It’s not exactly a remarkable experience considering at least half (probs more considering U75’s ageing demographic) have had it done and have had few ‘side’ effects
Which jab did you have - Astra Zeneca or Pfizer? And what side effects?

I had Pfizer yesterday. Felt fine all day, worked, even went for a really long walk in the evening, but once I got back in, my arm started to really ache and I just felt exhausted. Feel much the same today, luckily have no classes today.

Covid vaccine: 96% of Britons develop antibodies after one jab, study finds
Results show Pfizer/BioNTech and Oxford/AstraZeneca jabs are proving highly effective

I'm taking part in the UCL Virus Watch study that article talks about, I send off a blood sample once a month to be tested for N and S antibodies. Got my monthly results back today and the test detected S antibodies, which means the AZ jab workedCovid vaccine: 96% of Britons develop antibodies after one jab, study finds

I assumed it had but the confirmation is nice.

What about the Moderna jab planetgeli
Quite a high chance a lot of the forthcoming vaccinations will be Pfizer or Moderna. That's what Im being offered anyway. Which options should I choose? Explain myself

I don't make the software. I can't edit the poll. It's sufficed for the 86% of Urbz who have been jabbed so far.
We've stolen your pensions and ruined your future. Why do you think us oldsters (boomer!) would give a shit about jab side-effects on youngsters? Except to mock your further misery?

Plain English translation - Moderna vaccine.

Someone should make a poll for that.

This is based on what you posted before about research with the first jab of mRNA vaccines causing a very strong response in those who had previously been infected with Covid-19?
Do you know why that might be? And how long does this last potentially? I had covid in March 2020 and probs dont have antibodies - so is that likely for me with an mRNA vaccine?

Dust.
The act of injecting the mRNA vaccine itself will cause localised (typically injection arm) reactions. The innate immune response to something 'foreign' in your arm will produce cytokines, chemokines, and prostaglandins. The former will dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow, cause swelling, and along with the chemokines, inflamation and thence pain. The prostaglandins enjoy directly niggling your pain receptors. In addition, RNA is known to strongly stimulate the innate immune system and the lipid nanoparticles coating the mRNA are intended to (in part) be an adjuvant.
Other than the painful arm, the rest of the experience was, I suspect, my adaptive immune system kicking in, recognising something it had seen before (ie the spike RBD epitopes it had just been told to manufacture). I too had COVID-19 some 14 months ago and the original antibodies will most likely have greatly waned but (assuming my immune system works) the B and T cell responses kicking in were probably part of what left me feeling somewhere between a particularly bad night out clubbing and having been run over by a bus.

I had the Az at 12.30pm Sunday, stared feeling a bit tired about 7pm, then aches, chills, nausea, and vomiting by 10pm. Feeling very cold, nausea, and headache all Monday, and very tired and brain foggy Tuesday.

This has ruined my imagined view of you in a lab coat, with grey hair brought on by great wisdom. Are you really that young?

Phone up the number? Try the website?

If you have been unable to find a GP yourself, you can ask your local Clinical Commissioning Group to find you a GP.

I've heard of vaccination clinics in London aimed at undocumented migrants, rough sleepers etc, but would be surprised if they are widespread. Dunno where you are.
Oh, just found this: COVID-19 Vaccine Pop-up clinics - NHS South East London CCG
It's a friend, he's in Kent not London. Do they not ask for GP at these clinics for sure?
What number? He is unable to use the NHS website, it doesn't recognise him as he lived out of the country for a long time.
This sounds long winded but in case there's no other way, how do we find his local CCG?

They should be able to get it done anywhere, the obstacle is booking an appointment.
“All sites are reminded that any patient, including NHS staff, does not require a NHS number or GP registration to receive a vaccination and should never be denied one on this basis...If GP registration is not possible, and no existing NHS number can be found, then providers should vaccinate now, record locally via a paper system and ensure that that the vaccination event is recorded on Pinnacle at later date.” (link)
If it’s easy for them to turn up and ask, I’d suggesting doing that, provided they are age-eligible. Could also ring round the local GPs and ask.

Local GPs are being extremely unhelpful. He's in his 50s so should be on his second jab already.

Maybe the first thing to try is just turn up at his local vaccination centre and see if they'll give him one. End of the day might be best as a lot of centres give out spare vaccinations to anyone then anyway.

Five days on from AZ 2: Return of the Destroyers.
No noticeable side effects, though mild ones may have been masked by the fact that I was already on strong painkillers. Massive reaction to the first jab, so am glad to have got off lightly and in keeping with other reports.

I'm going to give him all the suggestions but as he doesn't live in a city, he may be quite far from his nearest centre and he doesn't drive so wouldn't want to go on a hope and a prayer.
