Feeling a prick! Tales of vaccine shots for your edutainment.

Only for miserable, negative people actually

Yeah whatever....

It's actually research driven. Adenovirus vaccines cause worse side effects with the first dose, while mRNA vaccines cause worse side effects on the second dose.

Hurty arm is no longer hurty so that cleared up quick enough.

Just got to survive the next four weeks without a clot

Pack him off on holiday for a month, sorted!

I was tempted to post that but HWMBO has enough to put up with

"What one am I getting?"

"The Pfizer one"

"What you need to know about your Astra Zeneca vaccine"

Probably some left over, or a cheap blend.

Got my 2^nd Oz Az last week (zero side effects). Grumpy nurse did not want to sign the covid-19 vax entry in my WHO vaccine certificate “… if everyone wants this it would take up our time… blab la”. She did sign it in the end.

Attended this morning at our local surgery for number 2, straight in and out ~7 minutes. Pre loaded with paracetamol so should be ok for headaches. Quite a few friendly volunteers.

Could hardly understand the nurse as her accent was so thick. Bit of a worry as she was asking me important questions.

Injection site sore (might have been her technique) but so far no other symptoms.

Sadly the doctors are seeing hardly anyone so the healthcare backlog is going to be huge.

Well there's no harm in knowing all about the Astra Zeneca vaccine, even if it doesn't apply to you!

I think it's more likely she may have made a verbal slip up and I got the AZ one.

Printing out the wrong leaflets for that day should have got noticed at one point by someone surely if they were handing them out to everyone. But then it is the NHS.

If it was the AZ one I'm passed the '4 days till clot death' window.

All the vaccines have an extremely minor risk of causing blood clots.
