26.8 million people vaccinated thread started 20th March

[Bordois]

So with the release of figures as of Friday 19th March over half the adult population of the UK have had at least 1 vaccination.

The number of jabs given is March was phenomenal and its likely numbers will be lower for the next few weeks but even if its "only" 100-200k a day thats still more lives potentially being saved!

Juliet, this thread is a celebratory one. We are all delighted and excited about the vaccine roll out.

Not long to wait until we get today’s numbers! Excited!

Great numbers!

I love the 2nd doses number! highest ever?

About 35,000 down on last Wednesday’s figures.

I love the 2nd doses number! highest ever?

Yes by quite a way - previous highest daily total for second dose was 132,016.

354 people who have had the vaccine have died.

I have seen no evidence any of them died of the vaccine, though; it doesn't cause cancer to kill you for instance, as far as I know.

Mind you, from another board, I can offer something found in The Guardian (but not a link drat it) re reported AstraZeneca side-effects:

"There have been huge numbers of immediate side-effects such as pain, nausea, fatigue, headache and fever, with other notable reports including palpitations (1,318), “feeling jittery” (10), “screaming” (4), chilblains (10), alcohol poisoning (2), libido increased (1), libido decreased (1), and one remarkable report of a pregnancy following vaccination."

Some people really will report anything at all that goes wrong (or in the last instance, perhaps right?) and attribute it to the vaccine.

Maybe Hugo can take it easy in April 🤣

😂😂😂

My aunt is one of those people, she’s a total hypochondriac - she was reporting her myriad symptoms within hours of the jab 🙄

Can I just say that despite being terrified this morning (due to misinformation ) I had my jab this morning. yes I had a wobble and the ladies were so lovely and kind. In short I now feel bloody amazing.

Congratulations. The important thing is though...

Did you get a sticker?

Glad t hear that passengers!

Bravo to you, passengers. Keep right on feeling well!

@Bordois :) my thread is gone mental, now we also want Firemen and many other things! apparently many people have received stickers and tea and chocolates!

P's @Fifthtimelucky. so jealous. ..All I got at my centre was an man turning up for his appointment then walking out saying he didn't believe in it.

@Bordois I did indeed get a sticker..no lolly sadly. DH got his on Saturday and has refused to take it off!

Before or after he'd been jabbed, passengers? Apparently losing one's nerve at the last moment does happen; a friend of mine too reported someone as having walked out while my friend was getting his first dose.

He had no jab...apparently people just book to come in and say they are disbelievers

Silly prannets.

Look at those figures - NI has just had the first day that second doses have exceeded first doses! Fantastic news, some of our most vulnerable people are now as protected as they can be

@CaveMum

About 35,000 down on last Wednesday’s figures.

But 200,000 up on the Wednesday before.

@passengers

P's *@Fifthtimelucky*. so jealous. ..All I got at my centre was an man turning up for his appointment then walking out saying he didn't believe in it.

What on earth was the point in him turning up I wonder!

@Fifthtimelucky prove his point I guess. I however am sadly excited that tomorrow's figures include me!

I didn't have any side effects from my first... missed a trick there. Just had the text asking me to book for my second and rather fancy some uninterrupted time in bed with a hot water bottle and a cuppa.....

How odd! I suppose some people really do have nothing better to do!

Great numbers today - looking forward to the official total at 4!
