This is Boots Opticians. Perhaps others are not open.
I can and my optician is open but I don't wish to be confined in a small space with someone who has been in close contact with others . I feel it is too high risk . I have been isolating since last March and won't squander that now with a vaccine so close.

Zuleika, apologies to you. Yes, I did get a bit cross with you and again I sincerely apologise.
As I explained (in the wrong way) I've always prided myself on not involving medics or panicking (unless an emergency situation arises which is a different kettle of fish).
Thanks for your comments re Chemists stocking the Yellow Cards too. I didn't know that. Now, I've three ways to let them know.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
My first post so hopefully it appears!I had the AZ jab on Monday and the nurse said there was more of a reaction to the AZ rather than the Pfizer jab and that women are more affected than men apparently. The side effects are generally minor with usually headache, aches and pains etc. I had a couple of days feeling a bit grotty with a headache and feeling a bit fluy but things were sorted with some paracetamols. Spent the day languishing rather fetchingly on the settee being supplied with sustenance

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
Pesta ,apology accepted .I know that the Pfizer vaccine is not recommended for people who have suffered allergies which is why I asked which one you’d had .
I do think such that you experienced around your nose and eyes ought to be reported for the good of others . It’s not making a fuss believe me .

You'd be wise to be patient for a little while longer.

I like ladies who are fetching.
Perhaps you can fetch me a rum and coke!

Yes, I have every intention of logging my reactions as I think it's important - not for me, but for the powers that be who make the vaccines.
As with any medicine, reactions (whether major or minor) are important and need logging and recording so they can be listed on the leaflets enclosed with any medicine.
That way someone can (hopefully) decide whether to take them or not.
BTW I was petrified I would receive the Pfizer one, as that seemed more 'allergenic' than the Oxford one.
Think they call it sod's law

welcome..A 'reaction' is a good reason for a little self pampering I would say
as long as it isn't too bad or like poor Twink and Pesta 
I have to take my dog out, she is eccentric and won't pee or poo in the garden, I have to go out in public so I am hoping I don't have a bad reaction assuming the snow doesn't prevent my getting to the GP for the vaccination, life is one big worry at the moment, I may take to my bed till spring

I rang my doctors informing them of this and they asked if l had ever gone into anaphylactic shock after something. l said, l hadn’t and they said it would be ok to have the vaccination.
Again, l repeated my concern about my allergies to the nurse who was going to give me the injection. She showed me the list of things the Pfizer vaccination contained and as far as l knew, l had never had a reaction to milk, salt, sugar or Lipids.
I also mentioned that l had been chesty and wheezy lately but they didn’t seem bothered about that either!
I had it done two weeks ago and have had absolutely no reaction or after affects at all and l thought l would.
PS... To make you laugh....... Social media users have claimed the presence of lipid nanoparticles in a COVID-19 vaccine means it could contain small robots or computers. This is false - these nanoparticles are tiny lipid droplets that transport and protect the vaccine component.
