So Who’s Had Their Cv19 Vaccination And Which Did You Have?

You get one of these cards and the leaflet.

 

That's got to be hard Viv living like that , fair play you have done well. Can't wait to see our 5 month old grand daughter and our kids as well, its been a long time ( Led Zepp). xx

 

As far as I am concerned it is a farce.

I am in the extremely clinically vulnerable group.

In the cold weather I can't even go outside for a few minutes because my chest instantly gets tight to the point I can hardly breathe.

I have been shielding for over a year now (despite that I got a really bad case of pneumonia in the summer) and that means I haven't been anywhere near the hospital for cancer treatement for over a year either.....

....I know, it's a gamble I have to take.

Around here, the NHS are in charge of the mass vaccination centres. GP Federation deal with the smaller venues.

The NHS know I am at risk as do my GPs.

Out of the blue, during the start of the cold weather, I get a call from the hospital advising me I have a vaccination appointment available on a certain day at the hospital.......A day when it is below freezing and loads of people are queuing outside......No thanks.

However, because I could get no advice from my GP Practice; I contacted the GP Federation.....they tell me I can't have the Pfizer vaccine because of a previous anaphylactic reaction to a drug and various allergies. That means I have to have the Oxford one....the GP Federation have referred it back to my GP Practice.

The hospital would have given me the Pfizer one.....!!!

I also have a letter from the NHS saying I would be contacted by my GP Practice.

Heard nothing from my GP Practice.

Having read this topic, I am beginning wonder if I should avoid the Oxford vaccine too....and just stay indoors.

 

Viv, are there any plans for you to have a antigen test after your 2nd jab? to see how much, if any, antibodies you created?

 

This must be why i've been offered one at 65 years old then as i'm a sole Carer, I did wonder. I wouldn't want to be the one doing the calculations and deciding the jabbing order - it's a DIYDo/DIYDont scenario.

 

thanks Viv, still haven't had a prick ..............................

 

Yipee we have rec'd our notifications through the post, me next on the 17th at a centre near Swansea and V a return trip up past Brecon for her 2nd dose early doors next day. Hope i'll be ok for the long drive...........

 

Leave a little time just in case you get stopped and questioned as we were on Sunday. No hassle, nothing nasty, just a polite question but after you fumble for your face mask, wind the window down and have a friendly chat, added 10 minutes to the journey. Andy

 

its interesting that you may have ended up with pfizer, a lot of consent for patients relies on their memory of past events. The increased risk shouldn't mean you cant have it though, just that there is an increased risk. I think the pfizer one is more effective from what I can gather.

 

Where did you get stopped. I bloody wish I was stopped, it would show some controls are in place here. I have not been stopped once having driven, legally, several thousand miles and many journeys since last May?

 

When I had my Pfizer, the nurse said there was a fair few exceptions with it for those who can’t / shouldn’t have it

 

Driving an English registered car in a Welsh seaside town. Absolutely right and proper that I should be asked to justify being there. The officer was fine and clearly relieved I was chilled about it which I suspect some people he tried to speak to were not. Andy
