Have you had your booster jab (jag) ?

[pogofish]

My Scottish booster/flu shot combined appointment arrived yesterday, 7th of December.

 

[Spymaster]

Still heard nothing from our GP.

I just booked ours through the website for next Wednesday: Book or manage a booster dose of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine

I am an usual case, as I had the Johnson & Johnson monodose vaccine in Italy. Italy has decided that J&J is a bit shit now so everyone who had it has to have a booster (a single dose of Pfizer or Moderna) - getting mine on the 4th of december.

From what I recall when they were coming in the J&J one was 'single shot' in the sense that that was what they did the testing for when the others were two. I'm not sure it's shit just that it's pretty similar to the others - ie they should have done two doses to start with like all the rest did.

My brother just got a text from his GP, also booked 4th Dec., same town, different hub, but like me, only a 10 minute walk from home.

Now he can cancel the one he booked earlier this week for 23rd Dec. with the NHS, and save the 30 mile round trip to Chichester.

Two happy bunnies.

I'm leaving getting my booster until I know for sure that it will be included on the NHS Covid travel pass, which isn't the case at the moment, although they are reportedly working on it Covid booster jabs to be added to NHS app after some countries bring in restrictions

My 2nd Covid jab was over 6 months ago so that would be pretty useless for going abroad now. I've a trip booked for next May so there's no way I'll be getting my booster until Jan at the earliest and hopefully by then it gets recorded on the app with a QR code.

Had my booster this morning.

I had the Pfizer booster jab yesterday at noon, felt fine all day but then had a really horrible night with headaches, hot and cold flushes and aches. Still feel really shit today. Ouch!

 

[andysays]

Just booked my booster for 17th December, exactly 6 months after my last jab.

 

[mx wcfc]

Yay! done. mrs mx gets hers later today too.

Pfizer again.

 

[Numbers]

We're both having ours tomorrow morning, 5 minute walk from ours.
Hopefully I don't feel ill from it like the other 2 jabs.

Yesterday’s Pfizer is the first one that has given me a sore arm

Not sure if I feel ropey or not because I broke my three month booze free last night and scoffed rum and cokes

 

[DaphneM]

Got appointment at Montgomery Hall

Me too. Had mine yesterday. Arm aches like fuck. And got the beginnings of a headache.
Not good as my head felt like it was going to explode when I had the first vaccine.
Had to go to bed at 8pm I felt so bad.

Just finishing my 15 minute wait after half a moderna (and flu jab).

different arms ?

 

[girasol]

28 hours later and I felt like I had a tiny cold this morning, but that's sort of gone. Arm hurts less now than it did last night. Definitely less side effects than first two doses, along with many other people's reports...

 

[Chilli.s]

So after my pfizer booster on monday, tuesday was ruff, did nothing, assorted flu symptoms. Wednesday still not 100% but much better, yesterday fine, minimal left overs only. Today feel absolutely normal.

I think it would be sensible to plan for 3 days inconvenience.

Depends eh? I've had three Pfizers and the worst I felt was a bit hungover/jaded which was fixed by a couple of ibuprofen and an early night.

Yeah, i've had worse hangovers/party comedowns, no biggie

 

[8ball]

I’m playing lucky dip for my booster. No idea what it’ll be. Hoping for a Pfizer.

 

[Smangus]

Got a Pfizer one today, previous ones were AZ

Not even the teensiest desire to eat braaaiiiiinnnz?

 

[Artaxerxes]

Veni, vidi, boosted

 

[Orang Utan]

Got a third Phizer about ten minutes ago.
Was advised to sit down for fifteen but was keen to get home quick on the bike as a storm is on the way. Feel fine.

Just finishing my 15 minute wait after half a moderna (and flu jab).

I'm feeling a bit shit. Not as bad as after my first az but my temp is a bit up, my arm is rubbish, I'm tired, headache, neck glands are up, chattering jaw. Bit of nausea, bit weepy.

Sounds likely to be the flu jab .. my effects were somewhat masked by wine though ...

 

[Artaxerxes]

Ok most of the day after a Pfizer, arms becoming a little tender and I think temperature going up to.

 

[PursuedByBears]

The booking site is now live for over-40s, a few days earlier than previously thought. I'm booked in for 19th December.

I was held prisoner at Kings yesterday for the 15 mins. They refused to let people out until they'd served their 15 min in the waiting area.

 

[quiet guy]

Had my booster today via a local pharmacy. The monitor made sure that most of us served our 15 minutes after the jab. Only a few escaped her clutches while she was booking in new arrivals.
It seemed this village had cornered the booster market because the doctor's surgery was also doing a roaring trade in jabs.
