Brilliant Kate.
Nothing to be nervous about, honest.
The jabs are already ready for you, I suppose it depends on what stock they have.

Job well done.
Our surgery are organised so brilliantly, they have a large marquee outside for the 15 minute wait, nurse keeping an eye on it whilst checking people into the surgery at the door.

UK preparing for Covid-19 revaccination programme this year

Britain is preparing for a revaccination programme against Covid-19, likely to run later this year and consist of a single booster dose, the government said in its road map to end coronavirus restrictions.

"The government is planning for a revaccination campaign, which is likely to run later this year in autumn or winter," the document said.

"Any revaccination is likely to consist of a single 'booster' dose of a Covid-19 vaccine: the ideal booster may be a new vaccine specifically designed against a variant form of the virus."

Yeah I get my Pfizer jab tomorrow providing they don’t cancel again ( it was scheduled for last Tuesday) ..

Just dreading having a reaction .. a couple of people have apparently had shingles after the jab and I was in hospital for 5 days a few years ago with shingles after an allergic reaction and it was absolutely dreadful.

Well, I certainly hope it goes well for your, Zizu. I'm a bit nervous cause it's been a while since I had a vaccine, but I'm sure I’ll be fine.

Let us know how it goes

You will hopefully feel a little more reassured once you've had the jab. Let us know how you get on

What are the overall findings?

The Israeli study found an 85 per cent reduction in symptomatic Covid-19 within 15 to 28 days with an overall reduction of infections, including asymptomatic cases detected by testing, of 75 per cent.

One dose of vaccine against Covid-19 in Scotland has cut hospital admissions by more than 85 per cent, according to the first data published on the impact of the UK programme. By the fourth week after receiving the initial dose, the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines had reduced risk of hospitalisation by up to 85 per cent and 94 per cent respectively.

LIVE on Sky News this morning -


Matt Hancock was asked why there were only 116,000 vaccines administered yesterday when the average figure of late has been 600,000 !!

He said it’s going to be a ‘quieter’ week but we should have some ‘bumper’ figures in the coming weeks ..

It sounds like there is/was a shortage of vaccines as was muted in the media and would explain why my vaccine was cancelled last week and delayed until tonight ..

i think half the problem is that vaccine centres are not sticking with the plan and vaccinating the most vulnerable as a priority and have been vaccinating anyone to get their numbers up, hence there will be a shortage against the planned target

Default Light at the end of the tunnel - Covid [vaccine news]
Well I’m back from the hospital.. had my first Pfizer jab about three hours ago and no ill effects as yet ... initial stinging in my arm for a short while as I sat in the 15 minute waiting area .

I’ve got a bit of a dull headache but that could be down to tension.

I’ve had a stressful day then got increasingly anxious as the vaccine appointment got closer ... got stuck in a flaming traffic jam going there .. then the petrol warning light came on on the motorway.... they even queried why I had been offered it being healthy and under 65 so my wife had to explain the situation

Scary moment though as I thought they were gonna refuse me .. ( remember it had already been cancelled last week ) !

Oh well I should be fairly well protected in three weeks ... sadly the pupils ALL return in 12 days ...
