Vaccination priority groups

My youngest daughter is 32 with a medical issue. She had her first jab 3 weeks ago, it was AZ.  She suffered the usual mild side effects for a couple of days but is so grateful to have had the jab.

Her husband is 31 and he had his jab before her with only slight side effects.

Well, we'll see what transpires.  I do, honestly, hope that everyone is sensible, and that we can get out of this dreadful with the minimum of disruption.

I'd really love to see my only daughter, and her children, again - I haven't seen them since May 2020.

OH and me had our 2nd AZ jabs this morning, 9 weeks since our first, no side effects from the first and so far none from our second.

Both jabs at our local health centre, and today they had 3 nurses doing jabs, excellent service. Fingers crossed that my daughter will be having her first one soon.

I had my second AZ jab on Tuesday, five weeks after the first. No reaction apart  from feeling rather tired the day after the first jab, I have had no problems at all.

Well done Gadget   Bee candle flame + jebber etc

I feel.more reassured.now more & more of.my friends and acquaintances are having their vaccines ..even people who were once reluctant .

My social life has only improved marginally . my personal choice is to avoid those who have not had it even if for valid . medical reasons unless they have actually had Covid itself

I know several people who did contract the virus In Leicestershire and Wales and recovered at different rates ...none have had permanent lasting effects luckily .

I don't know anyone personally who had bad effects from either of the vaccines in Britain .

Friends and family abroad have been  careful & stayed safe too .

When I have had second vaccine in 3 weeks  I will start to go out again...taking busses and seeing younger people but not hugging yet  .I miss human contact.

With weather improving I'm starting to see friends & even a mobile hairdresser
Outdoor s & going for walks .I wear a face shield as it steams up less but it makes communication hard I'm.not sure if removing it, going a step back and shouting is better .

You are wise to be cautious.

Some people think they are safe as soon as they have had the second jab.
It takes two to three weeks after the second vaccination for immunity to kick properly.

My husband had his 2nd jag last Saturday and I get my one tomorrow - around 11 weeks after the 1st one.

No problems with us although my daughter felt unwell for a few days after her 1st jag with flu like symptoms. Cleared up quickly though. She has underlying health conditions including a compromised immune system. Says she will definitely go for her 2nd one.

Same as you brigidmac we are all going to take things very slowly as we come out of lockdown. No rush to do anything but I do miss but I do miss the hugs.

Take care everyone,

Dorrie
