Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

Had my second coronavirus vaccination earlier today and so far nothing more than a slightly sore arm. The first vaccination went alright so I am hoping this one will be the same. This time it was the Pfizer vaccine, the same as last time.

The 10-minute appointment slots seemed to work OK and all was well-organised at the surgery so done and dusted in about 25 minutes, 15 minutes of this was the required time sitting waiting to ensure there were no problems, before allowing me to leave.

That’s good to know Baz, hope the next few days go well fo you too.

There can’t be many more Over50s left to vaccinate now...

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

Thanks Mags, OK this morning other than a sore, aching arm but that happened last time too.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

30hrs on and no probs other than slight bruising around the puncture site for both of us. No soreness to report either.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

We are hearing on the news every day about how bad the virus is in India.

Last night a friend of mine phoned, who is an Indian lady but has been in England for many years. Her children and grandchildren were born here.
However, she still has family in India and she said she has lost 7 of her relatives in one week recently, because of how bad the Covid is.

Isn't that awful. Imagine losting 7 relatives in a week.
I don't know if they were vaccinated or not.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

We don’t have such large families do we so it’s unlikely we would lose seven relatives in a week ?
Quite dreadful is the situation there and can’t think the deceased would have been vaccinated when we’re led to believe that symptoms are not severe should you be unfortunate enough to have picked the virus up before the vaccine kicks in ....so to speak ?

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

My sister is now suffering with Vertigo as is another lady l know. When l suggested could it be to do with their recent second Covid vaccinations, both have said they have had Vertigo before and don’t think it’s to do with vaccination.
Mmmn, the jury is out on this one.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

I agree, Zuleiker.
I might be speaking to her on Friday, so I will ask if she knows whether those people had been vaccinated or not. I'd be interested to know.
I know she herself has had both jabs, so has her husband, but they are in UK.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

Don't forget that a few generations ago, we used to have large families for the same reason that Indians and other countries do now: basically, insurance against the frequent loss of lives due to poor sanitary and other conditions.

It is also just possible that we in this country might one day find ourselves back in those conditions once again!
