Vaccination

 ON Wednesday, I got a text message saying I could book a vaccination. So I grabbed a slot on Thursday morning. (I'm over 60 and asthmatid)

It was a nine mile round trip bike ride on a freezing sub-zero day, but since I've got the electric bike, I've got far more in the habit of doing local journeys by bike rather than by car.

Trousers, thermal leggings, and a pair of over-trousers, combined with warm jumpers and a jacket meant that I arrived with nothing worse than cold ears.

The whole thing was very well set up, with lots of helpers guiding people round and checking details.  Only a few minutes queueing, then, in, jabbed and a ten min sit down just to ensure no one had allergic reactions or other adverse effects.

I had the Pfizer jab, and they'll contact me when I'm due for the second one - whenever that may be....

 

Side effects of vaccine. Sore arm, about 24 hours of being a bit shaky and clumsy, and a bad night's sleep.

I suspect my reaction may be greater because I've already had Covid - so my body probably kicks in much faster. Perhaps someone with better knowledge of biology can tell me if I'm right/wrong on that one?
