So, 41 and no underlying health conditions (that I’m aware of) and today I’ve had the invite to get jabbed! Booked in for Thursday.

Crack on, the 45+ are being a bit slow so you might find them throwing it open to 35+ before to long as the younger it gets the more reluctant the uptake at the moment by the look of things.

@Ethan - is there any suggestion that people who have previously had Covid are more likely to have side effects from the vaccine? A totally unscientific view point based only on anecdotal evidence on my part seems to suggest that the people I know who have already had Covid have felt worse after receiving the jab than those who hadn't. Is there any medical opinion or evidence behind this or is it just a random chance based on a small sample size?

Yes, this has been reported and it seems quite plausible. Some people also report the 2nd vax had more side effects than the first (although that varies a bit between the different vax available), and that is probably because your immune system is primed and responds more strongly. If you have had Covid, then you are already primed when you get the vax. But Covid cases still should get it, because the immune coverage they get will be broader and probably longer lasting after vax.

My small sample size suggests yes. I felt really rough after the jab - way worse than Covid for me! Hoping the 2nd will have less effect for sure.

Booked in for my jab this afternoon. Really looking forward to it now I've read side effects can be worse for people who've had covid ?. Which wasn't pleasant at the time.

I think everyone can be different. I had AZ at about 2pm and started to get goosebumps and chills at around 9pm. After that it was the coldest I've ever felt until about 3am when I was roasting hot and felt very nauseous. Staggered to the bathroom feeling I might keel over - wasn't actually sick but felt like that until about 9am when things improved a lot. After that just a headache and off colour for a couple of days but nothing too bad.
Next time I'm ready with the hot water bottles!!

Second doze was much better for me
Sore arm straight away
However that was about it
This was wednesday
I feel run down but my last night of 7 was also wednesday so Id say it's more kicking back into day mode that's making me feel tired
Had my second Pfizer yesterday. Feel like ? today. Small price to pay.

Unfortunately had to spend a few hours in A+E today, signs everywhere saying people were not to be accompanied by family members.
It had its normal variety of life, a drunk, old man moaning how long he’d been there, young guy who’d either been beaten up or in a fight.
So a couple approx late 20’s turn up, him with a daffodil lanyard, her wearing a mask, they were there for him, no idea why, but nothing visible and he was walking, talking fine.
He gets called in for Obs, comes out and says to her, the Nurse said she has to leave as per the rules, all hell breaks loose, she starts swearing, threatening the Nurse to the point Security is called! Drunk starts shouting, Old man has a go at her. Absolute disgraceful behaviour.
Totally beyond me why she’d behave like she did, unless she couldn’t read the signs are everywhere and quite large.
Staff just stayed calm and let her cause chaos.

Amazing what happens as soon as the pubs are allowed back.
Apparently people can be trusted and that hospitality wasn't an issue (according to pub owners)
Compare to few months ago a&e the daughter was in and out in 2 hours after breaking her arm and the place was empty.

Why is this the pubs fault? There appeared to be one drunk in A&E. Doesn’t seem to be much in the story above to start blaming hospitality?

Hospitality owners are quite vocal how their industry is covid secure (nothing is covid secure .. you can't see covid) and not one case traced back to them (apparently)
Yet they can't see whilst they are open again and may be following everything their customers in a main are ok but the idiots like this will cause problems everywhere .. not just spikes but drains on the NHS itself having to deal with them being idiots.

But what I meant is, where do you get it being the pubs fault? In that story about A&E there is only one drunk in there who doesn’t seem to be causing any issues. The couple that came in and caused all the fuss don’t appear to be drunk, she is just a tit intent on causing a row. Just seems a bit of a reach to start blaming this situation on the hospitality industry.

Pubs back equates to more drunken behaviour no?
All the photos I've seen on social media of people in "covid secure pubs" in their groups of 6 mates are really close together no social distancing .
