If you just had your booster...

Did they ask you many questions this time? The first two times they asked me about whether I was pregnant and lots of other things but this time they only asked me about blood-thinning medication and whether I'd had a previous allergic reaction to the coronavirus vaccination. I wonder if I now seem to old to possibly be pregnant?

They asked what vaccine I had previously.
That was it really.

friedeggandsauce · 14/12/2021 18:36

They asked me all those questions!!

Oh right, good to know. I'm a bit sensitive about it because the first time the guy was laughing when he asked if I could be pregnant and I've been dealing with accepting I'll never have kids so I had a bruised ego and hurt feelings to boot!

They asked me if I could be pregnant. I'm 49 with no womb so it would be a bloody miracle if I was! Tells me they can't see much of your NHS record. Did ask me about blood thinners and any reactions after the last two jabs too.

Bells3032 · 14/12/2021 18:38

They asked me about blood thinning meds and am I pregnant. That's it. They knew which one I had as it was in the system

Thegreencup · 14/12/2021 18:40

They asked what vaccine I'd had first time around. They seemed to be working on the assumption that I hadn't dropped dead after the last two so were fine to crack on with this one.

MissAmbrosia · 14/12/2021 18:41

Mine asked me if I was on any medication and when I said no, asked me if I was sure. Well yes. And then I wondered whether she thought I looked like I needed some

StrawberrySquash · 14/12/2021 18:41

There was a list of about a dozen questions posted on the screen that he asked me to read when checking in.

Campervan69 · 14/12/2021 18:42

They asked me everything and I'm 52. Don't fancy being pregnant now.

I was really happy though, got a text last night telling me I was eligible and managed to get an 11am booking round the corner from my home. No queues. Very efficient.

ChequerBoard · 14/12/2021 18:42

All those questions were on an E-form that I filled in beforehand.

I had to take a screenshot of the final stage of the firm to prove I had completed it and show that screen shot to the vaccine administrator.

Frogsonglue · 14/12/2021 18:42

No they didn't ask me all the questions this time, and they only asked for them once as opposed to three or four times. It was much quicker and easier!

feellikeanalien · 14/12/2021 18:43

They asked if I was on any medication and asked to see my card for my first two vaccines. They also asked about allergies.

Fallagain · 14/12/2021 18:47

They asked loads of questions about 12 on the form including had I had lip fillers in the previous 14 days. Not that’s lip fillers are me anyway but who knew this was an issue.

Fifilafrog · 14/12/2021 18:59

Not a single question! Apart from my name and date of birth 🤷🏻‍♀️

CovidCurious · 14/12/2021 19:00

I don't remember them asking me anything - but it was at my GP surgery so maybe they had pre-checked all the info.

ponkydonkey · 14/12/2021 19:02

I'm 50 and done with kid thing.., but my periods stopped for 4 months after normal vax

So maybe that's why the asked you?

rainrainraincamedowndowndown · 14/12/2021 19:02

Yes, same as last time.

RuthsRedDress · 14/12/2021 19:04

Never asked me anything, didn't even let me sit down, just jabbed me and moved on

DobbyTheHouseElk · 14/12/2021 19:04

They didn’t ask if I was pregnant. I clearly look ancient.

They asked if I’d had covid recently, any allergies, had any vaccinations recently. Did I react to the previous vaccine.

Told me it could cause a heart problem in young men. I’m definitely neither young or male.

frozendaisy · 14/12/2021 19:09

Yep just blood thinning and reactions.

I assume if you were pregnant or whatever you would mention it yourself.

LizzieSiddal · 14/12/2021 19:11

First and third vaccines lots of questions, including could you be pregnant (I’m 55🤣)

Second vaccine only my name and DOB.

Fuzzysocksies · 14/12/2021 19:24

Asked me nothing except if I was okay with needles or not, just scrolled through my info on the screen (which I assume had my previous vax and medical info on).

I am visibly pregnant so didn’t need to ask that!

Cookerhood · 14/12/2021 19:32

They are supposed to ask you the questions but I know DD wasn't asked for her 2nd one. They can't see your medical record, only your name,address, date of birth, NHS number & previous Covid vaccinations plus this year's flu one.

twocatsandtwokids · 14/12/2021 19:39

My husband and I had our boosters together today and we said the same - hardly asked any questions this time and were in and out in 2.5 minutes! Amazing. Much less ceremony than the first two 😆

Orangedaisy · 14/12/2021 19:41

I got Spanish Inquisition for jab 1, literally down to the ages of my kids and what I did for a living. Jab 3 got shown a list of 6 standard questions on reactions/pregnancy and that was it. In and out in minutes (last week, got in just before the rush).
