Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

No idea, other than perhaps they haven't been offered the Covid one yet.

I was offered a flu jab appointment when I phoned a month or so ago to book an appointment for my annual review. I am below the eligible age group this year but I have an autoimmune condition.
My appointment was this afternoon, so while I was there I asked if they'd be inviting me for a Covid jab this year. She said I could have one there and then if I wanted, as she had two doses left (I believe it comes frozen in multi-dose containers and once defrosted they have to use it that day or chuck it out). So I'm fully jabbed, both in the same arm. My reasoning is one very sore arm is better than two sore arms.
I didn't think to ask which vaccine it was, but I've just had a look at my online record, and it's Pfizer.

 

OH and I are having the flu jab tomorrow at the GP surgery. As for the Covid, despite OH receiving a letter telling him he is eligible for another one and to book online, there does not appear to be anywhere showing up as offering the vaccine in the locality. I should be eligible too but no notification as yet so it's down to Wait and See here.

 

I had both jabs in the same arm on Tuesday and no reaction at all.

 

I thought it would be wait and see too.

 

My arm is already feeling a bit stiff/sore (just about two hours in) so I think I'm in for a rough night or two. Hopefully I'll sleep on the unjabbed side and not roll over and wake myself up too often. I haven't previously had any reaction other than sore arms and feeling slightly off-colour for a few days, so fingers crossed for nothing worse this time.

 

Had the two this morning. Feeling a bit tired but then I always do!
No reaction so far.

 

My wife's arm ached quite badly last time after having both in the same arm. This time she's going to ask for one in each. Then she will at least know which one makes her arm sore.

 

I hope we dont get another epidemic, we're running out of arms.

 

We had nothing regards a covid jab, but the gov site did say you will be offered it with your flu jab - exactly what happened for us.
I was flattened for 12-24 hrs by what I suspect was the flu jab (all left side where the flu jab was), but can't really say . Was tired (went to sleep) , shivers and weak. Interestingly my sister had the same, but brother was fine!

 

They can always use our bums. Never forget being in Greece and getting some sort of infection which required an emergency injection of some sort. No niceties involved, just pants down, whack!

 

Yes they used to do that with the tetanus jab.
Had a few of those when I was younger.

 

Ouch!

 

We had our flu jabs two days ago and had no side effects at all.

Now we've just received our NHS letters saying to get flu and covid jabs. Already had an email from the NHS too.

 

Ah @pete it's what you are missing....
