Covid injection period

[Tramps_mate]

It's that time of year - straight in - straight out - injection painless - no waiting seems to me people are not bothering to get them any more in vast numbers as they used to ?- you used to be in a long queue at one time each year it seems fewer people don't bother any more ....
My family caught covid in June, lasted for 2–3 weeks a weird flu virus that went away & kept coming back - the nurse explained the people with no vaccine often end up in hospital ? Many new variants forecast to arrive - some people do get nasty reactions to these vaccines......

I dont think so much any more.

I had two vaccines (un-willingly to be honest) and have had a pain in my arm ever since the second one in 2020/21.. A doctor I saw thinks it hit a nerve. Will probably ache forever more.. No intention ever having another jab, nor a flu jab.

Got my flu jab last Wednesday (Boots) didn't want the Covid same time as it knocked me for 6 last time.
No problem come back next Wednesday same time they said.
Went earlier and was told their supply had run out come back next week
They said there's been a big demand in the last week or so after it started slowly.

I can wait another week I suppose.

Yes I understand - my daughter had a bad reaction now long term sick with long covid - she blames the vaccine, & I know other people who had very bad reactions too.... no time to trial them out IMO ....plus no cure for long Covid - the governments both of them wondering why loads of people are sick since Covid ......

My Doc reckons over 2 years of shielding and the public not interacting normally has lowered everyone's immune systems .
That's why there are many colds & viruses doing the rounds , it may take years to stabilise.

….slight tangent but I find the NHS App quite useful.

My doctor daughter got me on Statins years ago because of family history and it’s so easy ordering repeat prescriptions. Blood test results, Covid injections etc are all on there.

Had my Covid and flu jabs yesterday afternoon.

Arms are a bit sore today but so far having less reactions than previous years.

My wife had to have open heart surgery at Broadgreen a good few years ago .

I will always remember the surgeon's words " Generally speaking I advise my patients to avoid hospital, they are ghastly places with all sorts of germs floating about but in your case I'm afraid there is no alternative"

Hope she's OK

The GOTBusters

It proves one thing only a few people are getting g the covid jab on the GOT a few of the usual subjects on the GOT - some with general explained reluctance others having a banter ..

Had this and the flu jab.

Could afford, and would gladly pay a voluntary payment for both.

Don't understand why the NHS, on it's uppers, doe's not implement this.

if you can lose herd immunity in 2 years you can also gain it back in 2 years, but also disease has been around longer than 2 years

The only thing our Yank healthcare system gets right is flu/covid vaccines are free/paid by insurance for most people; and it's easy to schedule and get the vaccines without (usually) long waits. I guess it's time to get off my butt and get my appointment.

Sorry that you have pain in your arm, I presume SIRVA?

What Is SIRVA?

SIRVA stands for shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Here’s what you need to know about this rare injury, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment.

Did the doctor recommend any treatments? Since you have had it so long it might be worth going back and seeing if anything can be done to help alleviate it.

I hope you’ll still consider getting the tetanus jab, it is only every 10 years but can stop a particularly nasty disease.
