Since it is no longer required there are smatterings of it returning.

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.

My (now) 80 year old landlord from when I was at Oxford almost 40 years ago got his this week, too. His passion is ringing church bells (change ringing) all over the U.K., and he says it just isn’t the same being alone in a belfry and trying to ring in a pattern with other ringers using zoom. Listeners from outside hear only one bell. He hears eight, but over his iPad. He’s a widower, and he is so lonely.

Thanks for posting the experience. I'm betting I could be a 'sister' of your wife's! lol

I am looking forward to my wife getting her vaccination so that she can go back to grocery shopping. She hardly leaves the house, let alone frequents any businesses. I've been the canon fodder...
