Vaccine on its own thread.

[1875]

I had Moderna, I was fine other than a hot flush and headache for an hour after around 15 hours.

 

[hibbybilly]

Got my booster jag appointment at Musselburgh on Thursday afternoon.
Booked it online, don't think I need to take any ID or anything ?
Hope it's the Pfizer one...a few folk I know have had a bad reaction after the Moderna jag.

Take your vaccine confirmation letter with you, tae be on the safe side. I think it’s moderna for the booster. Not heard of any other type. Arm a bit tender next day for me but ok.

I didn't get a letter though.
I was sent a text by NHS Scotland asking me to book, and I just booked an appointment online.

You can do it online, but if just 'turning up' remember to cancel the appointment so someone else can get it.

I checked the site today and my appointment for tomorrow has disappeared so they must do it automatically.

 

[hibbybilly]

Anybodys booster showing on their app yet?

 

[JFP]

Anybodys booster showing on their app yet?

Yeah all 3 there

 

[hibbybilly]

Cancel that, I looked this morning and it wisnae there, just checked again and it’s there. As you were.

 

[Doc Shrink]

3 for me too!

 

[1875]

3 for me too.

 

[Rocky]

Just noticed that my app has the result of a PCR test on there too from back in September. Pretty sure that wasn't there before.

 

[1875]

Mine also says I recovered from covid.

 

[Dub]

Mine also says I recovered from covid.

When I log in to mine it flashes up saying "Your covid status is no longer valid" then proceeds to the QR code page or to the international travel page which shows my valid status as having had all 3 jags. Not sure why I get the initial invalid message.

I get the same. Shoddy development, best ignored IMO

 

[moathibby]

My mum gets her-I've lost count; 4th jag? On April 3rd at Ocean Terminal.See! It hasnae gone away! Not by a long chalk.

 

[Forzahibs]

Just been for a pcr test , see what comes back

Viruses never go away. This one is no different.

My dad has had his appointment for his booster jag as well

Correct.

Those perpetuating this bollocks that we can somehow eradicate it and go for an elimination strategy are really pissing me off.

Did we hear of such nonsense for flu? And no I'm not comparing flu with Covid-19. I'm comparing a viral disease with another viral disease.

 

[Forzahibs]

Tested positive ffs

 

[Smurf]

Tested positive ffs

Got symptoms mate? Had before? Wish you a speedy recovery.

Aye came on yesterday tea time so went for a test this morning

 

[Doc Shrink]

Good luck mate.
I’m still pretty fucked up after a few weeks of the bastard virus, but at least you have youth on your side.


I tried my best to get one, but they just called me a pervert and told me to fuck off.

 

[greencol]

I've been pretty lucky by the sound of it.
Delivering prescriptions to people on a daily basis many of them with Covid and, to the best capability of LFT tests( and several PCR's due to contact) never tested positive since it kicked off 2 years ago.
My wife reckons she had it right back at the beginning , but that was before testing started. She did take to her bed for a week with the symptoms at that time and shes not easily flattened by illnesses.
My daughter and her partner had it about 4 months ago.
My daughter in law and the 2 kids had it ( that's twice for her), but my son has not!
Maybe I've just been careful? When I do deliver to people with Covid I lay it on their doorstep, knock and take a couple of steps back and wait for them to pick up.
And I always wear a mask in those instances and if I'm delivering to sheltered housing complexes.
I always remember Sgt Phil Esterhaus from Hill St Blues and think.....'Hey ,hey ,hey....let's be careful out there'.
Stay safe folks.

 

[moathibby]

Had an argument with three care assistants this morning in the store in Restalrig Road South.I saw these three gabbing away with each other standing in the queue,none had masks on; two had masks hanging under their chins.So one of them goes behind me in the queue and I say 'do you mind?Don't stand so close and put your mask on' her pal pipes up 'what's your problem?' I say ' she's not wearing a mask and I'm asking her to' and the same one pipes up 'she? I'm exempt' flashing her lanyard,I said 'I was talking about the woman behind me' she then replies 'what's your problem?' her pal pipes up 'it's not compulsory now anyway' I said 'my problem is I'm trying to keep my mum alive' they shut up paid for their stuff and left.I pay for mine and leave.Outside the three pals are standing talking ,two of them have put their masks on.

 

[hibbybilly]

Get well soon D

Shitey game of tap door run that. Having said that, at 65 I’d probably get caught a lot now

 

[emerald green]

I had it about 4 weeks ago mate.... shitty cold for me nothing at all tae be bothered about. Lasted about a week. I have 2 jabs but nae booster. Hopefully you'll smash it mate. Best luck!

 

[greencol]

It seems to be rampant everywhere at the moment.
I've done about 2 dozen deliveries today and at least a third have been to folks with Covid.
Including a neighbour.
Wear yer masks.

Well done, Moaty. Hope your Ma stays safe - and you.

5yo daughter tested positive for it on Friday, on the plus side she misses out on a school trip to Gorgie (farm)! She's gutted about that to be fair. She is the second of my kids to have caught it but it has yet to have been passed on to me or the missus, reckon we're immune?!
