I signed up right at the beginning, mostly to get my jab as early as possible but I continued to volunteer for a while as 'payback' for my vaccination. (And because I had nothing better to do.) There was some Zoom training in the beginning, they were innundated with volunteers to start with, which resulted in them putting too many people on shift. Which in turn resulted in some people (like me) getting fed up with standing around doing nothing. Now I get regular emails pleading for people to join shifts which are short staffed and there are regular induction sessions running to train up new volunteers. As I have said, I will probably sign up for a few shifts leading up to Christmas because it's looking like there is a genuine need now.Do they need non-medical volunteers ?
Loads, when I went for my initial jabs I met Eldest Q's father-in-law, he was on internal queue marshalling stood inside pointing out to people where to queue and making sure they stood 2m apart. He was an area sales manager for a food wholesaler before retirement so his medical knowledge is on a par with mine.Do they need non-medical volunteers ?
Probably a stupid question, but why is it called jag?
Listening to Nicola Sturgeon she says it, + the thread title has it (which I thought was a joke).
Same here. I didn’t feel dreadful after the first two, just a bit hungover. This one I had sore arm after 12 hours, which has pretty much gone now. Also felt floopy/ rough after 24 hours. This has lasted for 24 hours and is ongoing. But not dreadful.AZ for the first two, Moderna this time.

snorted or chasing the lemsip?I've found Lemsip to be quite helpful.
I had the leg thing ( Pfizer though) parts were really sensitive to the touch. Had mine on the 6th and my arm is still sore to the touch. At least I can lie on it now.Urgh, got pretty lucky with the first two but this one has wiped me out. Hardly slept due to aching legs and fluctuating temperature.
Not too surprising since they had already indicated this was probably on the cards.

The vaccine centre I got my booster at yesterday was already doing a typical bending of the previous guidance, by saying we should stay for 'at least 10 minutes' after our jabs.
Side note really but I was wondering why IgA sounded like something I'd heard of and it's the breastmilk thing.This NEJM study indicates degrees of growing neutralisation up to at least a month after third dose booster (here a homologous Pfizer regimen), particularly in older persons. Unfortunately few published studies provide sufficiently high enough time resolution trajectories for various immunogenic markers. Also, bear in mind that (for example) IgG evolution doesn't necessarily shed great light on mucosal IgA kinematics (which likely has a much greater bearing on efficacy to infection, and thus transmission implications); IgA has rarely been measured (outside of animal models and intranasal/oral vaccine candidate studies).
cific IgA and IgG antibodies in breast milk for 6 weeks after vaccination. IgA secretion was evident as early as 2 weeks after vaccination followed by a spike in IgG after 4 weeks (a week after the second vaccine). A few other studies have shown similar findings in women infected with COVID-19.5
Oral administration!Side note really but I was wondering why IgA sounded like something I'd heard of and it's the breastmilk thing.
Prick, kick and out the door?

Can't see that eliminating the 15 min wait will increase the vaccination rate, It's the last step and basically just needs space to store the thumb twiddlers. The place where my booster was given had three folks actually giving vaccinations and the freshly jabbed went onto some rows of chairs to wait. If those chairs weren't there there would still be only three jabbers jabbing away.
az-az-mo for me too. had my booster yesterday. feels like somone's jabbed a needle straight into my arm...Same here. I didn’t feel dreadful after the first two, just a bit hungover.
