Feels like someone has punched me and given me a dead arm, but otherwise fine.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
It doesn't have to be the NHS app, my GP uses a different app for bookings and it was on that.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
So I thought I had a weird red patch where I'd been jabbed. I looked on my other arm and had the same weird patch.....odd, thinks I.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Interesting quote:
No mention of other vaccines however ...Sky News wrote: Current COVID vaccines could offer lasting protection without need for yearly booster shots
Scientists have frequently suggested the public may need a booster shot each year to ensure they're sufficiently protected against COVID-19, much like the annual flu shot.
But studies are now underway as evidence suggests immunity from the Pfizer and Modern vaccines may not dwindle over time - which could reduce the need for a booster each year.
However, experts say more research is needed and there's still the possibility of virus mutations that could evade vaccines.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
My lad 22 had his first Pfizer vaccine yesterday. He felt a reaction after about 30s. Was taken into emergency room to lie down, drink water and have a sugary biscuit. One minute later and perfectly fine.
The reaction symptoms were loss of sight and low blood pressure and a strange sensation down the arm.
Quite scary for him. Last night he just had slight numbness in hand and heavy arm. It's a good job he didn't go and sit in his car for 15min, although he probably wouldn't have been out of the building before reaction started.
Tip...stay in building for a minute or two, just incase.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
When we had our Pfizer jabs (2 different venues) we were given a sticky note with a time written. Then sat and watched the clock for 15 minutes.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Up here the Pfizer jabees have to sit in the hall where they were jabbed for 15 minutes. The AZ ones were trusted to sit in their cars for 15 minutes.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Same here yesterday when I went for my second jab. Oxford recipients could leave immediately and Pfizer had to wait.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
It was interesting to see who waited in the car park, and who didn't.
FWIW I didn't, I had my jab and then drove straight home. I didn't get where I am from hanging about in car parks.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
I had the AZ one, but the bloke helping out said on the Pfizer days they had hardly any queue as they couldn't get anywhere near as many people through as they had to wait in the hall for 15 after the jab so they processed a lot less people.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Shouldn't make any difference if the hall can accommodate 15 minutes worth of vaccination rate.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
With AZ they said wait 15 mins in your car (or my case walking round Morrisons) with Pfizer they said you had to wait in the hall for 15 mins. So with AZ it was 3-4 mins in and out rolling constantly, with Pfizer it was dose X number of people then have to wait 15 mins, then another X number of people and given it's a small village hall they couldn't process anywhere near the same number as once full of dosed people they couldn't get any more in.
In a big place probably not much difference.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Both centres I've been in had about enough seats to cope with throughput.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
My lads absolutely fine today. Does seem to show that the Pfizer is more likely to give a shock reaction thing, and Az less so. Don't know about side affects.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
DiL (27 and fit and healthy) had the Pfizer about 2 weeks ago. Mrs W got a phone call from our son last Sunday while we were out to say that DiL wasn’t feeling well, severe headache, blurry vision and struggling to speak. Mrs W advises to dial 999 - ambulance was there within a couple of minutes as they (and uz) suspected a stroke (facial muscles were also affected). She was wizzed in for a CT scan which came back clear, followed by a full MRI which was inconclusive. She escaped hospital on Friday but is still being treated as an inpatient.
Attending paramedic said that they had had a couple of similar cases in the last few weeks and if you look on the NHS website, the possible side effect symptoms (and it advises 111) are now listed as headaches, blurry vision and difficulty speaking . That has just appeared on there, it wasn’t there early in the week.
She seems to be slowly improving, still very nauseous, speaking is better but not back to normal.
