I'm considered to be someone with a severe learning difficulty by some - therefore, I was expecting a lollipop. Did not get a lollipop. :mad:
But, I am feeling much better this aft, the side effects didn't last long.

I was hoping for watery orange juice. :(

Must admit I was surprised how few people were at the session I went to. It was at the Darlington Arena, which is supposed to be the 4th biggest venue in the North East. There was only one room doing the actual injections, with 5 tables in it, though I guess they have the facility to open more. ONly about 15 cars in the car park too. Maybe it's because it's just opened and the message hasn't got out yet. I haven't had a GP letter, just saw the link Editor posted on here and booked it directly.

I went to a normal GP practise in Bounds Green, was invited by sms by my gp practise, but it was obviously meant to be for people with disabilities as it was fully accessible and staffed by happy cheery local community busybody types. Injections were done in private rooms in the practise but the paperwork was all handled first at freezing marquees outside. Was in and out in five minutes.

That's a little surprising. The place I went to was very tightly run, with a very fast-moving line of people branching into multiple lanes with about 12 check-in stations and a couple dozen vaccination stations (in the studio where they used to film Family Fortunes, making it feel like a set for a film about a pandemic). This was just one of many in the Nottingham area.
 
had AZ yesterday and am feeling definitely shit- achy, sweaty, knackered. Also, I can't really raise my arm. Slept all night wearing my glasses. In fairness, I am still on the first week of no tobacco so feeling bored and wretched anyway. They were using the Pfizer vacc...but had just run out before sweetheart and I got ours. Don't know whether to be miffed or not.

Looks like this was the first day the Darlington site was open, which must be the reason it was so quiet:
Fourth large coronavirus vaccination centre in North East to open at Darlington Arena - Chronicle Live

I'm beginning to think I've jump the queue somehow:
In line with the process already in place for all other vaccination services, the NHS will contact people when it is their turn to book their vaccine.

I haven't had a letter, just followed Editor's link, as mentioned. It's interesting if I have (inadvertently) done that. The whole system might now be set up so that anyone over 50 can book a vaccination, regardless of letters?

I was at my GP this morning, and I asked which vaccine I'm getting on Friday. Astra Zeneca, they said. They've run out of Pfizer. I initially felt a bit disappointed, but am also bloody grateful as well!

I got that one today and when I found out which one it would be I was tempted to reply with the former title of this thread: 'oh is that the shit one?' :D

Anyway, from what I've seen, the AZ does seem to be providing high levels of protection. For me, with a couple of health issues, the much reduced chance of hospitalisation if you do get it is a big win in itself.

Anyway, no side effects so far other than a slight mushiness. I do though retain the right moan at great length if that tips over into feeling slightly off colour. :thumbs:

Mention of the MMR vaccine just gave me a flare up of hatred for the disgusting Andrew Wakefield. Not just the damage he did back then, but continues to do in America.
Not surprisingly he's on the Covid bandwagon too:
Andrew Wakefield is back and thinks COVID-19 mRNA vaccines change DNA (skepticalraptor.com)

Anyway, I digress, must be the lizard dna and microbots I've just been injected with.

It's kinda unsurprising that he's double downed on the loonery. No reputable organisation would touch him with a bargepole.
I'd bet he'd even struggle to get a job stacking shelves. I can just imagine the interview. "So Andrew would you like to tell us why you left your last job?"

From what I remember, he's doing very well financially with his various scams and loon ideas. Also, very litigious towards his critics iirc.
 
Felt really achy last night and this morning and thought it might be building up to something lasting a couple of days, though it feels a bit better now. I'm not normally an apostle of positive thinking, ;) but that's probably a good outcome - nothing too horrible, but proof the thing is working as it should. Even The Shit One seems to work. :thumbs:
 
I'm also too old to have had the MMR, but I went to nursery from a few weeks old and I know I had measles, and I got mumps as an adult, so I'm probably immune from them all anyway.

Forgot to mention my other vaccine side-effect - a cold sore. They often come up if I get a different virus.

Yes I've got a cold sore now too.
