She doesn't drive.

I have a 'support bubble' with my son & his family, so I'll arrange something with him.

Good luck for tomorrow.

Good luck for tomorrow.

Thanks, John !

My son is taking me there [& back to his house in Strood].

He would normally come & collect me on a Friday & I'd spend the evening with his family.

Had the Pfizer Vaccine yesterday evening.

Started with a queue outside the Swanscombe Health Centre where an official very slowly let one or two people in at a time.

Some minor gripes over who should go in first with people saying "I should be at the front as my appointment is for 5:30 !"

A quick check showed that all our 'appointments' were for that same time !

Once inside there was another queue, but at least in the warm & with seats provided !

Finally got into the vaccinating room [with two other patients] & got the jab.

The reason for the long wait & queue was because, after the jab, we had to sit there for 15 minutes so they could check for any adverse reaction !

When we left, the outside queue stretched 'round-the-block', made even longer by the social distancing !

Been advised I might feel a tad 'groggy' for a few days, but to dose up on Paracetemol.

Second jab could be in 12 weeks time...

Thanks for the update. They're saying now they might do away with the 15 minutes bit after the jab. Hopefully you won't have to wait 12 weeks for the the second jab.

Yes, they're doing the 'over 75s' just now.

Ok, good on you.
Here they are doing it just for the over 80 years old and medical personnel.

Of course not, and right now behind the scenes in the corridors of power they're trying to soften the media up around reporting it.

Perhaps you could see if it is fine to take some paracetamol, just before the jab, so you don't have any delay before the paracetamol takes affect?

This is what is recommended in Australia for babies and toddlers when taking them for their jabs.
