Have you had your booster jab (jag) ?

Waiting for pcr result but lateral flow tests are showing positive. But, but, I just got the booster, just! It can’t be so! I can’t get covid during the holidays surely that kinda crap should happen during work time.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
My mates was on the 4th and he kept going on the booking system. Had his 2 days ago.

No amount of cajolery...
to be honest i had such a nightmare actually booking it i'd rather not have anything else go wrong. i'd also prefer not to wait around for hours like i did with my first jabs and potentially catch something while waiting in line

I will have to wait until mid-March for my booster.
I really don't see the point, at this stage.

A (senior to me now) colleague who I have previously liked and respected, and who has previously slagged off her anti-vax sister on teams calls, has decided not to have a booster. I can't explain why, except that she's fed up with everything and wants to get covid, to get natural immunity.
Myself and M, ( the only two people on the call senior enough to give her grief) did weigh in. She didn't care.
Fuck's sake.

Pandemic fatigue is a real danger I reckon. So many people are now not being as careful as last year. I wonder how many who skipped family gatherings last Christmas are meeting up this year, just when the situation seems more dangerous than ever with the virus. January hospital admissions are going to be bad

I had my booster yesterday. First two were AZ (no side effects) the booster was Pfizer.
I feel like shit - fuzzy head, dead arm and like i've gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson!

I hummus, therefore I am ...
My Pfizer booster may have made me feel a bit weary, but wine masked it ... it was all local - like the flu jab - and I regretted choosing my right arm for that one - I suppose my body had to work on FOUR sets of antibodies for more biotopes with that ...
Could only get an appointment on 2nd January and there are no walk ins around here
I popped into my local pharmacy to pick up a prescription and they happened to have 4 spare jabs going, so I took one right there on the spot. Was in and out in 5 mins.

I wonder what the difference is between people who have a reaction to the vaccines and those that don't. I had two AZs and didn't have any reaction to them at all. Followed by a Moderna Booster and flu jab on the same day which did make me feel a little strange on the first night so I popped a paracetamol and slept well and felt fine.
The persons giving me each of the jabs assured me I would certainly have side effects. After not having any I decided not to trust their judgement.
But there are people who have had side effects from all these, what is different about them compared to me I wonder?
When I last had a flu jab, the person giving it to me made a point of saying there was no active flu in the jab, everything was dead and couldn't give me flu.
Anyhow interesting to wonder why some get side effects and others dont.

All the pharmacies here have signs saying there are no walk in jabs though

Booster of virus destruction?

Oh that sucks. You could still try your luck though. The one I went into said they were crazy busy last week, and then suddenly this week they were quieter. And the guy who gave me the jab told me to tell anyone else looking for a jab that I knew to pop in ASAP as he didn't want to waste the last 3 shots. But it still said you had to book at the sign on the door though.
I wondered on the reason too. I had the virus itself at the start of the pandemic, and it was fairly bad. Then I felt nothing from my first booster 12 months later (AZ). This second booster almost 10 months later (PZ) did have side-effects.

Yeah, that first bit is nonsense and not what anyone should be saying.
There's a fair bit of stuff kicking about explaining why some people have effects and some don't, articles have been posted on here.

Not sure what emoji, or combo, that deserves, tbh.Bloody teenager I've got here for Xmas booked theirs for yesterday, then overslept and missed it. Re-booked for early January.
What are they like?

They had covid in January this year, got both jabs without prompting, then they went to uni in September, asked if they should get the booster and sorted it all out. Then fell at the final hurdle! TBF they couldn't have been better through the whole last 18 months though.
Lots of her peers haven't got the jabs at all though (British born Asian Muslim background) and are full of conspiracy as the reason why, which she's scathing about!
