Same here, I was there at that time too.Had mine at the Showground this morning, a few minutes ahead of my 11:37 appointment time.
This morning it was the Astra Zeneca / Oxford vaccine.
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.Blimey!
Your recovery time ends at..., sounds a little bit threatening.
What do they do with the remains if you fail to meet the time?
Yes, it seems very well organised.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.
How's it work with 2 different vaccines being given when it comes to the 2nd dose?
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 4-02Yes, 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.
it can make men & women sterile
That's what I was worried about , with production being reduced of Pfizer which I had.
Where do I sign up?
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
Wouldn't surprise me if they scrapped the second jab and just focused on getting 1st jab in as many arms as possible
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.
