On 19 February, I received my first shot of the Fizer Corona vaccine, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-pfizer-biontech-vaccine-for-covid-19/information-for-uk-recipients-on-pfizerbiontech-covid-19-vaccine#side-effects.
I am pleased to report that thus far I have experienced no side effects and I would strongly encourage anyone who remains unsure about being vaccinated, to take the plunge, do I mean jab! When offered the opportunity.
I look forward to sipping pints in a pub garden once more with friends, hopefully in the near future!
My only complaint is that no one offered me a piece of cake or a nice cup of tea following my vaccination. I shall be writing a strongly worded letter of complaint to Matthew Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health about that! I feel sure that, having received my letter, he will immediately order all vaccination centres to stock up with assorted cakes and a good variety of teas to cater for all tastes!
Good news, Kevin. I had mine about 3 weeks ago. Also the Phizer one. Just got to wait for the second now.
Thanks, Vivienne. I’m pleased to hear that you also have been vaccinated. All the best. Kevin
Great news Kevin… I’d be wanting a can of beer to settle the nerves… !!
Thanks Ivor. A can of cold beer sounds like an excellent suggestion. However I don’t think that beer and cake mix well together! All the best. Kevin
Don’t relax your precautions until 3 weeks after your second jab, Kevin.
Thanks Chris. You mean I shouldn’t have hosted that wild tarts and vicars party at my home yesterday evening! Seriously, I’m sure you are right. All the best. Kevin
LOL
Good to hear Kevin! I had a jab on the 10th Feb and my wife had hers today – both Oxford/AZ which is more than plenty good enough (I’m a scientist, read the peer reviewed stuff, ignore the online bollocks, and dickheads in the EU) – both my daughters (frontline NHS) are heading for their 2nd dose of the Pfizer jab in a couple of weeks – they’ve had no side-effects at all. All the best, Eric.
Thanks for your comments, Eric. I’m glad that you, your wife and daughters have all had the vaccine. Unfortunately there is, as you say, a lot of rubbish online. I just stick to reading the NHS material, which is what I urge others to do when they express concerns about the vaccines. Of course all medications have potential side effects. There is not a single medication which does not. However the overwhelming majority of people vaccinated will have no side effects, or very mild ones, and a bit of an ache in my right arm (which has now almost disappeared) is much better than contracting Corona. All the best. Kevin
I am glad to hear you’ve had the vaccination and also that you have had no side effects, Kevin. Good news, indeed.
Thank you Robbie. Best wishes. Kevin
