Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
I had my first AstraZenica jab today. I had to wait 15 minutes afterwards before I was allowed homeThey gave me a two page information sheet with possible side effects and a request to send details of any side effects I experience to the TGA and the web address and phone number of who to advise.
I also received a card which folds in two with the information about my jab and space for the next jab as well as space for the flu vaccine to be entered. I presume this will form part of my Covid certificate.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
Despite the UK's recent slowdown in vaccinations it seems that the target for vaccinating the over-50's has been reached a few days earlier than expected, meaning that over-40's are to be offered their jabs starting tomorrow (Tuesday 13th April) with those in their late 40's expected to be offered vaccination first according to this morning's Times.Their report goes on to say:
'... supplies are expected to pick up again later this month and health chiefs are now more optimistic that this will allow the vaccination programme to move on to the second phase.
Supply constraints mean that not everyone in their forties is likely to be invited at once in what is described as “easing into rather than charging into” the next stage.'
There's also some talk of the possibility of encouraging regular travellers such as hauliers, diplomats and footballers the vaccination.

Yes I know it's subscription-only and that you might not be able to access the full thing but there is a free trial for those interested, otherwise what I've posted above gives the general idea.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
This is my arm after my second AZ jab last Saturday. It's bruised as you can see & aches a lot. I never had this reaction with the first jab - I wonder why this is?

I hope your arm feels better soon, have you tried ice in a tea towel...
I have my ice pack in the freezer ready and waiting for Thursday when I have my second vaccination.
I will also make sure my arm hangs limp as instructed by a Doctor I know and to give my arm a good massage after the vaccination .
