  • Very jealous of my wife at moment - she got text yesterday to have her first jab - going to Dartford FC’s ground on Saturday to have it - turns out that because she has low immunity, her GP put her in group 6 - I am marooned in group 9 - she is 2 years older than me (I am 50)
  • I see ! It’s me being out of it more than anything so I apologise ! I should have realised. 

    As regards the vaccine, the hospital think there’s a possibility that my jab has reacted with the aspirin I’m taking to thin the blood.

    I wonder, does anyone on here who has had their jab, take aspirin daily ?
    I had the Pfizer jab 3 weeks ago and i take a cocktail of heart medications daily including 1 asprin tablet.  Did tell them when asked but they still carried on. No reaction apart from a sore arm. Hope you get better soon

    I was asked if I took any blood-thinning medication before my vaccine, and my wife was too. They mentioned specifically Warfarin and aspirin. I don't know if that helps.
    Same here (AZ jab). When asked I told them I was on Warfarin, then they stabbed me in the arm. Not sure what difference my answer made to the process tbh...

    I also take 75mg of aspirin daily and had Pfizer with no issues. 
  • My brother is not 40 until August and no underlying health issues. He got a call at the weekend and had a vaccine at Guy's on Monday. Even the nurse was confused why he had gotten the call.

    Presumably when they have excess vaccine they ring people on their hospital records?
    One of my mates had the same last week and he is 49 and no health issues.
    But he was on their records for back treatment years ago.

    No idea mate. He was at Guy's in 2011 for a minor op so may be the case.

    There you go then.
  • Go with her if you can, they may give you the jab as well.

    Mrs came with me to the Excel centre on Monday and they offered her the vaccine even though she's in group 8 and said they would have vaccinated anyone who lived at the same address if they had turned up with me.
    The same thing happened with me as I said earlier on this thread. It's definitely worth asking the question when you accompany someone for the vaccine.
    They always have cancellations or no shows, although I don't get why people would just not turn up for no reason.

     
  • I can confirm that if you accompany someone for a jab, you should ask. I accompanied my brother for his jab, and mentioned that I was his main and only carer in his family (he has early on-set dementia), but that I don't live with him, and they said, 'That's fine, you can have your jab with him,' probably because they could tell that he was a bit confused and scared and needed me to get him there. It did help that I was in the age bracket that should've had one.
  • I’m going to attempt this tmrw when my wife goes for her jab - he who dares Rodney, and all that - it’s only a 5 minute walk from our house, so I will get her to ask if I can be jabbed as well

    Fairly sure the age in this instance is irrelevant. 

    There’s obviously going to be some places that are sticklers and you’ll come across the odd jobsworth, but it’s clear from how many people saying it that when either booking their appointments in advance or in turning up on the day, others with them are getting jabbed as well.  

    Just make sure you have your NHS number handy. 
  • Now, see, I wasn't armed with my NHS number, because I asked on the off-chance, but it was all fine for me, after filling out the form as far as I could. Now, as you say, AFKA, it might not be that easy for everyone, with the odd jobsworth here and there.

  • But, yes, going in with your NHS number will probably give you a head start.
  • Dammit I was looking forward to tucking into a Brazilian this weekend.

  • arm or arse  :D
    I say I had a sore arm. My wife says I am a pain in the arse.

    Yes...I do.💊

  • I couldn’t move my arm the next day! But worth it to be jabbed !
