COVID booster

My DiL tested positive last night after we had been to visit.We were due our boosters today and were told it was OK to have it as long as we had no symptoms and so we did . Now 3 of the 4 children in the family have it so like annsixty I expect to succumb but it won’t be the booster that caused it .

My friend who tested positive yesterday has just rung to say another person on our table also tested positive yesterday.
They hadn’t been in contact with each other for some time so it wasn’t from each other.
I was with both chatting for 4 hours so I am expecting to succumb.

I'm off for my covid booster in 10 minutes time. Just need to put my shoes on. I'll report back if I have any adverse reactions. I'm not expecting any as all I've had with the others is feeling cold the next day.

I had my booster last Wednesday and had no side effects at all, apart from a slight ache in my arm on the site of the injection, which lasted only a day. I’m having my ‘flu vaccination tomorrow.

Biscuitmuncher - I assume no-one close to you has died from Covid and your near family are not NHS frontline workers?

The reactions I had to my vaccine are mentioned as side effects to the vaccine and are short lived. Each individual will react differently. Serious side effects are rare, and I would rather take my chance with the vaccine than become debilitated with long covid, as some I know are, or even die through being unprotected. It’s a no brainer.

i want as many vaccinations as i can get or pay for.

Me too.
We are given vaccinations for a reason. I remember hearing, a long time ago, that if there was a smallpox epidemic in the UK, the only people to survive would be in comers, or the (rare then) international travellers.

The covid vaccine is not a live vaccine and does not cause covid.

If you have had side effects such as sleeping a lot you should report that back to your pharmacy or GP surgery, wherever you had it done because there seem to be a few who slept a lot and/or felt unwell.

I had my booster last week and as my pharmacy is a walk - in I will have my flu jab in early October.

I am so grateful I am being offered the boosters and flu jabs. I would willingly pay for both.

The incubation period for recent omicron infections can be as short as 48 hours I’m told.

I’m not blaming anything.
She tested positive too soon to have picked it up at the party.
Did she already have it when vaccinated or could it possibly be a rare occasion when the vaccine gave her Covid?

Are you blaming the jab annsixty or the partying with 60 people?

My friend and I had our booster last Thursday with no ill effects at all.
On Saturday we were at a birthday party with 60 others.
Yesterday she tested positive for Covid.
Coincidence or what?

Slightly tender arm after booster jab last Wednesday, but well worth the ouch. Flu jab on 3 October. Bring 'em on!

Yep! Me too

I had no reaction from my Covid booster this time.

Looking forward to having the flu one next week.I have anything offered to me.

Same here. Thankfully.

Hopefully there’ll be enough who take the vaccine to protect those who don’t.

I don’t think my family in the NHS could take another year like the last two.

I will take every vaccination that’s offered. Had my Covid Booster on Saturday. No side effects whatsoever. Flu jab on 1st October- will have that done as well. We are so lucky to be offered these FOC.

I can’t understand the unwillingness to have vaccinations!

I am not having another one..

I cant understand the willingness to keep having yourselves injected

Yes had mine + flu Saturday and spent much of Sunday in bed. Feeling much recovered today, and glad I’ve had the booster. Would have felt much worse with the actual infection I’m sure and glad my immune system’s been primed.
