The September Covid Jab

[Pheno]

Actually just like a summer cold but the hacking cough that accompanied it was quite debilitating and draining of energy.  Its almost gone now though and the same for the others.  Thanks for asking.

Covid booking webiste says re book 28 days after onset of symptoms for adults, different advice for children.

Hope you and your family continue to improve pheno.

Husband is due for covid booster so looked at the NHS website and went to nearest walk in on Saturday. Lots of folk there all being turned away as they said the website was wrong and they don't do walk ins. Apparently one man was quite ' direct' with the receptionist. No bookable appointments available there until mid October. Then yesterday saw a post from our gp's saying they are working their way down their lists so to expect a phone call to make an appt there soon, so husband thinks he'll wait for that - which will save the petrol to travel to the walk in.

I'm off for mine in an hour or so!  Flu jab booked for 3 weeks later.

Had mine yesterday in next town. Friend had his last week. He's got frozen shoulder now, and I spent night very uncomfortable with painful shoulder. No issues at all with earlier covid shots???

All I have is a slightly tender arm if I touch where the needle went in. I feel very lucky!

Had 3 texts in total from the Drs - 1st one saying there would be 2 further texts, one with a link for booking covid and flu jab and another for booking just a flu jab.
Very efficient and booked online at my GP practice (always assuming they haven’t run out of vaccine) as it isn’t until the middle of October

You could report it via NHS Yellow Card system.

We were warned that the effects might be more severe with the Moderna bivalent, which is being used for the 65+ group when possible - so a known side effect.

We had ours last Wednesday and the pain in the upper arm was painful and lasted for 2-3 days but not bad enough to take paracetamol, etc.
