So, got my Vaccine (Pfizer) this afternoon.
It went very well.
Barely any wait (it was in a large velodrome) with a lot of booths.
Got in, followed the line for first jab, gave my name, and filled out about 7 questions.
"Have I had a vaccine in the last two weeks", "Have I been a contact-case in the last 7 days", "do I have any allergies to x, y or z".
That was about it.
Went and sat down, then someone came and ushered me to a booth, where a doctor asked me basically the same questions.
(All the waivers were done online when making the appointment I think, but due to the time-slots vanishing rapidly, i rushed through that bit, even
though I did read them, and I was not concerned).
Then, I was taken to another booth, with a couple of printouts from the Doctor, and I was given the jab.
Completely painless, no after effects whatsoever.
No sore arm, no headache, no feeling anything at all wrong or unusual.
It's been 6 hours now, and i'm not even tired, or anything.
Maybe i'll feel something tomorrow, I have no idea.
If I do feel different at any point, i'll post an update, for sure
For another experience, one of my colleagues at work, who is older than me, had the Astrazenica last weekend, on Saturday.
He felt crap, slept almost all Sunday, and felt crap on Monday.
He had 'bowel problems' and was sent home on Tuesday, and then felt fine on Wednesday, and all days onward.
We told him to go home on Tuesday, because we're not exactly understaffed, and if he's ill, he should go home rather than give us all something that
he has.
We had a few more people back at work this week, and seeing how they are acting, as in cramming into a single lift, all going out to eat together,
either at a restaurant terrace, or bringing back food to eat all together in a small room, we're not in good shape.
Our site was voluntarily shut by the company because of these people spreading covid massively, and they are just going back to doing the same
again.
Quite a few more people expected back to work monday, so that should be fun.
Its supposed to be a voluntary return to onsite work, but i'm not so sure its that "voluntary".
Maybe the Boss's that have been away for the last 6 months will see what a sh!tshow it is, and will tell people to get their act together.
I hope so.
The "Indian Variant 2", or "Delta2", or B.1.617.2 is still doing really well in the UK.
As i keep on saying, it's THE country to watch, as there have been so many people vaccinated in the UK, it's interesting to see it propagate so fast
anyway, but I still don't know if it's really only the unvaccinated that are getting it, or getting ill.
I seem to see everywhere that they talk of the "Majority" of people being unvaccintaed, but 51%/49% is a majority, so is 99%/01%, but one is much
worse than the other.
Roll on the 14th, little more than a week now, to see what type of "grand opening" there will be on the 21st in the UK...
I think over here, Macron is just going to hang on until the Summer Hols in July, and tell everyone to "Be careful" and thats it...we'll see.
