--- Quote from: coppice on May 15, 2021, 09:54:05 pm --- There are two vaccination centres in York, one at the northern end and one at the southern end. Everyone seems to get their first appointment at the southern one, and their second appointment at the northern one. I have no idea why. --- End quote --- A relative of mine from Doncaster ended up booking her appointment all the way over in Wakefield. Fortunately though she managed to get it changed to one more local. Around the same time there was an article in the paper which said that lots of people were being offered appointments a very long distance away. This turned out to be due to how the appointments were issued and if anyone was offered such an appointment they'd be better off phoning back in a couple of days time to to get a local one. |

Well, as of yesterday, I’m fully vaccinated! I feel like crap, but more because the joint aches made it impossible to find a comfy position to sleep, so I barely slept at all. But hey, IT’S DONE!! :) (Moderna, btw.) |

I'm getting my first shot today! Originally my age group was only in July but they've been moving it up as we get more supply, now anyone 18+ can go. Going to be a good excuse to upgrade my phone to a 5G model, now that I'll be a walking cell tower. :-DD |

So far there's no solid information I can find beyond a vague suggestion of a correlation. --- End quote --- Yes, that's exactly why I'm a little wary of the Pfizer vaccine. The data from Israel was leaked. The studies on AZ are also a bit flaky. The blood clots have a higher incidence in young women, but that's to be expected anyway, since it could be in part due to oral contraceptives. The severe adverse side effects of the vaccines have all been associated with the immune response, so it's reasonable to expect that if someone was infected with the real thing, they would be at much greater risk of sinus venous thrombosis, or myocarditis etc. than if they were vaccinated. This also means that any vaccine we make will carry some risk of an inflammatory immune response. To me it makes sense to be vaccinated, irrespective of how many people are infected at the moment, because if not enough people get the vaccine, cases will rise in future. |

I had my second AZ jab a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely no symptoms from the first one (I think I detected a slightly sore arm when I rolled over in bed, but nothing during the day). I felt a little bit rough for a couple of days after the second one, hopefully that indicated that the first jab had 'primed' me. |
