Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I'm in France, and here they believe that best results come from an eight week gap between AZ shots.
I'll trust my doctor.

Your doctor may be right but it is more a matter of belief than clinical evidence. If your doctor has actually read the clinical trial evidence then he or she is a rare bird indeed.

The pragmatic view is that the evidence on interval shows that there is a benefit from a longer interval, but a rather small one, and unlikely to be really clinically meaningful. The delay in the UK was presented as a superior dosing regime but in reality was done to clear the decks for more first vax. In population terms, that was reasonable.

Either way, it is fine and 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, whatever, get the shot and you'll be fine.

They word on the street seems to be that the first AZ is worse than the second and the second Pfizer is worse than the first. But generally well tolerated.

I had my first AZ on Thursday, had a splitting sore head for a few hours but fine now, my wife was fine after her first Pfizer but felt pretty bad for a day or so after her second, so could be something in that, but as always there are others who are perfectly fine after both doses of either one.

AZ jab on Thursday, felt rough yesterday, still not 100%. Next jab will be booked for a Monday or Tuesday, not feeling crap on my time again.

Lol! My second jab was offering from Sunday 2nd may

I have that week off

Booked it for Friday 7th.. I'll die at work cheers lol
 
Had my first jab (AZ) on Thursday evening and was a bit worried as the nurse told me that the most common side effect was a 48 hour high temperature - that would have stopped me working at the football last night as you get temp checked on admission and I didn't fancy a 50 mile drive only to get turned away - but I didn't have any side effects at all - was very impressed with the organisation at the vaccination centre.

Missus get her first jab on Monday, hopefully she doesn't get any side effects too.

Anyone lose their appetite after their jab?

Sitting here at home on a sporting TV day, normally I'd be thinking about what food and booze to tuck into later, but don't fancy either which is very unusual.

Yes. Things not tasting quite right and making me feel a tad queezy after I've eaten.

I had Pfizer in Jan and was fine. So if I get AZ soon that could be best case scenario - great news.
 
I had the Pfizer in January and had a sore arm for less than a day. HID had the AZ last Sunday and it was the same for him. Same as after the flu jab.

Out of interest did you feel that same about BLM, XR protesters etc? Only reason I ask is that I’ve seen plenty of people on social media branding them ‘Covidiots’ etc yet have #BLM etc all over their profile. I bet they weren’t saying the same about those protests last summer, it just happens that they don’t agree with this particular protest and therefore take offence about this lot breaking the rules.
