Still two weeks to go before it fully takes effect. They reckon it's 22 days. Then, of course, I have to have my booster. Booked in for 2 May.
Glad to hear you are doing better lizann. Do you still have to take any medication?Quote:

I had my second dose of A-Z today. I had it done at Clacton Hospital which is designated a "Mass Vaccination Centre". There was one nurse on duty! Interesting definition of mass!
However, I do have to say, it was all dealt with very professionally and efficiently.
the health workers everywhere are doing their best, poor india having it bad now and it produces vaccines for export, all about the money
Had my first jab yesterday, Astra Zenica, feel absolute crap today, arm is ready to drop off it hurts so much, bruise showing and I am not looking forward to second one in August :( Hope it does not last for long ...
So sorry to hear that, Perdy. But, even that is better than getting COVID.Quote:

I am not sure if that is case everywhere but in Germany if your 1st jab is Astra then you get Moderna as your second one. I still haven't got any appointment and I can't even start to go on waiting list yet.Quote:

Still feel pretty bad, arm a bit sore still but better than it was, but still tired and flu like symptoms unless I take paracetamol. I understand that symptoms after second jab are worse, God help me feeling like this in August :( Sorry you still have to wait, Siobhan, guess it is due to the age group you are in. Hope you get your vaccination soonQuote:

my 2nd dose of pfizer was delayed as on antibiotics again for an infection
Get better soonQuote:

Awww sorry Lizann, I am feeling much better now, still get flu like symptoms strangely at midday and wee bit tired but arm is not so painful as it was. I have a friend who said what you said .. said if you shake me, I am going to rattle .. He was fine until a couple of months ago.. he is 82 years old but has been diagnosed with terminal cancer .. due to covid restrictions here I have not been able to see him since February or early March .. he does not want to see anyone now because of being so ill .... we had so many disagreements but I really would like to see him again one last time but have to respect his feelings .. :(Quote:

His partner is looking after him as best as she can and they now have the local cancer charity involved who helps with transport to hospital and translating services and palliative care has now been put in place too. I think his partner wants to look after him as long as she can at home, I doubt he will change his mind about being seein, does not even want his family come over from UK. :(Quote:
