In addition they don't have a clue on how long you will be protected, one month, one year, forever? Not sure how many remember the polio vaccine, it was mandated and polio was defeated. Since it is no longer required there are smatterings of it returning.

Wife and I had our Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine injections in UK yesterday evening.

For a first day mass programme roll out, all was well run. We were given a time for our injections, (5pm.) and told to arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before.
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!:icon_wink:

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.
