That’s great news you have had your vaccine, I think it’s wonderful how quick they are getting through people 🤩

What I found surprising was that the govt let the NHS deal with it rather than give the contract and millions of pounds to one of their mates. Its a pity that they didn't do the same for PPE distribution, and track and trace.

Did you get the jab because of your Fibro. Trying to see if it is worth asking my GP or not to see if I was missed off

Unfortunately fibro alone isn’t enough to be bumped up the vaccination list. Some areas are getting through the age groups pretty quickly so hopefully you will get yours soon x

Hey I had the Oxford one approximately three weeks ago- I slept like a baby that evening and then had a temp and flu like feeling the next day for literally a day- apart from a achey/heavy arm which is only now feeling normal I have no regrets- I am 55 and am a key worker and I am so happy to have had the vaccine so I can safely carry out work duties - and I look forward to being able to hug my grandchildren - 2nd jab due in April

Had mine last Thursday, I'm 49 for a few more days 🙊 had the Pfizer one. Had sore arm for a day, then a fibro flare for a few days. But fingers crossed, worth it! No date for 2nd dose though

I had the AZ in January. About 12 hours later I awoke with teeth chattering chills. Following morning headache & sinus pain, very tired & painful arm. It was very like a sudden dose of flu.

On the 3rd day all gone & back to where I was before. The aches & bruised arm lasted about 3 weeks. I thought it was worth it & a lot better than getting the virus.
