Have you had the SECOND covid jab yet?

[Schmetterling]

I had my 2nd AZ vaccination this morning. The needle going in was fine but when she actually started injecting there was an achy jolt, almost like a small electric shock. She thinks that she might have hit a nerve.

Treated myself to a John Lewis cream tea and some clothes shopping afterward. I had a couple snoozes on the settee in the afternoon but I had gone to bed late last night and had partaken in the wacky baccy.

I had my second one today, and it was a bit of an odd one. I'm phenomenally, world-beatingly injection phobic, so for both of them, I bought EMLA cream and applied it to my arm under a clear plastic dressing. For the first jab, the nurse took the dressing off, wiped the cream off, sterilised the area then injected me, which I felt a bit.

This time, I lay down as before and was waiting to feel the dressing being taken off and everything being cleaned up and so forth, when I felt a tiny pain, then was told 'All done!'. They'd just jabbed me straight through the dressing and the cream. Only I'd accidentally bought larger dressings with gauze in the middle, so they basically stuck the needle through plastic, gauze and cream and straight into me, through an unsanitised part of my arm.

I presume that's ok, but it was a bit of a surprise certainly.

You can now find appointments to bring forward your second jab without having to cancel your existing appointment:

 

[ruffneck23]

getting mine at 3.40 pm this afternoon

ETA got a VM yesterday asking if i wanted to bring mine forward, wasnt going to but I'm off today so may as well get it done with.

felt kinda crap late evening yesterday (after second AZ early afternoon) and went back to bed this morning and slept until lunch time (I had booked today off work as well as a precaution), but that's an improvement on things after the first one...

 

[Gerry1time]

I'm feeling a bit knackered after my second one yesterday, but with three small children, I've no way of knowing if that's caused by the vaccine or not. No other side effects thus far thankfully, although with my first jab I had none for a good while, then really suddenly got horrible shivery chills, then was pretty quickly better again, so who knows.

Mrs D had hers yesterday. She is now fully compatible with 5G and is magnetic.

Although I had my first before she did I'm still waiting.

 

[ruffneck23]

And done

 

[andysays]

Had mine a couple of hours ago.

This time I was given a goody bag to take away, including a couple of boxes of NHS Test and Trace COVID-19 Self Testing kits and a bottle of Bactericidal and Viricidal Hand Gel.

I was pleased with my sticker, now I'm envious.

I didn't even get a sticker.

If it's any consolation, I didn't get a sticker.

Don't try and make me feel better.

Don't try and make me feel better.

Getting vaccinated should be an end in itself, regardless of the goodie bag.

(I also got a carton of 100 infection control hand wipes...)

[kebabking]

Second jab.

Because I'm Proper Fucking Middle Class, it was done by a surgeon from the next village along, who's kids go to the same school as mine.

No sweets today, only stickers...

 

[Gerry1time]

If it's any consolation, I didn't get a sticker.

I got a sticker the first time, but not the second time. Felt like they lured me back under false pretences.

I'm starting to think someone needs to start a whole other thread simply to list and discuss what they were given as a result of their vaccination.

I thought that went without saying, TBH

Depends if we have anyone posting from Washington state.

24 hours on from Jab #2, and I'm a little bit jaded-feeling, very slight headache that could be dehydration as much as anything. I slept in this morning, too, which is fairly unusual for me...actually, I had an excellent night's sleep.

 

[WouldBe]

Due tomorrow. 11 weeks and 6 days after the first jab. Knowing my luck they'll run out before my appointment.

I did too after both jabs. Probably due to the mRNA rewriting my genome or something.

Mrs Q did after her second AZ, she couldn't keep her eyes open by about 10pm, she felt unwell after the first but a good night's kip was the only side effect of the 2nd.
Both of continue to be disappointed by our lack of 5G coverage despite a mast being 5 mins walk away

 

[Steel Icarus]

Had my second AZ this morning at 10.15. Stung more than the first and my trapezoid muscle on that side was aching within 15 mins. Feeling tired now but my sinuses are bad today anyway. Will update other thread later re: side effects
