I don't know when I'm getting it, it seems that every injection center is following different rule subsets, and though I'm qualified in some places I'm not in others. Haven't been able to find an opening yet.

well keep on at it. If I had the opportunity I would be ringing every 5 minutes until they gave up and gave me the jab. Laughing

I am known as a human hammer though. Mad

stubborn and determined as a mule.

In another few weeks I think the age requirement will drop down to bracket me, so I won't have to use the educator's bracket that so many places don't seem to know about.

by Mrs Figg Wed Mar 17, 2021 5:59 pm

Halfy if you can use the educator category now, use it now! don't wait weeks if you don't have to. That is my advice.

by halfwise Wed Mar 17, 2021 6:12 pm

yeah, but every place I find that's open for it has no vacancies.

by Mrs Figg Wed Mar 17, 2021 6:51 pm

is there any way you can be 'pinged' when they have a vacancy? its a question of right time right place and masses of patience.

by halfwise Wed Mar 17, 2021 9:42 pm

That's a whole new level of sophistication we ain't got.

by Mrs Figg Thu Mar 18, 2021 12:02 am

well keep on at it until they give you one.

{{ Well 24 hrs later and arm is still still bit sore, kind of tight feeling like Az said like its been put in a vice. But nothing terrible. Had some very, very mild flu like symptoms through the night, few night shivers and sweats, but nothing extreme. And its made me a bit tired. But so far so good! }}

by Mrs Figg Thu Mar 18, 2021 4:42 pm

my brother was the same but he had a headache for a day as well. Nothing too bad though with a bit of paracetamol.

Glad your ok Petty sunny

Got my first jab a couple hours ago, feeling nothing. Next one in a month.

by halfwise Fri Apr 09, 2021 12:39 am

BTW Figgs - you're pushing it, have you gotten it?

by halfwise Fri Apr 09, 2021 12:52 pm

12 hours on from the Moderna shot, nothing more than highly localized stiffness. Thought I'd have a bigger reaction, not sure whether to be alarmed or relieved.

by Mrs Figg Fri Apr 09, 2021 1:50 pm

The Moderna jab is supposed to be ok as regards after effects, like the Pfizer one. Its AZ that gives people the 'in bed for a week' thing. Talking of which I wont be getting AZ because Italy has said those under 60 cant have it, so thats me, under 60.
I am relieved in a way because I am pretty sure the AZ jab would have given me a bad cold afterwards. Not bothered about the blood clot thing because its 1 in a million chance. We will get the Johnson & Johnson mono-dose or Pfizer/Moderna, but Sputnik is fine by me.

Mad

and no I haven't been offered a jab yet, they are still doing the 70 year olds and the 80 year olds and the extremely vulnerable groups.

Banghead

its gonna take a while, maybe next month Banghead

its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow!

Almost worth travel home to Merry Ole' though I suppose you're not in their docket.

by Lancebloke Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:43 pm

I haven't been offered mine yet. Bit of a slow down to catch up on 2nd doses.

the only problem with that is quarantine afterwards and being stuck in a metal tube for 3 hours then stuck in another metal tube for 3 hours after that. Too much metal tubing going on.

by halfwise Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:57 pm

And you get stuck WITH a metal tube in between.
