steve_b_wales Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I've had my 2nd one (Social Care Key worker) I had the Pfizer vaccine. No side effects apart from a sore shoulder, which was expected. Edited March 4, 2021 by steve_b_wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Missed my chance! Got a letter on Monday saying I could go online and book, got round to it last night. Nearest was Carlisle so booked first for end of month, booked second but by the time I’d got to the end my date and time for second changed! Got distracted so left it ‘til tonight, which told me nearest centre was now Kendal. Booked first for next Thursday but no dates for second available, so cancelled it all and will now just wait for GP to call. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Had our first two weeks ago; GP just called and asked if I could turn up that afternoon....too true. No problems for me but wife was poorly for a couple of days after Astro Zeneca one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labstaff Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I've had two doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine with no side effects, but I know some people who have had a dose and have. Same with the Pfizer. Think it just depends on the person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor91 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 My 26 year old mate had his a few weeks ago. No ailments or anything but it seems there are ways to manipulate the system. Morally it wouldn’t sit right with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmicblue Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'm in the 'Pfizer Club', was a slick operation - text message from the GP surgery with a hyperlink to a site that offered a choice of vaccination locations, picked one and was then offered a choice of times and got jabbed Monday 22nd, no news of the booster jab though.

I had a similar thing - and finally got a slot on 4th try. Going tomorrow, about 15 miles away. Couldn't get a second slot (late May) at the same place, so going to a different place (about 7 miles in the opposite direction) in May.
