    Had my first jab on Sunday, 5pm, Pfizer. Bit late to the game really as they've been vaccinated my age group since May I think here,

    Sore arm started kicking in at about 9pm that night. Was sore to raise laterally the next day, but had already started wearing off by 5pm, was able to go to a wrestling class last night and lifted weights this morning. Felt perfectly fine, arm not sore at all today and no other side effects. Didn't feel groggy or at all fluey or anything.

    My wife and I were due to have our second jab this Thursday, she tested positive on Saturday and my daughter tested positive on Monday, my son and I are both negative and are hanging on to it. They both have flu type symptoms but if that is all they get I will be satisfied, we have isolated them in their bedroom and I am sleeping on a camp bed. I believe that if they did not have their vaccine things may have been very different.

    I have booked my second for 13th July but my wife will need to wait another 28 days which will take the gap between jabs to 16 weeks.

    Was due my second one this morning but had to cancel it as my son developed symptoms yesterday and we took him for a test today instead.



    Hope he is ok.
    Thank you. Got the all clear just before the first goal so a very happy household tonight!

    Have now rebooked second jab for tomorrow.

    What are your thoughts on how/where they caught it?
    Similarly my bruv and 1 of his 3 daughters tested positive on Friday. But he has no idea how. The girls all go to the same school and even had their school photos taken that day, but sibling photos were not allowed even though they live together? Odd.
    So my brother can only think its him that's somehow passed it on, and he's had 2 vaccines already.

    I think my caught it at work, she works in a supermarket on the till, she sits in front of many many customers 4 days a week, you would be amazed how many of the customers that go in her shop are ignorant to mask wearing. Maybe it is the demographic of the customer. Her work is the only thing we have done apart.

    my daughter is 24 so not school age, she went out on Saturday night to London, since then not felt great, now we know why.

    I’m staggered by those figures. I have no idea why this is so poor. Care home staff are poorly paid and there are a lot of immigrant workers filling those caring roles. We know that uptake of vaccine is lower among some ethnic groups but I wasn’t aware that young Eastern European workers who fill many of the care jobs were vaccine sceptic. This really needs to be addressed. Or is there another reason ?

    He has lost his sense of taste and smell. He felt a bit fluey for a short time when he first got it but other than that feels fine now.

    I've now had both Pfizer jabs. I had no ill effects from either. Australia is so far behind with vaccinations, as there is a mentality that it's not really a problem here due to the governments strict and quick actions. 
    What that means for those vaccinated is that we won't be able to return to normal as quickly as other countries as the Australian government has set goals for opening borders, travel etc purely on numbers vaccinated. 
    And I really want to come home to see my mum.

    Ok, might give it a shot (get it). Will it matter that I already have a second jab booked?
