Re: We're all doomed! Doomed I say- the Corona virus thread for panicking in!

I don't know when I'm getting it, it seems that every injection center is following different rule subsets, and though I'm qualified in some places I'm not in others. Haven't been able to find an opening yet.

[Mrs Figg]

well keep on at it. If I had the opportunity I would be ringing every 5 minutes until they gave up and gave me the jab.  I am known as a human hammer though. stubborn and determined as a mule.

In another few weeks I think the age requirement will drop down to bracket me, so I won't have to use the educator's bracket that so many places don't seem to know about.

[Mrs Figg]

Halfy if you can use the educator category now, use it now! don't wait weeks if you don't have to. That is my advice.

[halfwise]

yeah, but every place I find that's open for it has no vacancies.

[Mrs Figg]

is there any way you can be 'pinged' when they have a vacancy? its a question of right time right place and masses of patience.

[halfwise]

That's a whole new level of sophistication we ain't got.

[Mrs Figg]

well keep on at it until they give you one.

{{ Well 24 hrs later and arm is still still bit sore, kind of tight feeling like Az said like its been put in a vice. But nothing terrible. Had some very, very mild flu like symptoms through the night, few night shivers and sweats, but nothing extreme. And its made me a bit tired. But so far so good! }}

[Mrs Figg]

 my brother was the same but he had a headache for a day as well. Nothing too bad though with a bit of paracetamol.

[azriel]

Glad your ok Petty

[halfwise]

Got my first jab a couple hours ago, feeling nothing. Next one in a month.

[halfwise]

BTW Figgs - you're pushing it, have you gotten it?

[halfwise]

12 hours on from the Moderna shot, nothing more than highly localized stiffness. Thought I'd have a bigger reaction, not sure whether to be alarmed or relieved.

[Mrs Figg]

The Moderna jab is supposed to be ok as regards after effects, like the Pfizer one. Its AZ that gives people the 'in bed for a week' thing. Talking of which I wont be getting AZ because Italy has said those under 60 cant have it, so thats me, under 60.
I am relieved in a way because I am pretty sure the AZ jab would have given me a bad cold afterwards. Not bothered about the blood clot thing because its 1 in a million chance. We will get the Johnson & Johnson mono-dose or Pfizer/Moderna, but Sputnik is fine by me.

 and no I haven't been offered a jab yet, they are still doing the 70 year olds and the 80 year olds and the extremely vulnerable groups.

 its gonna take a while, maybe next month    its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow!

[halfwise]

Almost worth travel home to Merry Ole' though I suppose you're not in their docket.

[Lancebloke]

I haven't been offered mine yet. Bit of a slow down to catch up on 2nd doses.

[Mrs Figg]

Almost worth travel home to Merry Ole' though I suppose you're not in their docket.

the only problem with that is quarantine afterwards and being stuck in a metal tube for 3 hours then stuck in another metal tube for 3 hours after that. Too much metal tubing going on.

[halfwise]

And you get stuck WITH a metal tube in between.

[Mrs Figg]

hey Lance how are you doing? are you starting to feel better?

[Lancebloke]

Still got plenty of issues but getting on. Generally more of an inconvenience at the moment... my chest is always aching, joints and feet often too. 

Seems my subconscious still thinks there is a threat out there somewhere and trying to stop me from getting to that somewhere. 

My subconscious needs to sort itself the fuck out!!!!

[Mrs Figg]

hmm the subconscious is a tricksy bugger and needs kid gloves.

[chris63]

Had my jab a couple of weeks ago. All good. Few people at work got real sick. One of the girls not having the 2nd jab.

[halfwise]

Which one is used in Australia?

[Mrs Figg]

was it AZeneca Chris? a lot of people have got flu like symptoms afterwards but I would ask that girl to definitely have the second dose or she wont be protected. I believe the 2nd jab isn't as bad as the first so she shouldn't worry about it.
