Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL

[William of Walworth]

Tomorrow morning just try and remember the difference between jab side effects and a hangover

Two bottles of (5%!) beer only, last night ... ... that's low for my Friday evenings, which fall on Thursdays
Just felt too tired to drink much .....

 

[William of Walworth]

izz I think you voted on the other poll (side effects).

OK! Thanks for the reminder. I will dely my vote on that one I think

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I was fine...bit tired on the day, and a headache over night, but that was all really...

Quiet day on the stabbing front...

I'm in the extremely vulnerable group.
Currently living with parents abd sis in a bubble.
My parents are due to be vaccinated next week. My sis got vaccinated yesterday as a hse worker. I've been told I now need to be vaccinated in hospital in case of an allergic reaction (previously I had a reaction to the pneumonia vaccine and am also an epipen carrier )
So I don't know when I will be vaccinated. Nobody seems to know and the local hospital says they're not set up for that...news to them.

 

[girasol]

Got a call earlier today (3pm), getting vaccine on Saturday morning!

Had it. Got there at 8:50, out just after 9. Very efficiently organised and lots of definitely under 50s people getting vaccine. They are really going for it and not wasting any vaccines (Wandsworth)

 

[planetgeli]

Thank you girasol not-bono-ever and others over the last few days. Co-operation much appreciated.

 

[Cloo]

gsv and I both got a bit excited this morning as we each had letters addressed to us and wondered if it might be vaccine ones, even though it'd be at least a month early. But, bah, it was just something from the Lib Dem mayoral candidate * shakes fist *

 

[scifisam]

OK I agree with your general sentiment... but what should I do now, ignore the yellow box myself and go for it too? Makes me very uncomfortable that I might be pushing in, but of course I'm desperate for one. I'd be fuming if my date is being pushed back because people in a lower age bracket are just barging ahead and the system is incapable of checking a DOB.

Get the vax, protect yourself and other people, the end.

Anyone else this week who hasn't voted on the poll? One more straight yes vote brings it to 60/40...

 

[planetgeli]

Soooo...as of today, a further week on. 121 Urbz now jabbed at least once, 22 this week which, though lower than the last two weeks, does represent just about the running weekly average.

Figures represent 55.5% of Urbz taking part in the poll. That poll figure has jumped quite a bit this week, there are now 218 participants, about 20 more than last week, and a lot of those, probably half, were new 'NO' votes.

William of Walworth got his appointment so the thread is a lot less tense now. He might even join in the vote at some point.

One week on, another 19 jabbed, making 140. Running total average is still about 21.5 Urbz a week. Should have this done in 5 weeks.

Poll participation has increased by 16 to 234.

Not much movement on those who voted 'NO'. Only down by 3 this week to 94. Should have this done in 32 weeks.

All but 60/40 on the percentage.

Orang Utan - how old are you? Seven?

 

[krink]

Has anyone had the second jab? My mam got her first one in December and the 12 weeks have passed and no follow-up. I've heard the second one can have slightly more noticeable side effects. I can't wait for my 2nd.

ETA - Checked with Doc's and she should have had an appointment by now so they're chasing it up right now.
Also, we need another poll for who has had the 2nd dose.

Interesting krink in that you are the first person to mention about (someone) not having the second dose.

As for the poll, as I explained somewhere upthread when someone else asked about a second poll for 2nd dose...I am highly reluctant to do one. Two reasons. Firstly, though the vast majority of you have been lovely, this poll has somehow got me onto someone's ignore list (my first ever, awwww!). Secondly, I was rather hoping a second jab poll would be unnecessary as it would a) just follow the first poll if the NHS continue with their competence and b) it might wind people up who haven't even had their first jab yet.

 

[trashpony]

I’ve just had mine. Astra Zeneca. Didn’t feel a thing!

In Kent they book you for your 2nd jab when they book your first so I know when that’s happening. Annoying it’s not the same everywhere - my parents are in a similar situation to krink ‘s parents.

Higher

 

[Supine]

Am i going to be the last urb vaccinated?

I'm still doing the shopping for my mum and shielding neighbours who all got vaccinated ages ago

 

[planetgeli]

I saw some boasting somewhere saying this is going to be a bumper week. We'll see how Urban reflects that.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

I was vaccinated yesterday. Mine was AstraZeneca flavour, but they didn't give me a sticker.

I was vaccinated yesterday, but they didn't give me a sticker, which was disappointing. Mine was AstraZeneca flavour.

I don't think it's down to location but the way you booked your jab, and when you had your first one. I didn't get given a second date when I had mine, booked via by GP in mid-Jan, but my GF was able to book both at once, booked via the website. Same borough. The website wasn't up and running when I had my jab, so I think I'll have to trust in my GP (hah) or chase them up.

Same here - I was told they'd contact me to arrange the second one within twelve weeks.

 

[trashpony]

I don't know if it's down to the CCG or the systems - my sister (also in Kent) had her first jab a week after my parents (in January) and got a date for booking her second one at the same time.

 

[LDC]

Just got a link through work to book my second Pfizer dose. Booked in for next week, and it'll be 10 weeks and 3 days since the first dose.

 

[danny la rouge]

No side effects to report thus far (Astra Zeneca late afternoon yesterday). Very slight ache in arm this morning, but less than I've experienced from annual flu jag. Nothing I'd mention normally, but for science reporting it here.

 

[Voley]

My brother is the first one of my family to get his second jab. Works in the NHS. My sister's got an appointment for her 2nd as well. They're really rattling through them down here in Cornwall.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

I had mine on Saturday and have had stiff shoulders and neck since then. The jab itself didn't hurt at all.

 

[planetgeli]

Second jabbed. (Pfizer). Didn't feel the first one, certainly felt that one. She was lovely but very young so I'm assuming she may not have jabbed too many people. Overwhelming impression is everyone connected with these jabs, IME, from admin to stabber, has been exceptionally friendly.

Oh, and I got a sticker this time. Brechlyn Covid-19. With a big tick. Saves being painted purple or something I guess.

 

[davesgcr]

Mrs GCR has second jab in the un-user friendly at Watford on Sun morning - excited as it means a trip out in the car to somewhere "different" - but then she is still working for the NHS !

 

[planetgeli]

There does seem like quite a few getting jabbed this week.

All votes welcome on the poll at the top of the page.
