Ooh yes I was thinking of taking paracetamol as well! Maybe an hour beforehand?I'm having mine tomorrow as well. I reckon if there was any reason to believe I was at risk from blood clots it would have come up between 2014 and 2017 because that's when I was right under the medical microscope. That said, I'm considering popping a couple of paracetamol beforehand to be on the side of safety.
Yeah it's the same vacc. My friend who is early 20s had it and was really poorly for days, vomiting, diarrhoea, aching. But I've heard the younger you are the worse the side effects. So I'm thankful to be old.If Oxford is the AstraZeneca one I had it on Saturday and so did a woman from work. Other than feeling a little off-colour the worst side effect is the sore arm and two Paracetamol will stop that in its tracks. She also had a sore arm and felt slightly poorly on Sunday but that's it. After our comparison of side-effects yesterday we then spent five minutes slagging off her husband who had to take a day off work after he'd had his. Don't panic Rachey, I think it's just a lottery whether you get any.
Not sure which one @Ag had but he sounded worse off than we got.

Morning. I feel like crying, whos in?
Oh god me too. Must be the time of the month
I'm getting mine because the isle of Wight is way ahead of it's target and is now starting on the over 40s. Plus my friend is the Receptionist at the doctors surgery.@Rachey @octophone @Floppet (I think you may be asthmatic?) are you all getting yours because you are frontline workers or are they starting to vaccinate over 40’s? I haven’t heard anything yet.![]()

Considering the islands population is mostly over 65 I have no idea how they're getting through us so fast. Although I guess we only have a population of 165,000 anyway.Fantastic. I THINK we are still at 60 and over here, as I know a few who are early 60’s getting their vaccination on Saturday so I probably still have a fair while to wait.
