Report, fill in forms, sign to agree to injection, then after another short wait, vaccinated, and all within (bar 7 minutes) of our alloted time.
Most impressed.
You then went too a monitoring area for a 15 minute wait in case of any immediate reaction, which there wasn't, so drove home. Never saw anyone have reaction.

5 hours after my injection I started to get a cold sweat, and had a complete loss of nearly all my energy. Went to bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Feel fine this morning, but still a little lethargic, but no other symtoms, so not a problem.
No other reactions, no lumps or inflamation around injection site.

Wife has had no reaction whatsoever, which was to be expected, as no vaccine or virus in its right mind, would have the balls to upset her in the first place!

21 days to booster jab, then after 7 more days, we should have the 90-95% immunity. 28 days in total from first jab.

After nursing homes, carers etc. us over 80's are the first in line, with the age groups working down, plus those with degrees of vulnerability, but with a UK population of over 68,000,000 it is a really major operation!

Keep well.

I cannot tell you how much we appreciated this clear answer to what we have been hoping for. We two are the same age as you and I truly understand the heightened risk. I shared this post on Facebook and many of our friends there thanked you as well. It is so good to get first hand information. Please continue to share with us.
