Took my mum for her jab this morning. She had the Ox-AZ one. No problems at all, no side effects, straight in and out in 10 minutes and the second dose is in 11 weeks.

Shortly after I wrote this I began to get a tender feeling around the area where the injection was. It remained a little sore overnight but it is now almost back to normal.

Glad you're ok. Seems like about 1/3rd of people have some mild symptoms but they only last a day or so at most.

Just like it, Thursday was a lovely day so after being stuck in due to rain for several days went out for a walk for a couple of hours. Got back and could see there was a message on the answering machine. Played it back and was doctors surgery. Had rung up for a short notice vaccination but as i was not home will give it to someone else. Had a letter this morning from NHS saying my age group was now rolling out and i could make an appointment via their website. Went there and put in my details and went to next page. And there it was, telling me i had missed an appointment but could still register via them and choose a place to get vaccinated. Only two places for me both miles away, a two bus journey. But said they are adding all the time. So unless i hear from surgery again, will wait for more places nearer to me. There is one 800 yards or so from where i live, but i am not allowed to use that one.

Get in touch with your local surgery and give them a tale of woe about your faulty phone then ask if they have been trying to get in touch. They should be able to fix you up with a local jab. Only a little white lie which could save you unnecessary travel.

Seen on the local news this evening, Home Park football ground had more people in line waiting for vaccination than the football team gets for a home game. Before the pandemic.
