There are several parts of the world where they would only be too happy to receive them Maybe we should be grateful and stop the attention seeking ? I think, no I know that everyone on this forum is grateful. It’s just banter not attention seeking. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted November 3, 2021 #27130 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I am sorry to hear that so many people are struggling to get their jabs in some parts of the country, we are lucky here in that most people who I know have not had any problem getting their 3rd dose when it was due. We had a lot of walkins last weekend and no-one was turned away, though we did have one person who left without having his booster because we only had Pfizer and he insisted that he was entitled to an AZ for his booster even though it has been well publicised that Pfizer is safe for all boosters regardless of the previous vaccinations. I suspect that we had easy to please people because it was mainly older people and they seem to be more patient than the younger ones when it comes to queuing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ccpm Posted November 3, 2021 #27131 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Forgot to do the weather report here in Holt. Well it is full sun, nippy but bright. Dachsies have all popped outside twice now and are showing no interest in moving any further than the floor as I have underfloor heating, they think it is bliss and do not like to be torn away from it. I may have a wander though town as its so lovely and most holiday folks have gone plus I will be on foot so should be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1 Posted November 3, 2021 #27132 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I'm a bloke so if I get a sore arm it's got to be serious and I want all the attention I can get.Don't talk about manflu that's potentially fatal. 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted November 3, 2021 #27133 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) I don't think LynnForestgate is in tune with the tone of this thread. No moaning regarding jabs just reporting back what has actually happened. When people say first world problems they mostly put down peoples minor but valid comments.

Dermotsgirl Posted November 3, 2021 #27134 Share Posted November 3, 2021 As vaccines are the subject of the day, I’ll give my vaccine report. My husband and myself booked at Boots for our flu jabs on Oct 2nd. I had mine on the 2nd Oct as planned, and had no side effects at all, not even a sore arm. However, my husband had to rebook, as they didn’t have any over 65’s vaccine. So he ended up having his done yesterday, and is fine apart from a slightly sore arm (I’ve told him to stop attention seeking 😉😂) with regard to Covid boosters, I’m now eligible to book my jab, but I’m waiting for my husband to become eligible, which should be next Monday, then we’ll book appointments for the same time and location. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having my flu jab at local chemist tomorrow. I am eligible for my Covid booster from next Tuesday and am waiting to see if I get a text or a letter from the NHS as I have moved house and GP surgery in last few weeks. I suspect I may have to phone 119. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted November 3, 2021 #27150 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just had a quick catch-up. I haven't seen anyone complaining, etc? It's been a nice sunny day down here after some early morning rain. Working this evening, if you can call sitting in an empty hotel for 5 hours work!! Will take a my book or laptop as something to do. Have just had a phone call from my GP's surgery booking me in for my booster - exactly 6 months after my 2nd jab. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
