The Vaccination Lounge

[Iguana]

Nicola Sturgeon has published figures showing the vaccine rollout is going to be a bit stilted over the next few weeks, which will supposedly be reflected throughout the UK. However the target of all of the most vulnerable being vaccinated by mid-February should still be met.

VACCINE TRACKER

2.64 million vaccinations have been given in the UK.

Meanwhile Angela Merkel has told her MPs that Germany may not have "sufficient stocks" of the vaccine for a proper rollout until July. So far 750,000 people have been vaccinated in Germany.

Italy has given the second most vaccinations in Europe (788,000).

Well I’ve woken up and definitely starting to feel the effects of it. My right arm (where I was INJECTED) is really quite sore and this morning I’ve started to go all achey

That will literally be me on tomorrow’s zoom

 

[Sheena]

All done. Easy, no pain, but arm aching a bit now. Very pleased!

 

[Apoca]

OMG look at all of you GO

How lovely.

 

[Star]

Have to say I do feel jealous

I'm desperately trying to get on a list to get mine done and just not getting anywhere. My work borough has been slow to process it all and as of yesterday the central place didn't even have this borough registered, let alone then getting us onto the register. I had a feeling this would happen

 

[Sheena]

So I feel kinda SPACEY with an achey arm. It's not entirely unpleasant. Hoping it lasts until tonight so I can whack a couple of Zapain on top of it to be honest and have a thoroughly lovely time

 

[jyxz]

You think that arm pain is bad now? Just you wait...

 

[lolly]

My arm pain didn't properly start until the next day!

I just think you've got a bad attitude, to be honest. Like the D*ily M*il proudly proclaims, there are 21 million doses in the UK, so you have 21 million reasons to be cheerful. It's downright selfish that you're expecting them to be actually in people. Or expecting your employer to give a shit about you. You're a resource to be exhausted. Know your place.

Mines starting to wear off actually!

 

[Jark]

haven't been following this thread but those of you who have had it and don't work in the NHS, how did you get it? how was has @Soldi had it already for instannce?

 

[Soldi]

Cos I work in NHS

 

[Sheena]

Took my Mum in and they have a surfeit of the Pfizer vaccine they need to use so offered me as her carer.

 

[Jark]

Cos I work in NHS

oh you do? well then let me just slowly remove the pins from my Soldi voodoo doll. back in the box he goes.

 

[lolly]

I don’t work for thr NHS, but in an NHS setting (GP surgeries). So I was offered after they did their own staff.

I've been given two leads tonight for getting myself one Hopefully I'll get somewhere!

CAN AN OCTOPUS EVEN GET IT?!?

CAN AN OCTOPUS EVEN GET IT?!?

One jab per tentacle?

 

[FetchFugly]

Pfizered this afternoon.

They were encouraging staff booked in for next week to walk in today.

 

[jyxz]

Our Trust today opened up the vaccine to all staff, patient contact or not.

I'm now registered on 3 lists, still waiting to be offered an appointment though. Hopefully something will come through this week. It is really frustrating we're being ignored considering how we close with work with the public.

 

[Star]

I got the call! I'm booked in tonight for 19:48. Fingers crossed it all goes ahead!

 

[FetchFugly]

I got the call! I'm booked in tonight for 19:48. Fingers crossed it all goes ahead!

That is a very precise time slot.

My arm didn't really ache at all afterwards, certainly much less than it usually does for the flu jab. I had a bit of a muzzy head the next day but otherwise all good.

 

[Iguana]

Very pleased for you

 

[Star]

Pfizer baby!

 

[lolly]

Are you sitting with your egg timer?

 

[Star]

I don't have an egg timer, just been told to sit

 

[Star]

I really feel like volunteering now, God bless all the people here

 

[lolly]

Yes, I felt the same. I was told by the GP who is doing the main hub here that they are well covered at present, it's when it moves to the lower priority tiers that he thinks I'll be most useful, so I asked the coordinator to keep me in mind for Fridays.

 

[lolly]

And while we know this isn't the end of it Star, I hope this helps takes the edge off your anxiety at work now x

I feel better for myself/ my family certainly. But I won't stop fighting the battle to keep others safe at work. Seeing how meticulous they were at the vaccination surgery, I am once again going to put some points across tomorrow to the bosses.

In some ways it may make you more focused and less emotional. Give them hell!

 

[Star]

I just text my mum to tell her I'm all jabbed up and she replies;

'But did you get Pfizer or Oxford because I heard Pfizer is better so I hope you asked for that one'

FOR GOODNESS SAKE MOTHER

 

[Sheena]

My Mum did exactly the same. Like she could demand what she gets

And jab one isn’t exactly IMMUNITY, sadly. I didn’t feel any safer when I had to go to fucking ALDI yesterday and everyone was climbing over each other.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I just put my name down to volunteer in one of the mass vaccination centres in Paris

 

[Iguana]

My dad turned 70 today so he's hoping he's included in the 70+ vaccination letters that started being sent out from today. Hopefully they're not using an historic list!

 

[lolly]

I know here at least they are still working through the over 80s and don't envisage starting on the over 70s for at least a few days. And of course GP surgeries are now swamped with over 70s wondering why they haven't heard yet.
