So many particulars. So many questions.
Got a letter to book it this morn, only the website can't find me so I'll have to ring them and work it out.

JCVI just confirmed 40-49 year olds are next up for the chip. I'm going to order a new 5g phone to celebrate.
Oh, excite! I was wondering if there was going to be further prioritising in the under 50s, or if it was going to be more random. checks phone for text messages [I do know it's likely to take a while longer still.]
ETA: Oh shit, in my excitement about being eligible in the 40-49 group, I had overlooked that this continued age prioritisation means a decision against prioritisation by occupation, e.g. teachers. Which I would actually like to see instead - all 20-49 year olds in teaching, food production, etc - to get their vaccine first. Someone just posted on the main UK covid thread about it [ETA again, see cupid_stunt 's post below], and supposedly they were concerns about being able to reach people by occupation and therefore slowing down the operation on the whole. But surely it shouldn't be too hard to go via employers? As indeed we have already heard from some people who were called in via their schools to fill leftover vaccine slots.

It's by age group again, after those in their 50s have had their jabs, which should be around mid-April.
New Covid vaccine priority list unveiled for rest of UK as teachers miss out
The JCVI vaccine authority has announced the order in which healthy adults under 50 should get the jab - with 40-49s first, then 30-39s, then 18-29s last

Thanks LynnDoyleCooper and 8ball I sort of feel a little bit heavy headed/swimmy but it's quite pleasant and mild. It's probably just me, I didn't have much sleep last night and I'm buzzing with happiness of having got jabbed so I suppose it's that combination. Only other symptom is my arm is a...

I’m now fully microchipped after having second dose today. It was blink & you missed it whereas first one felt like loads going in.

AZ or Pfizer? I had Pfizer and never felt a thing going in.

I had a tremendously sore arm from my first jab , it felt very thick going in & loads of it (Pfizer). After 2-3 hours even just to raise my arm to undo my belt for the toilet caused a lot of pain. It was gone in 24 hours. Today would second jab which I had at 08.45 I’m now feeling a bit of arm ache but nothing like first one.

Has a letter last week to book my second. Booked it for today. Went to the vaccination centre and was told I shouldn't have been sent the letter yet so I couldn't have my second. Apparently it's because my first wasn't put on the system properly
Got to wait a few days and then book again.

With apologies to danny la rouge for the extremely similar thread I thought it might be nice to see how quickly Urban does, or doesn't, get the jab. Simple poll, answers to apply to a first dose. Please remember to change your vote if you vote no and then get jabbed. I had mine this morning...

I remain not-entitled to vote in your poll, planetgeli , because I refuse on principle to vote anything other than 'Yes', and on that basis, I can't vote yet! 
Kinnell, England's pace of vaccination seems to be getting ever more superb at the moment ...... here in Wales, I'm jealous
England might be shite at rugby (
) but Wales need to get their vaccination shit together better .......

Tick tock.
That’s by no means a certain real-world outcome yet though - for instance a population-scale study in Scotland showed a greater efficiency for the AZ vaccine than the Pfizer one, (at least after 1 dose, comparing hospitalisation rates from 28 to 36 days post inoculation), 94% v 85% (albeit with overlapping confidence intervals):

Yeah, there's always going to a bit of variation between different vaccines - they key thing is whether they prevent serious illness, hospitalisation and death, and hopefully reduce asymptomic transmission.

I hope that masks and hand sanitising etc become the norm, especially given the contribution it’s made to reducing flu and Norovirus
