I’m getting my covid vaccine today!

[Nacknick]

Just that - very excited and want to share 😁

I’ve got mine on Monday. I honestly can’t wait!

Yay!

I'm booked in for tomorrow and feeling very grateful and excited!

What a lovely thread, really happy for you OP and everyone else who has had theirs too

Woohoo!
I’m getting mine this afternoon, my Mum had hers yesterday, my Dad’s is a week tomorrow. DH was done about 10 days ago (just a sore arm for a day or two)
So excited!!!!

I had mine on Tuesday (Pfizer)...felt fine that day and only slightly under the weather the next day (aching arm, very tired, mild nausea and a slight headache) but back to normal by yesterday

So exciting. Mine is a week tomorrow and I'm counting down the days

Had mine 5 minutes ago at work. Was supposed to have it at the main hospital tomorrow but found out that they were doing it in the unit I work in. I did not know this and someone else told me! I am only on reception, no need to let me know!!! The info was officially sent around today, so my line manager suggested I had it here so I just cancelled the one for tomorrow. Am actually glad because in the main hospital there are loads of people milling around , whereas in my unit we are being more sensible!

So far (touch wood) ok. I felt a shiver but I am facing sliding doors and a couple of people were standing there chatting so I was getting cold air through!

I had the Oxford one, Astra Zeneca.

I had the Pfizer vaccine last night. Feel ok a bit tired and a tender arm, definitely worth it

Congratulations to everyone getting it or who has it. One step closer.

Lucky you. Some of us are in jobs where we are at risk and can't get it.

What a mean post. Really nasty.

@GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat

I wonder if those reporting side effects could say which vaccine they had, or are the side effects the same for both? Not that I care, I’ll take any!

I've just had first dose of AsteaZenneca today - about 2 hours ago. I have pins and needles in my arm and feel and bit "funny", I don't how to explain it - not a bad feeling, just maybe a little out of it and dizzy?

But anyway, absolutely over the bloody moon!

*Astra Zeneca

6 of us, colleagues had Pfizer on Monday of this week. One had a mild headache the next day and everyone had a sore arm for 36h or so, no other effects. Relieved we’re cracking on with the program.

I had the Oxford AZ last Friday, I got a sore arm that night which lasted a couple of days, and the day after the jab I got chills and felt tired but was fine the next day. Got jab 2 in April

I love reading these and knowing that there is actual vaccine, going into actual arms, right now. Brilliant, congratulations and well done to everyone getting theirs! 🎉

Don't worry about crying earlier OP. Something that could save your life or someone else's is worth being emotional about. Real tears not Matt Hancock's fake ones.

I had my first jab this morning and second one is all booked, just got a sore arm and nothing else so far. I had the Pfizer jab, now looking forward to everyone else having theirs
