StephenFord Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Just heard on the news that the UK reached an all time record of peaking at 27 vaccinations/second, and almost 900,000 in one day. What an amazing achievement! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only there had been a way to avoid that... You know, like not suspending the use of a vaccine, scaring their citizens of it's use, then wondering why when it's been re-introduced, their population doesn't want it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Mum had hers done yesterday...no ill effects as far as I know. Another relative did have a reaction to it though, bad flu type symptoms, I wonder if he'd previously had the virus and not known. Apparently it was another record breaking day yesterday...but that's a bit like it being 'the hottest day of the year' every other day for 3 months of spring...

iantt Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Lad at work had his first jab. Been suffering quite badly with headaches,shivers, aches and pains etc for 6 days.nearly over it now. My partner said 5 of her nursing team had second jab after having first with no effects. 2nd one wiped them all out, off I'll with swollen lymph nodes under arms size of orange, reaction came on within 30 mins but after the 15 mins waiting period after jab. One said if she didn't have an automatic car to drive home she wouldn't have managed to drive home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about those reactions Ian. Which jab was that - from what I've seen and heard so far the 15 minutes wait only applies to Pfizer? Now here's a funny one. My Mrs went deaf in one ear, doctor found it to be a build up of wax, and told her to use eardrops for a couple of weeks and go for a syringing if it didn't clear up. We didn't think much about it (common enough problem) but then heard the doctor on Radio 2 saying she'd seen a big increase in earwax in people who'd had a jab. Could be coincidence or possibly a minor side effect? Mrs's seems to be clearing up now, after using drops as advised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I've just had my jab at 10am. It's my birthday and all the NHS staff sang happy birthday to me. Made my day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job they didn't give you birthdays beats...especially in the same arm! My Nan had a medical app't on her birthday a few years ago. The receptionist went out and got her a bunch of flowers while she was being seen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been misdiagnosed myself with a condition years ago, I too subsequently question every medical decision made on me. Recently I refused chemo, weighing up the pros & cons on myself, my mum's generation would never have done that as you're right, they accepted every Dr advice as gospel! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Great Aunt and Nan will believe absolutely everything a Doctor tells them without question!! My Mum was always very deferential to doctors and would just take loads of stuff as you say. This led to her being rushed into hospital on two occasions as her doctor had miscalculated the effects of the various medicines on each other. In the end I went to see her GP and threatened him with a formal complaint if it happened again! I think it's possibly life experience and/or personality as much as generational. My Dad was a lot more keen to know the ins and outs of things, possibly because he'd had to make literally life or death decisions in his Army service. I was used to weighing up advice from various other professionals at work and making my own judgements and decisions. I treat medical advice in much the same way (though I should add that I have a lot of respect for my own GP). Clearly if you are at deaths door in A&E you have to go with what's on offer, but under other circumstances I always ask lots of questions and get a second opinion and/or do further research if I feel it necessary. So (to get back on topic) by the time my turn for vaccine came up I was pretty confident that taking it was the right thing to do. I don't do my research on Facebook and Twitter, though!😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember both of the vaccines are still on trial till 2023, so no repercussions to the government or manufacturers if the go wrong or don't work.

I only realised recently that one of the key components of the Pfizer vaccine is actually produced in the UK by Croda, whose HQ is only a few miles from where I live. Might be one of the reasons why our "friends and partners" have backed away from an all-out export ban - like most things it cuts both ways. Government have already invested vast sums so far, with more to come, as mentioned here for example. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14406052/boris-johnson-ramp-up-uk-vaccine-production/ No doubt we'll all end up paying for it one way or another, but in this situation I don't mind at all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
