Has your 12-15 had the jab yet?

[Choccymumma]

Just wondering how they managed? My son is due his 2 days before mock gcses and really hoping side effects are none to little. I've seen some hubs are doing this age so I may try to arenage this instead.

Nope not even a sniff of it yet. His school are saying they’ve been told it will be mid November at the soonest. I’m thinking of taking him to a drop in vaccination centre, channel 4 news this evening said this is now allowed.

Ooh thats good to know, thanks.

Quick look says they are not eligible to book online. Assuming they can't just turn up either?

After half term here

My 13 year old has had his at school today. His arm is a tiny bit swollen but he seems ok in himself so far.

Yes my 12 year old dd had a couple of weeks ago at school.

Yes and he was (probably) unwell with it. He MAY have been swinging the lead, but I think he was actually very tired and achy the first day. The second day he was much better. Make sure he doesn't get it in his writing arm!

My Y11 had it last week. He was quite I'll the day after and slept a lot of the day. He NEVER sleeps in the day so I knew he wasn't well. Back in the day after.

Ill obviously, not I'll

12yo ds had it last week. No problems just a bit of a sore arm the next day.

My 15 year old ds had it a couple of weeks ago. We're in Scotland so it was at a vaccination centre. Had a sore arm for a couple of days

Mine had it quite a few weeks ago now.

He had a sore arm for a couple of days but apart from that was completely fine.

Dd 14 had it a few weeks ago sore arm for a day

Yes a couple of weeks ago, both just had a sore arm.

Yes DS 12 had it last week. Not even a sore arm! Was absolutely fine.

Yes, both dd 14 and ds 13

Just a sore arm. No issues!

I used a drop in here. They were happy to vaccinate my ds :) He did have an appointment but I thought I would just chance it as the drop in was earlier.

Yes 3 weeks ago, has already been exposed to covid in household since and he didn’t catch it! Big thumbs up for vaccination! He did complain of a sore arm for one day or so though.

My 13 year old had hers last week. Slightly sore arm in the evening, but otherwise fine.

Yes, slightly sore arm but no other side effects.

Yes. Slight headache that evening, but went with one dose of paracetamol. I’m not even sure if it wasn’t psychological as he was almost waiting for something to happen .

12 year old DS is having his mid November, although DH was saying he read earlier that parents will be able to book online to take their children earlier if they want to? With the hope lots of children will go during half term I think

Yes. Dd1 had it a few weeks ago, just days before her 13th birthday! No side effects apart from a sore arm for a couple of days.

15 yo had the jab 2 weeks ago in a walk-in centre. Sore arm and feeling a bit tired for 48hrs afterwards. So glad we chose to have them jabbed when we did, there's an outbreak in the school now
