I know a couple of people, with underlying medical conditions, in their early 30's who have had it, with no side effects whatsoever. My wife , who is younger than me, has had both doses, and again had no side effects. In fact, the only person I know who has been badly affected was my 78 year old father in-law , who became so weak, he couldn't get out of his bed for 24 hours.

rabuddies Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 The sore arm has nothing to do with the vaccine, it's because it's an intramuscular injection - the quickest way to get the vaccine into the bloodstream. Most vaccines are given as an intramuscular injection. The sleepiness is the vaccine. Most folk I know who have had the jab have a period about 1 or 2 days after the jab when they just feel as if somebody has found their off switch. 💤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardBuddie Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 One of my mates told me that if you are an unpaid carer you can register for the vaccine. I have just registered (I care for my son) and await a response, thought I’d share because I bet many buds will currently qualify under that rule if they don’t already have the vaccine [emoji382] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waited a week and still no blue envelope. Phoned up on Saturday and they told me my date. My work colleague registered and got his vaccine within four days. However, I have to wait two weeks longer, with the risk of passing on infection, because I already have an appointment. My brother has to wait a month! Another system that doesn't work properly.

oaksoft Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 A year since lockdown. It's worth taking a step back for a moment. We've managed to vaccinate half the country and almost all of our vulnerable people from a standing start in just a few months. There's a lot to grumble about regarding our handling of the pandemic. The vaccination program certainly isn't one of them. A few petulant, idiotic teachers and policemen disgracefully wittering on about how they should have been allowed to jump the queue shouldn't detract from the largest and most successful vaccination rollout in living memory.

Given that carers like ourselves look after the most vulnerable in society, it's a good thing. Half the population is classed as vulnerable. Pretty much ALL of us are either in that category or are living with someone in that category or have someone in that category in our immediate family. For many of us, we fall into both caring and vulnerable categories but by and large you don't hear any of us constantly going on about it the way you do. The absolute priority is to focus solely on getting the vulnerable themselves vaccinated and both governments have done an excellent job of doing just that. Nothing should distract from that right now. Quit blowing smoke up your own arse and quit whining about the vaccination process. You are not uniquely affected by this so STFU and show a bit more dignity. Edited March 23, 2021 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykey Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Just back from getting AZ jab, very well organised, pain free, and, so far at least, side effect free as well [emoji382][emoji123] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Daughter's had both jags now, she said she was slightly more affected by the 2nd one, prolonged headache but a few paracetamol and she's right as rain. The vast majority of people we know have had next to no side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 The media seizing on vaccination passports for pubs. Really? To start with Scotland, for some reason, has decided NOT to provide evidence of vaccination. Secondly there is no way this could be policed by the majority of pubs, an non story IMO.

Pretty clear why no evidence is issued. It's very resource-intensive to build up a data base that people can use, which would probably be best done by a something like the DVLA licence check-code system. Any paper certs are vulnerable to forgery and other abuse, apart from providing a reminder to the recipient serve no real purpose. At some point, we will probably have a check-code system in place for travel, etc, but resources are concentrated on reducing current and future infections just now Edited March 31, 2021 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
