When I had the first jab they told me I''d need to book my second one, but a text reminder with a link to book came through 9 weeks after the first jab, so I got my jab 10 weeks after the first one. I'm still a bit tired and brain foggy, welll that's one of many symptoms I seem to have. I think it's about 8 days since my jab now. Don't know anyone else as affected as me by both jabs. I reported it in.

I'll do it this afternoon
One thing this has taught me is how soft I am now. I was scared to even touch where I was jabbed with my 2 covid vaccines yet when i was a kid and we got vaccines at school, we immediately ran around the yard punching each other in the arm where we'd just been spiked

Thank you for that suggestion!
I am now booked for Friday 11th June via the NHS website - and it's at a different vaccination centre, so I don't know yet if I'm going to be double Pfizered or mix-and-match
(but I will have the weekend to recover if it's a mix-and-match)And it will be 11 weeks not 9 which is good or bad depending, and booking was very easy, I didn't need to know my NHS number or remember where my GP is

They arent doing mix-and-match at this stage unless something has gone wrong, a mistake is the only reason this should happen at the moment. And I would not go ahead with the second jab if they didnt match, and the authorities should also stop it if it becomes clear on the day that your 2nd jab isnt the same as the first.

OK - that's good to know ( I guess the website knew what my 1st jab was, & that's why it didn't offer me a huge choice of vaccination centres - no pharmacies etc)
I didn't know they weren't mixing vaccines - I did read about a study where they'd tried it & discovered slightly worse temporary side effects from mixing, but only to the level where they'd suggest not - for instance - vaccinating a whole ward of nurses at the same time in case half of them were absent the next day.
More frequent side-effects reported mixing Pfizer and Oxford Covid jabs, study suggests

I forgot to say that there was also a fairly substantial queue when I went for my second jab last Saturday .....Had second Astra Zeneca jab yesterday.. all done.
Vaguely interesting for this jab there was a long queue... where as 12 weeks ago when I went and there was all the hype about blood clotting I walked straight in.. dunno.
It can only be a good thing if lots o people are experiencing this

5 days after my 2nd AZ still no symptoms like last time, Mrs Q who felt a bit off following her first AZ is having her second tomorrow. The Q's are making good progress on the 3rd generation at the moment, SiL Q (38) has his first on Friday as well, Eldest Q (32) on the 4th and Son Q (31) on the 6th. Son Q is the middle of my parents grandchildren (7th out of 13) and 3 of those younger than him have had it due to being NHS/care workers so even the huge Q tribe is running out of unvaccinated adults.

Depends if you are planning on travelling anywhere that says you must have been vaccinated 'x' weeks before arrival. (And also whether they got the date wrong on 'the system')

What gap was there between the two? I am interested in knowing what gap Ireland is using.

Just had my second AZ. Much more chilled experience than the first time. First time was quite a way away in a massive centre run by the army with paperwork to fill in and sign. Today a short walk in the sun to my local pharmacy to be jabbed by people in normal clothes and no signing stuff.

Supine did you get a text/email about it? It's just that my 2nd jab is due 14th June and I've heard nowt about an earlier one. Am 53 and in the North West so was expecting to have heard by now.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
How were you alerted to your first one sojourner ?
Think I got a text from GP with a booking link.

I got my second text last week and booked for the 5th. Mine was due on the twelfth. You should get one about now hopefully.
