If you'd told me...
« on: 20 March 2021, 17:36:26 »

... a year ago that I'd be stood meekly in a line waiting to be injected with a vaccine that didn't yet exist, hadn't gone through years of clinical trials and that the government had waived the pharmaceutical company of any liability, I'd have laughed at you and said No way Jose or words to that effect.  ::)

Yet  there I was this morning stood meekly in a line.....   :)

It will be the Sputnick One. No alcohol for 10 days before or 40 days after otherwise your butt cheek crack gets bigger.

Plenty of Jose's here wishing there was a vaccine to be able to be injected with!

Good point though Sir Tigger. Normality has been totally suspended  in the last 13 months. No foreign hols likely this year either.........

had my first dose a couple of weeks ago-the Pfizer one-after getting a phone call from my GP. No side effects apart from a sudden taste for Sauerkraut :D :D ;D ;D ;D

or you could just book it yourself on-line in case they messed up or don't know your details .

if you are registered with a doctors surgery ,know your own name , date of birth and postcode then it takes 5 minutes on-line  ;D

Yep, that's what we did, booked online for first and second jab. We've had the first jab, second jab booked for about twelve weeks later. There wasn't a queue either, in and out in under ten minutes. They just told us to walk about/sit down after the jab for fifteen minutes before I drove so I went in Greggs and pigged out on snacks.  ::)
They recommended taking paracetamol before and after to help to counteract any side effects.
