Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL

[krink]

Thanks LynnDoyleCooper and 8ball I sort of feel a little bit heavy headed/swimmy but it's quite pleasant and mild. It's probably just me, I didn't have much sleep last night and I'm buzzing with happiness of having got jabbed so I suppose it's that combination. Only other symptom is my arm is a tiny bit stiff/sore.
I was really surprised how little the actual injection hurt - I could barely feel it. And I'm a bit of a self confessed soft arse with injections. tattoos I'm fine, small blood test I'm all over the place

 

[gentlegreen]

It took 4 hours for me - started with ever-so-slight nausea which is very unusual for me...

Same here. Drawing blood, having a cannula put in. or the local anesthetic ones the dentist do are much worse.
This one really was only a little pinch.

The local mosque which was being used for testing will be doing vaccinations from Friday, aiming to do a 1000 a day. Anyone in tiers 1-9 or over 50 can make an appointment with them directly.

I walked past mosque on way to park about 11am. About 20 people queueing outside. When I came back about an hour later queue was gone.
Apparently this way of inviting people to apply directly is being publicised by local community groups. It's being trialled here to see whether it will encourage more BAME people to get vaccinated - it is open to anyone local, not necessarily BAME.

You lot must be older than I thought

The average age is around 103 I think.

By all accounts sometimes - smallpox in particular they use a bifurcated needle that deliberately causes damage to get a good immune response - which is also why they sometimes include irritant adjuvants.

 

[StoneRoad]

I had a nasty reaction with my smallpox inoculation.
It crusted over with a dirty scab, despite the dressing, and eventually the depth of the scab included the gauze.
I had an allergic reaction to the zinc oxide plaster and the rash swelled alarmingly. It was also extremely itchy.
As a result I've a large scar, much bigger than the BGC one.

Big enough that the nurse giving me my covid jab last week asked about it !

 

[gentlegreen]

Weirdly I can't find any record on my file.
Three separate polio jabs though - but no mention of the sugar lump ..
No way do I remember the polio jab at 16 after I'd left school
Maybe the new surgery will do a better job when I ask for it again to get translated into French...

There is definitely one name on this poll voting NO who has had the jab. Mentioning no names. editor.

Suspect there might be a few more. Very close to 50/50 now.

Since he's been ill with side effects since, it seems a bit harsh to have expected him to remember to change his vote - maybe when he stops shivering

He's been posting, I know because I just gave him advice. And I'm not being harsh. "Mentioning no names...@editor" was meant to be...jocular. But. Yeah. OK.

See you can detect jocularity in your own post but not in mine - wonder if that might work the other way round? (still being jocular).

50/50 has been achieved!

 

[planetgeli]

As of today, 73 Urbz jabbed, up from 46 last Sunday. Represents 42% of those taking part in the poll. 99 not yet jabbed.

I'd say that's a good week.

And as of today, one week on...

99 Urbz jabbed, up from 73 this time last Sunday. Represents 50.5% of those taking part in the poll, 97 not yet jabbed (plus William of Walworth )

Pretty consistent numbers, 27 week before this one, 26 this one.

 

[UrbaneFox]

I had my first jab yesterday morning, Pfizer. Hardly felt a thing. My upper arm has been a bit stiff, and I have spent the day asleep, but that's nothing new.

GP surgery phoned on Tuesday evening, asking if I wanted a jab, and I was much impressed by the organisation and efficiency at the hospital.

The Dr giving me the jab said that the was also amazed by the efficiency, and said it reminded him of the opening of the Olympic Games.

They didn't mention part 2.

Unless I'm missing something you haven't voted in the poll at the top of this page UrbaneFox ? You'll be number 100 on the yes vote...

Then in a couple of days you can do the second poll (below this paragraph) How exciting for you!

Which jab did you have - Astra Zeneca or Pfizer? And what side effects?

gentlegreen : ALL of the above strongly points to you needing to phone your GP! Nah I'm fine now. :) It's just that my sinusitis wasn't giving me headaches like that before.

I though I had (my hand was trembling with excitement).

No 100! Life just gets better, all the time.

See Things That Have Chuffed You Today. My neighbour has been in Intensive care with C19, but he phoned my tonight, so

Can you add your yes vote ta? Apologies if you have, it's getting bleedin' hard to read all those votes not in alphabetical order.

 

[planetgeli]

Thank you Petcha

200 votes on the poll

Apologies if you have, it's getting bleedin' hard to read all those votes not in alphabetical order.

You need to keep a spreadsheet, updating it several times a day, and do graphs and trend lines and stuff.

 

[planetgeli]

It's taken me this long to work out that the lists of people in the votes are in order of their join date.

How about printing the page several times a day, crossing out those already in your spreadsheet and then adding the new ones? That'd be an easy way to do it.

Does it matter if people don’t bother to vote?

Yes, it will ruin planetgeli spreadsheets.
