What I really struggle with is having to factor Covid and the legislation for it into every single facet of my life. It's becoming second nature, we're ruled by it.
Rightly or wrongly, it's exhausting and such a thief of potential joy.
With regard to the cinema thing, DP has had his first vaccine. We're the same age bar a month, 52 and I haven't been invited yet. fair enough, they'll either get round to me or I'll bite the bullet online. So if I'm still unvaccinated by the time things normalise a bit in whatever form, will he be able to choose coming into the non jab screening with me if he so desires? Least of worries of course, but it crossed my mind.
Also, I did have a severe enough reaction to a measles jab as a small child and thereafter had to take a little blue antihistamine before all future jabs, which I fully understand are a different thing to the Covid vaccine. it was massively downplayed when I was a child, understandably to avoid freaking out about jabs in general and I'm now pretty sanguine about it tbf. DPs vaccine paperwork refers to anaphylaxis, but I don't know if my reaction was THAT severe, and my DM who would know has passed in the last year, my DD is 80 and is likely to be hazy on the details. So do i declare and risk not being able to have the vaccine, or just go fingers crossed with a risk of a reaction that I should have mentioned, which is terribly unfair on the HCPs. Would my doctor be prepared to go back to ancient paper notes from 48 years ago, as I doubt it's all been digitised, to check?
I'm not anti-vax by any means, but if there are reasons to be cautious and not have the jab, am I condemned to never visiting a pub, shop or other venue ever again?
Yes, I'm being dramatic, but it has made me think alot!
