Literally just had the AZ. Hoping to control the lights by my chip when I get home!

Just your NHS number.

You should have a letter or text? That'll do. Nobody has asked my NHS number.

I had the AZ on Saturday. Felt a little tired later on, so I didn't go for my usual walk. On Sunday I woke up with a headache but I took some tablets and went out. Walking around the park, I started to feel unwell so I headed back home and spent the rest of the day on the sofa with alternate chills/hot flushes. Was OK by Monday afternoon. My arm is still sore though. Totally worth it though.

Not obligatory, but it's the quickest way for them to find you on the system.

At the NHS vaccination centres, they like you to have your NHS number as it speeds things up, I didn't need it at my GP surgery, where I was just asked for my name.
I don't have a clue what that is.

Up the bum - no babies!!!
I had mine (AZ) yesterday and have had a bit of a savage night's sleep (or lack of it) with chills and a headache that painkillers (still!) haven't shifted. Feeling achey this morning, too, but am off work today so nothing a day spent lounging won't fix!
Am imagining that's the worst of it but will hold off from voting for a bit longer.

I was told to take photo ID, I took my passport which was checked.

I havent looked at data about this for a long time, but a very early study from China suggested a hospitalisation rate of 8.2% for people in their 50's. The same study had a rate of 18.4% for people in their 80's.
I personally know several people in their 30's without known health conditions who had to go to hospital, briefly, when they had Covid.
There are many sensible reasons why people can argue about the exact hospitalisation rates, but it is incredibly unwise to make sweeping generalisations about whether a particular younger person is likely to have a bad experience with Covid.

The following chart of England daily hospital admissions/diagnoses in hospital broken down into age groups should provide some clues. Younger age groups still made up a significant number of those hospitalised.

Are you a health/care worker? I received a message saying health/care workers needed to show photo id, but nobody else.

No, I'm a pensioner. But the online booking system I was referred to by my gp surgery did say photo ID was to be brought.

I had my second jab of AZ vaccine yesterday at the Oval, where I had my first jab 8 weeks ago as part of the Lambeth Hub. I had booked my second jab on the NHS site for mid April at the Junction Pharmacy, because that is a short walk away. Out of the blue, I got a text from the Lambeth Hub saying I could book my second shot. I followed the link and was offered slots for the next day, which I took (I've now cancelled the NHS appointment).
It was extremely efficient, I think it was about 10 minutes from arrival to departure, half of which was filling out the form. This time I was jabbed by a medic in military fatigues and given a sticker.
I had quite a strong but short reaction to the first jab. Deep shivering that lasted a few hours overnight followed by high temperature then feeling a bit washed out for a couple of days.
In contrast, I've had no reaction at all to the second jab.

It's a luxury to feel a bit ill for a day or two, rather than weeks, months or even death from covid.
And, you could be amongst the majority that haven't suffered any side effects, like me.
