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.I've found Lemsip to be quite helpful.

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).
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.Stuff I've seen says booster generates a good immune response much quicker than the previous 2 doses, days rather than 2-3 weeks, but don't have the study to hand, think also 2hats posted something along those lines on here maybe?

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.
Feeling better this morning after a rough night of what felt like flu.Booster yesterday.
AZ> AZ> Moderna. Feel fine today. felt fine on all of them apart from achy arm.
Yeh, I was hideously ill with my first AZ, so was shitting it a bit tbh, but yay!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.
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.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, much nicer to use!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.
Aw shit. I hope you're ok DannyI’m due my booster tomorrow but I just tested positive so I can’t go.
It hit me hard yesterday ha ha. lethargic, achy etc. Had a shit night's sleep but the achy stuff has gone nowFeeling better this morning after a rough night of what felt like flu.
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.Has anyone who has received three doses of Pfizer had a worse reaction to the booster than to the two primary doses? I’ve had 2 x Pfizers in the summer without any great reaction apart from slightly sore arm, and soon hopefully can get the booster dose and just wondering what the chances are of having anything worse from the booster?
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.Just explaining to an indian colleague how he can get a free booster from nhs website.
He is very happy as he paid £100 each for his two AZ vaccines in India before he moved here.
I felt okay afterwards (had it Monday) but felt terrible yesterday. I went to bed really early with paracetamol. Fine this morning thoughActually I feel exhausted today. Is that normal for Pfizer? Tbf I have two children with norovirus so could just be that.
