Does anyone know if there is a safe place to leave your bike at Montgomery Hall?
Have you had your booster jab (jag) ?

I'd get one now if I was you. A little more immunity over the winter would be a good thing. For most people it would be waning a little by this point.
So you've had one vaccination? Why wouldn't you get the second ASAP?
I've had the actual virus, so my immunity will be better than anyone who's only had vaccinations - my immune system has had a lot more of the virus to 'play with' and figure out than just the spike protein contained in most vaccines. In many countries you weren't even able to have the vaccine initially if you'd already had a confirmed infection. I felt kinda guilty grabbing a shot in March when they were in low supply, but less so now there's a lot more supply.

Tried to book my booster but I'm too early. I think I need to come back next month (assuming it becomes available after five from the last vaccine?)
If the advice is to have a second, I'd have the second.

It's quite clear on the national booking website:
"You can use this service to book an appointment for a booster dose if it's been 152 days (5 months) since your 2nd dose...You'll be offered appointment dates from 182 days (6 months) after the date of your 2nd dose."

Go get it now, as far as I have read you'll have very high antibody count after another, making you almost superhuman.

Jab has been had albeit reluctantly. I booked as I’d been invited to, but the centre initially thought I was too young. Third Pfizer in the arm though after some further questions
ETA it wasn’t me who was reluctant, rather the centre

Colleague just had a Pfizer booster after AZ first two shots and says it's 'belted' him. Didn't get any side effects to speak of after the AZ ones. I had AZ and felt really shite both times so am hoping I'll get lucky with the booster although I won't get it til March probably.
I finally got my booster-jab-offering letter this morning -- I'll be going pretty soon, that is next Tuesday (30th November) 
And at the unusually convenient (post-work) time of 17:40 ....

Mrs mx said the same - Pfizer booster after two AZs whacked her. She was fine after 24 hours.
That's very likely what I'll be up for
Glad Mrs mx got better quickly anyway.
I'm personally hoping that I encounter no issues, but I've zero idea what proportion who get Pfizer-booster after AZ get any ...

People with appointments are being turned away here, being told they are not eligible for the booster even though the system is allowing them to book. I get that they want the vulnerable to get jabbed first, but why allow bookings to then be turned away at the vax centre

heckling from the back!
That's odd, the system would not let me book until I was eligible ...People with appointments are being turned away here, being told they are not eligible for the booster even though the system is allowing them to book.

Bar a slightly tender injection site for a couple of days no side effects for me in the same situation.That's very likely what I'll be up for

My armpit feels like it is being jabbed with pokers. Didn’t have this with the first two, it’s quite uncomfortable

Mentioned earlier in this thread; only anecdotal but I had AZ for the first two, pfizer for third. had a reaction to the latter, nausea seasick & shivery, it came on about 24 hours after injection & lasted one long evening but woke up the next day feeling ok.That's very likely what I'll be up for

I had this symptom too. Couldn't sleep on that side for a night or two

I got an email inviting me to have my booster even tough I already had it AND my NHS record reflects that. Makes you think there are two separate systems running concurrently (WHY????), which is reflective of the incompetence that is characteristic of this government.People with appointments are being turned away here, being told they are not eligible for the booster even though the system is allowing them to book.

Merry fecking Christmas.
There's been two basic systems from the start, the GPs with their own various systems, and the NHS national booking system, which was set-up in a rush, and is not compatible with all the different GP systems. The records on vaccines do get aligned, but there tends to be a bit of a lag.
Billions were wasted on a planned integrated IT system for the NHS & GPs, which started under the Blair government and was scrapped in around 2010, so if they had tried to have joined all the systems up, in a rush for the vaccine roll-out, then we would have experienced incompetence.

And some of it is the resistance (including from plenty on here) for a joined up sharing medical records system. It is a total mess, I see patients and write up notes, and then in A&E the same day often their records can't be seen as it's different systems. Same between some GPs and hospital etc etc. Patients also often don't update their address on their GP record which causes confusion, plus IT incompetence and out-of-date systems. Add in the mix where some stuff is done on paper and some on a computer, and then the paper stuff gets scanned (at some point) and added to your records, and you can see why it's a piecemeal chaotic mess.

Given how historically shit the integration of NHS IT is, I'm frankly amazed how well the national vaccine booking system works and links to GP records. The rate of problems and complaints must be minuscule in comparison to the number of vaccinations.

I had Moderna booster on Tuesday morning and the side effects hit hard 12 hours later. Spent most of yesterday in bed with flu symptoms including a fever and still feel shit today with headache etc. I also had no real side effects with AZ shots.
