OT some of you already know..
Glad y'all are getting shots!
I got my first dose of Pfizer yesterday, the first day I qualify (yay!). I
took the day off and drove 1.5hs, two counties away, to an area with
appointments available. Some areas in California have zero slots open,
while in others you can choose your spot in 15' increments. Let's
politicize all the things I guess, yikes.
No side effects other than feeling tired last night, of course I was so
excited about finally getting the vaccine the night before that I barely
slept. The scale of the scientific achievement this represents is amazing.
It makes me extremely sad that some people would rather not participate.

anticipate some more reports coming in here from far and wide -

It is a great relief.. so in two weeks I can get my regular check-up

Question: Do y'all usually have a reaction to the flu shot?
I kind of had a thought that maybe people who feel "flu like symptoms" a day or
so after getting the flu shot would be more prone to having a reaction to the
Covid vaccine.
I've never had a reaction to the flu shot, and I had none to the Covid vaccine
(either shot).
So, I'm kind of wondering about others reaction to the Covid vaccine in relation
to their reaction to the flu shot. Was it the same or did you have a reaction to
one and not the other?

Second jab is rough. The soreness is not from arm tension, it’s from your
still-energetic immune system mobilizing. That’s good!
I had the same symptoms without the fever after jab 2. They’re very common,
particularly in younger folks than you.

I've seen a couple of different reports on the AZ vaccine. One suggesting the
risk of clots is linked to low blood platelet counts so recipients should have a
CBC/FBC blood test before receiving the AZ vaccine.
I saw another report suggesting maybe not using the AZ vaccine for those under
45 years of age.
I didn't look too closely at them because I'm older than that & because I'd
already had the two Pfizer shots before I saw those news reports.
But it seems like the AZ vaccine is "safe" if care is taken in which patients
it's administered to.

Nope, it will be several months between shots up here because they want to get
first shots to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. I'm OK with
this, what with living in the North American hot spot at the moment.
I'm not sure where I'll be at, as the powers that be seem insistent on pulling
the AZ vaccine off the market.

In the Netherlands they halted AZ shots for everyone except 60-64 by
the GP. That's my group and the AZ shot was promised from February
1st. No date yet. Given all the bad news about AZ I would much prefer
one of the others. Absolutely no way to get any (other) brand unless
endorsed by the bureaucrats. Unused (prepared) shots are dumped in the
bin because rules are rules. I heard you can get one in Bulgaria.
Feels like living behind the iron curtain or inside a Monty Python sketch...
I wonder what happens if I refuse the AZ shot. Probably nothing and
the only option left is hoping I'll survive the real infection.

Just got the date for my first shot: next Thursday. Comes a bit sudden
and unexpected but Michael insisted I try once more to get through on
this chronically overloaded online system they're using here to make
those dates and well... bingo...
Won't be sleeping well the next nights, as my relation to doctors of all
kinds can best be compared to that of the devil to holy water or
vampires to garlic. Plus we're snowed under with work and I can't afford
to spend days with chills and fever.
Oh, and it'll be ZA. So much for a relaxed Easter sunday.

So, today's been the day. All went fine. If only they hadn't turned the
hall into a succession of maize mazes to accomodate a queue that wasn't
there and which made all ways about 5 times as long as they should have
been. My back hates standing.
No side effects so far. No chill, no fever. We'll see. Fingers crossed.
Back to work.

Which one did you get? the second jab is the fever and chill time but
from all accounts men have had fewer problems than we gals.
first shot even for me was jsut minorly sore arm , headache and extra
sleepiness. But second shot was annoyingly painful and I did get the
fever and chills
Only for a day or two.. ultimately not bad.
HOpe you have it easy - the maize sounds awful - My legs hate standing...

Astra Zeneca. They got loads of that now and us over 60s could apply to
be vaccined well ahead of our planned time. I wasn't exactly
enthousiastic but Michael gently nudged me (at least that's what he
calls it).

They had enormous queues on the first two days and people were even
standing outside in the street for half a mile. Wouldn't have made it
under those conditions.
I'd much prefer the American drive-through system, but we're meant to
walk and cycle everywhere.
Well, what's done is done and let's hope for the best.

I've had my first AZ and felt fine for the first 12 hours or so - then had fluey feeling, inc an hour of chills, then slept and in the morning was okay, fine later that day. No arm pain at all.
The incidence of fatal blood clotting is approx 1 in a million. The incidence of blood clotting from taking the birth control pill (say) is 1 in 1000. Too low to be worried about it.

So it may have been a good idea to have done everything today that was
originally scheduled for tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.
