more to be available. There were none at the Harlow leisure centre first time I checked but there was the second time.

Post by **dng** » Fri May 07, 2021 2:27 am

maybe i will check again

Thu May 13, 2021 10:04 am

I just got the text! Exciting! I hate it!

Post by **vom** » Thu May 13, 2021 12:30 pm

Nobody offered it to me, I've been refreshing the webpage hourly for about a month

Post by **blombluss** » Thu May 13, 2021 1:08 pm

Hoo-ray fo' Vom und Trig! Whut you both having? AZ Alkmaar, Fisons, VACCINE47?

Post by **dng** » Thu May 13, 2021 1:30 pm

I don't think you know till you get there, do you?

Post by **blombluss** » Thu May 13, 2021 1:33 pm

I was told (via 119) that if you book through the NHS website you get AZ, but that might've changed, I guess? I dunno.

Post by **dng** » Thu May 13, 2021 1:40 pm

I did not know that. I just thought they shoved literally whatever serum they had lying around into whatever arm was nearest them, in some sort of rage

Post by **dng** » Thu May 13, 2021 1:41 pm

but my understanding of the process might be wrong

Post by **blombluss** » Thu May 13, 2021 1:50 pm

I was, at the time, trying to sort out my Mom's second Pfizer jab, so I phoned up the 119 number, and that's what the chap told me (that they ((the NHS phone/website)) deal with AZ only). I wouldn't be surprised if that has changed, though. The whole situation/procedures seem rather fluid.

Post by **vom** » Thu May 13, 2021 2:30 pm

I booked through NHS. The place I'm going to sounds like a pretty makeshift venue so I'd guess they'd only offer AZ as the others all (?) require the super-refrigeration I think?

I WILL LET YOU KNOW

JAB ME GOOD!
