Ah thanks for the tip. Fortunately for me, all feeling rough side-effects seem to have gone since earlier this evening. I hope you also feel better soon.
Have you had your booster jab (jag) ?

Spiky things (thistles, nettles, hedgehogs etc) are 'jaggy' in Scots. You jag yourself on a thistle rather than scratching yourself too. It's the usual word for injection in most of Scotland.

Dust.
Just to mention this negative case control study (UKHSA/NIHR (LSHTM/Imperial)) which sets out to establish the effectiveness of Pfizer as a third dose booster after either two standard doses of Pfizer or AstraZeneca. Almost 250,000 UK participants, all aged 50+ years. Note that the data were analysed before omicron arrived on the scene so the numbers indicate vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection with delta.
Of interest here are these plots where one can see that the booster effectiveness significantly ramps up during the second week after third dose (relative to any meaningful baseline).
Much younger, immunocompetent individuals might respond faster, but it would still be wise to allow two weeks.

What they’re showing here is time between booster and symptom onset, not the time between booster and becoming infected with the virus. As the question asked is when boosters establish protection from infection, and Delta’s incubation period is around 4 days, you need to subtract that from the onset dates.
Looking at Figure 1 we can see protection from symptoms is certainly achieved by 12 days post-booster, which means protection from infection is achieved from 8 days post-booster.

Feeling better this morning after a rough night of what felt like flu.

Two days on from mine and I've not had much of a reaction from my 3rd moderna. Slightly sore arm and felt a bit sleepy yesterday but that's it. Big difference to the first too which made me feel awful for days.

I'm still in bed (jabbed monday afternoon) as I'm tired all over achey and feeling hot/cold - to be fair I feel hot/cold most of the time anyway which doesn't help with sleeping.
Really odd thing is site of flu jab in opposite arm from two weeks ago, is just as painful as the latest jab in the arm- what is that about?

The boss has started to demand we all take tests once a week, the one where someone sticks a cotton bud up your nose and tries to poke your brains out with it. Apparently I don't have Covid so the vaccinations must be working.
This place is full of nutters who reckon they're being oppressed and keep arguing about it.

Yeh, I was hideously ill with my first AZ, so was shitting it a bit tbh, but yay!
The new LFTs are much more user-friendly than the old ones. No gagging, no eye watering, just 5 times round in each nostril, easy peasy.

heckling from the back!
Hope so ! I've managed to stay covid-free so far, although I've administered a test to OH before they went for an out-patient appointment [it was for Ear/Nose/Throat, so kind of made sense !]
What's annoying me, is that a company has to pay, yet individuals can get 'em free.

Youngest (29) just booked hers for this Saturday. She’d abandoned the queue at the first attempt because she thought 3000 ahead of her would take ages to shift, in fact the online queue moves at lightning speed. She had Pfizer for the first two. Eldest booked hers on Sunday but it’s on 23/12, she felt rough for a day or two after her first AZ but not the second. Think this venue is only doing Moderna boosters.

I’m due my booster tomorrow but I just tested positive so I can’t go.

Had mine today (Pfizer -> Pfizer -> Moderna). Cos my first one was booked through my GP and the second two were at a walkin I still don't trust they've got my details right (the guy looked me up and asked if I was here for my second dose), but I guess at least now they've got it on record that I've had my second dose? Did have one car wanker drive past the queue and shout "stop conforming! stop conforming" at us but they were gone before I could think of a snappy comeback.

Does anyone know what's going on with teenagers who've only had one jab so far (at school)? We had a letter from school implying that boosters could be booked now but when I finally finished the virtual queue on the NHS website it said she was ineligible. The Daily Fail said that bookings are open from Monday but not sure I trust that source.

I did, but had no reaction at all really. Not even a sore arm. Felt a bit tired after the first and quite tired after the second, with a sore arm that hurt when I rolled over in bed, but that’s all standard injection business.

Maybe this is a question for another thread, but why are people’s reactions to jabs so diverse? Some people are laid low for a few days and some not affected at all. Is it just a general thing ie some people are more sensitive to any injections, not just these particular vaccines, or is it just the vaccines that have had bad side effects for some?
Is it just a physiological thing in the same way that some people are more allergic/sensitive to things than others?

That’s very weird. He got massively ripped off by a private hospital. Buying them privately is an option there though not what most people do, but even so prices are supposed to be fixed, at around ten times less than that.

I felt okay afterwards (had it Monday) but felt terrible yesterday. I went to bed really early with paracetamol. Fine this morning though
