[Misc] 5 months beyond your second vaccination jab?

[The Clamp]

Can you do a walk in to Churchill Sq for booster? Or just first and second jabs?

I did, at 10:00 am two Fridays ago. The queue for walk in boosters was slow compared to pre booked vaccinations, ( (more medical staff on that side). I felt really lucky to get my booster, there and then.

Thank you, I’ll give it a bash.

Had my booster today, roughly six months after no.2 jab. Received an email from the surgery inviting me in. Flu jabs seem to be readily available in supermarkets (Asda certainly, was going to get one there) but when I turned up at the surgery for my booster jab they asked me if I'd like a flu jab at the same time. You bet I would!
If life with Covid is in future going to mean a jab every six months, I'm not going to be one of the pillocks who wimps out.

Well said, sir

Fab. Thank you

The NHS site for walk-in centres does not seem to list many of the places that are allowing walk-ins, such as Churchill Square in Brighton.

However, when I had my (appointmented) booster at Durrington Health Centre (I'm with Lime Tree in Findon), I noticed a sign outside stating that they were taking walk-ins at weekends. So, if I were you, I'd get there around the time they open, just in case they cap the number of walk-ins, and see if they'll jab you there and then.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look there tomorrow.

I am registered at Cornerways but haven't recieved a text from them yet like I did back in January and April. I am just about still under 50 though I am maybe wrongly assuming that my asthma, although well controlled and very mild, may put me in the vulnerable category.

Got the booster today at Flimwell.

Youd be better off getting a vacination

Both of us got the booster on Friday. Both could barely lift our left arms yesterday. Both woke up at 4.00am last night for a side effect off the list of the toilet variety. Both feel a bit tired (not helped by the night interruption) but back to normal this morning. Seems worth it to us for the expected benefits.

I guess so, I had my jabs back in June though.

I had a Tetanus booster some 30 years ago, for about 20 years if I turned my head in a certain way I got pain at the site of the needle, didn't happen too often so as Vegster said, just bad luck where the needle went in.

Oh dear, sorry to hear about the reaction, where did you have yours done? The wife and l had our boosters/flu jabs on Friday too.

Resisting the temptation to reply 'in my left arm', we went to Henfield Medical Centre where we are registered. Excellent process from start to finish. They sent an initial text offering two dates, right on schedule. We accepted last Friday and although the times were 2 hrs apart, I rang them and they added me to my wife's appointment, so only one visit. Went in right on time, a short ID pre-amble followed by a quick painless jab. They insisted we waited 15 minutes in a waiting room before leaving and gave us a humbug or rhubarb and custard sweet to while away the time. Very well organised.

Huh! we went to Christ's Hospital, and although absolutely everything was excellent, and organised like clockwork, we weren't offered a sweetie!

Feel short changed now.

Sniff.

.. an update ive just heard on the radio. 4500 people double jabbed have already died of covid in this country, so I'd say we're a long way from hearing the full extent of delayed boosters this winter.

Also 35000 deaths with no vaccine at all this year

Absolutely, remarkable how the media conveniently promote the 4,500 jabbed who have supposedly lost their lives, than the 35,000 unvaccinated deaths.

Makes me very angry actually.

Aching arm and needle entry site very tender 24 hours after the booster jab. Didn't have this with the previous two, but was warned that a reaction was more likely before they stuck the needle in. Wonder why the booster seems to cause more discomfprt than the first two?

MkII microchip must be bigger, takes longer to settle in, I guess .......................................

Since yesterday the chip has been to work around my body. I feel awful today, raging headache and aching joints. My wife is not feeling good either.

Still worth getting it done. At least they'll be able to find me if I get lost.

They changed the criteria for vulnerable with regard to asthma. Now the wording says "severe asthma" which doesn't sound like it covers mild and well controlled asthma!

I assumed that was the case although when I got my flu jab I was told by the pharmacist to tick the severe asthma option even though my asthma is mild as it was the only option available.

Walk in jabs weren't available at Durrington Health Centre today. The Strand were also doing jabs but as they were busy walk in jabs were not permitted but apparently they were available at the Charmandean Centre according to one of my wifes friends. Unfortunately she wasn't told this till just a few minutes ago!
