I'm 69 and had mine last Friday, Astra Zeneca at our local town hall, super organisd I was in and out in 10 minutes, the boss had hers last Friday and both my brothers had their last week. It's certainly moving along fast.
The boss had the Phizer and had no side effects, I had a sweating, shivery, not very good nights sleep after mine but was OK the next day.

Great to hear so many of you are being given the vaccine. Personally, at only 59¾ with no health issues, I'm at the bottom of the queue 😁😁😁

Well I'm 56 with several health risk issues, had my call up last week, but declined. I asked if the nurse would be correctly attired in a uniform dress to be told they all wear those hideous shapeless scrubs, ugh! But my GP is aware of a serious needle phobia in me and ain't happy!

Regarding Hairy’s needle phobia, I don’t know if it was an extra fine needle, but I honestly didn’t feel a thing.

I feel a bit embarrassed to say I have had both injections as I have been doing voluntary work at the local hospital. The second jab was the issue for me. I was feverish overnight and felt rough for 24 hours. I’ve been told that this is good as it’s shows the body has made antibodies from the first. Something to look forward to.
Keep smiling it makes the management nervous.

My wife had the Pfizer jab last week. No side effects. She's older than me so I'm still waiting for mine.
When they call me, I'll be there like a shot. I've got a phobia of dying early, a needle jab is nothing. 😁

+ 1 on Pfizer. No side effects either.

I do not think for a minute the government have handled Covid well so say the least but vaccine precurement and distribution is looking very good so far....

I'm 59 so well down the list, probably April I'm told.
The wife who is a midwife had her second Astra Zenica jab last week and was rough for a couple of days but was warned this might happen. We both had Covid last May, I was rough for a few days with temperature but breathing was fine. I might still have antibodies keeping me safe for now.
I also had a needle phobia but an acupuncture course cured it......

I had mine on Weds after postponing it for a week as I had 2 bags of antibodies pumped in when I was in hospital with covid and couldn't have the vaccine until  3 months had passed.  The next day I received a letter from council  stating  because I am cv  and shielding our lass is classed as a unpaid carer so got the vaccine on Fri though only 61.  :)

I would like to get the vaccine, but down here that is not going to happen any time soon......couple of years maybe, if we are lucky!!
Can't even get over to the UK unless i pay GBP 1750.00 to be imprisoned in a Hotel for 10 days.

Bummed.

Seriously 2 years? If that's the case surely the other counties further ahead with their programmes will soon help out. Until it we are on top of it worldwide it is still a potential problem anywhere. That's what you would hope would happen and not us looking inwards internationally.....
