I am having it at home, I must stand on the doorstep with my sleeve rolled up and wearing a mask.
Being classified as high risk is weird.
Being a little 'twitchy' about so many scammers at the mo, plus the Covid testing scams doing the rounds too, if I didn't know the nurse, that might make me a little nervous if a total stranger wearing a mask came and jabbed a needle in my arm.

Really,?
You have a call from the surgery saying someone is coming this afternoon.
They arrive, fully shielded and knowing your name address and NHS Number.
They have an NHS Badge.
Paranoia rules.

Good luck Dongle.
Let us know how it goes.

it takes a number of days for the vaccination to create antibodies so if you are incubating a cold or flu when you have the vaccination you will still get the infection but it won't be caused by the vaccination .The worst thing I ever get with the vaccination is a sore arm but I find if I give my arm a good massage straight after the injection it seems to lessen the chance of my arm being sore and if it is an ice pack helps.
