I think a lot of people thought that until it hit Italy. My wife is a natural worrier so she was glad to be vindicated and ahead of the curve this time when it came to covid.. ? Dont forget Ebola that was supposed to come over here to. The press cry wolf so much its easy to see why people thought like that. My stupidest moment has be thinking i was ok to carry on going to work early days with no masks or distancing due to not reading the "at risk" category until a week later. Thus far i have dodged it and its been 2 weeks since my first vaccine. Edited March 10, 2021 by quote the raven Quote
Paid Members Slapnut Posted March 12, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 12, 2021 Got my first dose of the Oxford yesterday and it’s knocked me for six. I’m aching all over, got a temperature, feel both hot and cold, and my blood sugars are dangerously high. Still, one step closer to something resembling normality! Quote

My mum had the same reaction (except the blood sugar), it lasted 24 hours & then she was back to normal. Hopefully it’ll pass quickly for you too. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 12, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 12, 2021 Same reaction from ex-mother-in-law on the Oxford one, she was alright in a day. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Got my first vaccine booked for next week. A McDonalds will follow. Quote

Mine booked too but there is no McDonalds here so I'll be "treating" myself to a scrambled tofu and chilli wrap from the cafe opposite afterwards. Hooray. Quote

Had my first jab last week and as seems to be customary, headed straight to McDonalds afterwards. Ordered Pancakes for my wife and they managed to mess the order up and instead give her a Sausage and Egg McMuffin. With no Muffin..... Not a side effect I was expecting. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 12, 2021 Moderators Posted March 12, 2021 I didn't realise I had to plan a post vaccine meal. Good thing I haven't got a booking yet... Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 12, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 12, 2021 McDonald's owe me a commission. Quote
Paid Members Jesse Posted March 12, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 12, 2021 Me & my wife had ours booked at the same place 5 mins apart, so instead of McDonald's I was allowed some healthy watermelon chunks to eat in celebration. Quote

That's doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Quote
deathrey Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I'm so jealous of all you people getting vaccinated. I can't wait to have mine! (Something I never thought I would say) Quote

(Something I never thought I would say) Did you not get a letter because of the gestational diabetes? My wife got a letter and we assume it was because of that but it didn't say on it. It could be another medical condition she has, but one of the other mum's she knows who had gd and has no other conditions got a letter also which is why we deduced it must be that. Quote

(Something I never thought I would say) Really love the positive attitude that you and so many people have had towards the vaccine. It's the main thing that's kept me upbeat about the near future and beating this. Quote

No I didn't I did try ringing the GP and asking in regards to that and my asthma but they said I wasn't eligible yet (my asthma is quite mild in all fairness). Quote
