We both literally had jab 2. Hoping no acheing like jab 1 as got stuff to do tomorrow.

Sorry to disappoint Albie but Caroline and I found the second hurt more, more a kick in the arm than the punch the first one was. Still it does mean that if you do get infected and start to develop symptoms they're going to be mild.

Love the join the dots Slob, the last one looks like our hospitals network after a power outage LOL

Oh... 4 hrs later not felt a thing. Hope I feel the same in morning . Fingers crossed I am spared :mand:

When I had my first jab, the nurse said not to worry if I had a reaction to it as that was probably a good sign that my body was giving a strong response.
That rather left the door open and so I had to ask whether it was therefore a bad sign if I didn't have a reaction. She said .. er, no, that's also a good thing.
So off I toddled, feeling like I had been treated rather like a child.
Anyway, I had no reaction to that jab and neither did I have a reaction to the second one a couple of weeks ago. Nothing at all.
I have no idea whether I have immunity now or not ... though I like to call it "invincibility" actually .. just for the giggle.
Truthfully, I believe that I have the regulation 80 odd percent, or whatever the figure is for the one derived from Chimp ****.
Funny old world, eh ?
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.
Though was it ever otherwise ?

First jab I thought I'd been ripped off, medic said "right that's it" I didn't even know he had started, felt nothing at all and had no side effects. Second jab last Thursday, I felt the needle go in but still no side effects, so with a bit of luck I'll be fully protected in a couple of weeks (or as protected as I can be). I'll still wear a mask and not mix with people for a good while yet though, I've worked hard for my pension, I want to collect it.

[slob]

felt like i’d been punched in the arm after the first one but no other symptoms, much less sore this time.

I think your reaction depends on your age (older the better!) and the type of jab you get.

I'm one of the few to get the Moderna Jab (37 quid a go) versus the AZ (3 quid a go). Pals of mine that got the AZ said it was like the worst hangover ever for a few days, the Moderna on the other hand had absolutely no side effects. You pays you money etc.......

[slob]

AZ, wasn’t given a choice. 12 weeks older for second jab ;-)
did 30 press ups when I got home, might have helped?

[Thuli]

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with the cost, and by inference the quality, of the jab you have. I have heard the same reports across all three types available here so far; reactions and side effects are entirely individual and not necessarily the same for first and second jabs. My boss, who never takes time off sick was knocked sideways by the Moderna and forced to take a day off. slob and I both had AZ from the same batch for both jabs, administered by the same person each time, and both reacted differently.

Likewise for a couple of days but no problem with the second.

[Mr Gazza]

I just felt a bit of a prick.

The reaction you get is purely down to your immune system. Every "body" literally has one, and they are as unique as your DNA or fingerprint.

Still waiting to hear from my GP for the second jab after my first well over 12 weeks ago. Phoned them before the 12 weeks was up and they said phone back at the end of next week if you don't hear.Phoned back -this is a practice where you can wait for over an an hour to speak to a human if you are lucky -they no longer tell you where you are in the queue-got fed up of waiting-and haven't phoned back since as yet as I have a life to live (provided I don't get Covid) -still haven't heard from them.I'm off to phone them again now........

[Albie]

We pretty much both ok today. Did my chores that I promised ok but aching a bit this afternoon. Happy it's all over for a while until next jabs.

That's what happened to me no Astra zenica from my gp appointment. Got cancelled so booked nhs different place but nearby enough.

Don't hold your breath anyone, my best information from the front lines of the NHS (north pennine area) where they have a surge of this indian varient is that it is VERY easy to get infected.
NHS immunised staff that already have had covid Mk 1 and those that haven't had a previous bout are catching this new improved version and testing positive and are symptomatic though mild.
This is going to drag on for a long while yet :(

[motomartin11]

Went on line and the most convenient / earliest appointment I could get is 15 miles away on Friday at 6.30 pm after work.(I have 2 jobs so have to fit in with each employer.) I fully appreciate all the effort and logistics involved but am annoyed at the so called service from my GP practice. According to their website they are assessed by the CQC as outstanding but the reality on the ground is quite different-many -many complaints locally of difficulty even getting through to them by telephone-not a particular problem for me personally but it's the very young, elderly, infirm or mentally ill who will suffer.
