Pa Smiles is currently in this queue for his access all areas chip. I hope it doesn't interfere with my car's electronics when he gets back in

I was listening to a doctor talk about vaccines the other day. She was saying we shouldn't call most things side effects but effects. The vaccine's job is to provoke your immune system. Individual immune systems will react differently. Some will result in bigger tangible reactions but most will just have a sore arm.
My in-laws 80 and 76 both had sore arm and felt rough and fluey for a day. Pfizer.
My Mum and Dad are the same vintage as your Mum.
Dad has been fine but Mum says she has felt a bit woolly headed, not exactly faint or ill, just a bit brain fogged. Neither of them said they had a sore arm or any of the other things I've seen reported as after effects of the jab.

I'd told Mum to take her NHS number in and explain Dad has Parkinsons and she's his carer. After a quick conflab with a manager, they did her too. 15 mins wait to make sure no immediate reaction and I've just dropped them hope, Pfizerred up!

Just had mine; Pfizer. Very impressed with how smoothly they run it, and lovely kind staff (needles not my favourite but they totally put me at ease). I asked them how busy they’ve been; the woman vaccinating me said it was quieter than they had hoped but they were hopeful it would pick up.

Careless.

For anyone taking a carer, try to book an appointment near the end of the day as then there's more chance of spare doses. Taking NHS number sounds like a good move.
My mum's carer failed to get done as it was in the morning.

I called a mate out for writing 'jag' as a typo the other day, after his injection (key worker) and as a result I learned this all-important Scottish slang/word/mispronunciation
My 76 y/o shielding mum, with COPD, hasn't had any news of when hers will be (Salisbury area)

It's not a mispronunciation. Don't you use the word 'jaggy' to mean spiky in English? Thistles or holly trees are jaggy. By analogy an injection with a spiky needle is a jag. Tbh I probably more often say 'jab' than 'jag' anyway... I remember having an argument with my Scots lecturer at uni about whether saying 'jab' instead of 'jag' was 'a bit English'

Got mine today. Age 59, in Brixton, with ME/CFS, which is rated as an underlying condition for Covid purposes. I'm a bit surprised. I didn't think the NHS would regard ME/CFS as anything of consequence.

Jagged, not jaggy.
Just found it funny that in 49 years I'd never heard it, then twice in the same week is all. No offence intended.
(One of my best friends is Scots etc )

Interesting. I've supposedly got CFS and am 58. Wonder when I'll get mine.

What do you mean as an underlying condition? It doesn't make the clinically extremely vulnerable or clinically vulnerable list here. Not sure why you think the NHS doesn't regard ME/CFS as 'anything of consequence', it's a clearly recognised condition and has guidelines for diagnosis and treatment etc.

can anyone point me to any additional info re CFS? kid1 received this diagnosis just at the start of lockdown and i figured it was something to wrap our heads around once we'd hung on through the covid storm, but watching indiesage on long covid earlier has me asking questions. not least of which is how to detect covid symptoms on top of an underlying pattern of fatigue, pain and digestive issues
sorry at word-salad brain-dump stage :/

Do you mean in relationship to covid, or generally? Sure there's a thread on it elsewhere, probably best not to fill this thread up with stuff about it.

apologies for filling thread. specifically re covid.
if you don't see someone trying to work out how to look after their vulnerable kid - who is not in any line for any vaccine - at the end of that post, well.
