Re: Coronavirus

It’s says in the article we can book from Monday, but I just checked, and I can book today for Friday 19th November (last jab was on 21st May).

Good news. Did you manage to get it done locally?

Much better to do it today than wait for the Monday website crash. Just booked myself in for the 17th. I also had my last one on 21st May.

edit: Just booked my flu jab for this Monday too. No need to wait for the GP to contact you apparently

Mine won't be this year if they're sticking to anything like the original timescales.

Booked for 26th November - we’ve got various childminding/social things the previous week, and just in case of an slight adverse reaction, doing it at a time that we don’t have anything on (and my wife is having her shot in a different day, so we’re both not laid up at the same time, just in case).

Re: Coronavirus

I know this may sound a tad daft and soppy, and even though I don't know anyone here in real life, it does make me feel happy knowing that people who I know in this virtual community have survived the pandemic and are now getting their booster shots.

OK, feeling embarrassed by my Sunday morning musings I shall exit stage left.

I got my booster last Monday, Hugh, and maybe I'm lucky but had no adverse reaction from it, in fact, I've never had any adverse reaction from the previous two jabs either, hopefully, you and the missus are the same.

Re: Coronavirus

Aren't they just giving everyone a shot of Pfizer now, so a 1st to go with 2 AZs or a 3rd Pfizer depending on what you had before?


Also, I thought the sore arm was just because of having an injection. Mine was sore the day after, a bit more the 2nd time (which I actually felt them doing unlike the 1st) but only mildly-annoying so (even when playing the organ the day after the 1st).

Boosters are Pfizer or Moderna.

Re: Coronavirus

Well my main jabs were Pfizer, so hopefully the booster will be as well.
I had no reactions to J1 or J2. Mines a couple of days before Hugh (on the 24th).
