Vaccine recipients....

Second AZ on Wednesday. Feeling knackered, and lots of aches. Dragged myself out for a run this morning but really hard work. Arm doesn’t hurt, and haven’t got the brain fog I had last time. Hoping to feel more on it tomorrow.
 
Second AZ injection at 13:25 today. Painless, no after effects yet. I had a bit of a temperature next day after the first time. They certainly gave me the full treatment about the check-list, no piercing or surgery in the last 28 days .... and on and on. Plus they gave me a printout on blood clots. I'll read it later.

But we had a laugh while about it. They let me in early, and asked me if I was driving ... if so wait for a while. I was on foot from the Bus Station that is more than two miles from the vaccination centre ...

Plus I had a real nice couple of pints of Hereford Pale Ale at the Barrells [Wye Valley Brewery's Hereford pub] with an old friend. First visit to a pub for twelve months.

So in three weeks time I'll be as immune as the current state of the art allows.

Best wishes from George
 
As a result of my mixed vaccination, I've been invited to take part in a study by Public Health England to monitor the effect of mixing vaccines on antibody levels. It looks like I just need to give some blood occasionally for monitoring, up to two years after vaccination.

Hi folks, just had my second jab, so relived ,

now do i have monday and tuesday off, because im not feeling to well, with pay, who knows feeling ok at the mo,
 
Just a quick update after my second AZ dose on Saturday. I was fine all afternoon and evening, but definitely had a bit of temperature in the night. Fine on Sunday though. I ran a temperature the first time, but this was less.

I have the next fortnight house-sitting! Chickens, vegetables and plants to tend, and just relax in the beautiful surrounding common land that is the Bromyard Downs!

I have to say since second jab a few weeks back I'm generally feeling a lot better - hard to know if psychological or not but for the past year I've had weird and sporadic symptoms in lots of different places like random heartburn/ stomach pain, chest tightness, headaches, nothing debilitating but I feel back to normal now. I didn't have Covid as far as I know, and could all be psychosomatic I guess, or maybe the onset of summer and the positive effect that can have on how you feel. Anyone else had a similar experience?
 
nearly a week since my AZ2 still arm sore. Had a few hot nights, but that ain't unusual for me
 
Have a lingering taste of burning rubbish and its all I can smell. Had it for 3 or 4 days and am not on fire.

Not sure if that’s a serious post, but my post-COVID experience has included several bouts of phantom smells, usually lasting 3 days or so each time. One smell was smoke, the other was petrol. Never both together, but one or the other was all-pervading. It’s like walking around in clothes you’d spilt a bit of petrol on, or in a house with a wood burner and a blocked chimney. Hasn’t happened for a few weeks, and my sense of smell continues to recover so hopefully they’ll recede as it improves.
 
Been asked to take a random Covid test by Imperial College. Obviously I signed up. This would be my first Covid test ...

The test-kit will be sent me by the normal post.

Random selection from GP lists, across all areas. It is supposed to gather data on how much symptom-free Covid may be in the community. Of course, I am an unlikely case these days with my two doses of vaccine and also almost certainly had the virus itself in March 2020.

I suspect that this kind of information is going to be crucial in determining what is safe in terms of opening up the restrictions. So I am glad to offer any help I am asked to. I did volunteer for the actual early vaccine trials, but was not selected. I did give permission for them to read my medical notes. They will see that the information I entered is correct!

I managed to botch two of these. The first I didn't get enough blood out of my finger (you only need a couple of drops) and the second I was concentrating so hard on getting enough blood I dropped it in the wrong slot. Surprisingly they haven't invited me for a third.
 
Second (Astrazeneca) dose yesterday. No side-effects at all; sore arm but nowhere near as sore / stiff as after the first dose.
