That's what I was worried about , with production being reduced of Pfizer which I had.

Same here, I was there at that time too.
My arm aches, and about 20 mins after my leaving time I developed a blistery looking rash on my face, very tender, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
Miffed I didn't get a sticker though.

It's the time at which you are allowed to leave, 15 mins after the vaccine, although my rashy cheeks didn't happen till nearly 12.30pm and was gone within an hour.

They told hubby they have the capacity to do 1000-1200 jabs a day up at the showground, when they get the full supplies. (But some days they haven't had the supplies )
He, like me, was totally impressed by how well organised and efficient they were up there. Says he's never been anywhere that was as well organised as that before.

Yes, it seems very well organised.
We should be proud that we have a facility like the Showground, which has served us well over the years. Not forgetting, of course, all those who have worked and volunteered to make this as smooth an operation as it could be.

Johnson's basic mission statement.I believe they are calling this part of the strategy "Poke and Hope"
Likewise the Kingston Centre. Had our jabs there on Saturday late afternoon. There was a constant flow of recipients before & after us. Everything was fantastic from the greeting when we arrived through the young guy at the door while we waited to get in(social distancing) to the check in staff & the vaccinators not forgetting the waiting room staff. We had 2 appointments at 3-40, got out of the car at just on 3-30 & were back in at 4-02
Every experience I've had at the Kingston Centre both testing & vaccination has been very positive. We should congratulate everyone involved there for their fantastic dedication & professionalism.

Yeah. I saw that too. I thought it a bit strange but I suppose as the second dose is now being looked on as a booster it probably wouldn’t make a difference. When I had my jab & they gave me the card with vaccine details on they said to make sure I get the AZ at the second.
I saw a bit of Panorama earlier about the vaccine & fake news. I had to turn it off, I was getting too wound up about the absolute shite some of those wankers were spouting. A German professor actually said “it can make men & women sterile & also even their unborn children” FFS

I wouldn’t worry, even just the first jab seems to be showing numbers that are significantly higher than the flu jab provides after a few weeks. The second jab is really there as a long-term booster

The thing about getting a different vaccine for the second dose is more of a last resort, from what I understand (ie several doctors and scientists I follow on Twitter were keen to emphasise that last month). Though there are studies underway to see exactly how efficient specific combinations of vaccines are, so if anyone does receive a different second dose, it wouldn't be without data to support that combination.

I've got two arms so can I have a second jab say within 12 weeks of the first please?

I didn't have a great night, I woke up at 2am in agony, arm was absolutely killing & I could barely move it, banging headache, joints aching and I was boiling hot. Bloody injection is horrible, I do hope the second doesn't cause the same problems.
If you are having the vaccine keep some paracetamol handy, it took the headache away and knocked the edge off the joint pain. Hopefully it'll only last 24 hrs.
To top that off work phoned to ask if I could cover someone's shift & I've had to say no, as I can barely move my arm.

Hope it passes quickly, Lemsip and a Nextflix box set is the best cure!
