My grandfather who is 85 got his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine last week. He collapsed the day afterwards. He hadnt been feeling great and stayed in bed. He got up a little later and his legs went from under him. He is fine since thankfully and is glad to have gotten the vaccine.

That's scary. What was he like before the vaccine?

We would consider him healthy in that he is mostly independent and still drives and insists on doing his own shopping etc. He was in hospital right before covid for issues with breathing and he does suffer from arthitis but other than that he is healthy for his age.

Yes - Moderna first jab

After the chills passed last night my temperature nearly got up to 39. I took a panadol just before bed and sweated like mad (never usually get night sweats ) and this morning it was just a few aches and pains, but I still called to cancel plans i had to look after a family member as I'm a bit run down and wouldn't want to be knocked tonight again like last night.

Very very glad I don't have work today.

Absolutely fine or absolutely fücked?

AstraZeneca dose 1 tomorrow in the Aviva. I tried to reply to the text to confirm, but it said it didn't support replies. I copied the number and wrote back with a yes, heard nothing back. Had something similar with Beaumont a few weeks ago (not re Covid) and they did reply.

Sorry, it was a poor attempt at humour from me, I haven’t actually had it.

Hmm, that was very odd. For my appt in Beaumont I just had to reply Yes or No to the text before the specified time to confirm. You don't get any reply so I messaged twice to be absolutely sure. I found that so frustrating as wasn't sure I was confirmed until I showed up. They really should send an acknowledgement

Got my notification for Beaumont tomorrow replied with yes am slightly worried as it's the astra injection and I have significant lower leg vein issues in both legs but also have multiple health issues which is why I'm being offered the vaccine in my late 30s.

I too got a text to go tomorrow. Was totally surprised as was not expecting it . Replied to text to say YES but got no reply which seems normal. I have had friends in Scotland who have similar leg vein issues and other conditions and they got astra and were fine. Just a sore arm and 24 hour flu like symptoms but nothing bad. So don't be nervous its a safe vaccine and will give the protection you need . Good luck tomorrow.

2 Pfizer for me. Tired for about 12 hours after the second one otherwise perfect.

mRNA vaccines are a seriously exciting prospect.

It is but they have a two shot trial going as well. Data in summer I think.

Oh did not know that. Every day a learning day

Yup, They decided to do a 2 shot trial from November to January. I was part of that trial, 50% chance of vaccine or a shot of saline.

I've been unblinded now, I officially had the 2 vaccine shots.

At the last bloodtest they thought that the 1 shot trial is good enough that regulators will use that instead of the 2 shot trial.

Anyway I've not had covid so its works :pac:

Wonder how many charities got jabs?

Anyone know the current turnaround period for the astrazeneca jab I've been offered one on Tuesday but heard in passing recently 3 months between 1 and 2, that can't be right, can it?

clog

I had it on Wednesday in the Aviva. Was told it would be 12 weeks until the second one.

Yep. 12 weeks between the doses.

Very well organised this morning at Beaumont. Was in and out in one hour and that included 15 mins sitting in recovery area and 15 hanging around after.
Will get a text to go back in 12 weeks for second dose. Did not even feel the needle go in. Very friendly nurses was a jolly atmosphere. When you go to recovery room they offer you a bottle of water and a badge which says you have had your vaccine.

Yep 12 weeks.

Something interesting from the US now is if you come to the US and have taken an FDA approved vaccine, you’re restrictions /entry requirements will be less. Currently AstraZeneca has not been approved. Given I have to travel a lot to the US, if it’s not been approved by the second vaccination, I’ll have no choice but to opt out of it and do the Johnson and Johnson one instead. Will be interesting especially as Dr Fauci stated yesterday that the US won’t need it.

I've had first and second Moderna vaccine.

By the time regular travel to the US is happening again, AZ will be approved or on the list (as well as Sputink and Sinopharm/Vac). You also won't get a choice in vaccines, it'll be whatever is available for you on the day, and otherwise, back to the end of the queue.

I’ve had the first AZ one, but like I said if it’s not approved in the US I won’t be taking the second. They’ve got 10 weeks anyways, so we shall see. There’s no point in getting the second as I would have to get the J&J or other US approved one afterwards. So I’d be wasting it.

I'm pretty certain the FDA will accept AZ given the announcements made so far, and it would unnecessarily cause friction with the UK (and yes, the UK are the source of a lot of their own misfortune worldwide at the moment, but there is still a good relationship there away from the bluster). It also makes sense for you to finish the vaccine course and get the coverage you can get from COVID, if another vaccine is needed down the line, it will be a good while off yet, and certainly longer than the 12 week time frame between doses.

Yes - AZ second jab

Getting J&J on Wednesday coming. One shot. Happy I don’t have to have two. Will let you know how it goes.

A parent has had both doses of Pfizer. Zero side effects. Brother had AZ and had some soreness at the site of the injection that evening but that was it.
