Vaccine (Good) News

[Pippedydeadeye]

Squeak will not countenance feeling even slightly off for a Sunday as it’s rugby match day, so I’ve had to go as far from that as possible.

G is terrified of having time of school because of their stupid catch up policies I might have to do a thread.

[Starry]

They’ve opened registration here for 5-11 year olds, so E is registered as of this morning.

[emma_p]

That's great Starry! I hope they vaccinate 5-11 here too.

[Estrella]

I’ve just got my two kids booked into the 5-11 year clinic on 17 Jan. It’s still school hols then so if they feel crappy they’re home with me anyway and it’ll have had a week to start working before they go back to school.

[emma_p]

Did anyone else experience more cycle irregularities after the booster?

[Disco]

Yes. With every shot I had.

[Little My]

No, I never got that with any of them (AZ, Pfizer, Moderna).

[Hazey_Jane]

Only after number 2, which was Pfizer- having gone from being very regular, I’ve now had one very late and one very early. I’m going to get number 3 tomorrow

[cluefree]

Yes. With every shot I had.

Same here.

[emma_p]

It is so annoying (although obviously I am grateful to have had the vaccines and booster). Super early then massively delayed this time. I've spent weeks feeling premenstrual which was exactly the same as the first vaccine.

[Dutchie]

My periods also went off-kilter after all 3 jabs...

[Jupiter]

Yep. I hadn't had a period for about a year and then my cycle kicked back in after second vaccine.

[Rebel Pebble]

My mum has just been offered a 4th dose, as a clinically vulnerable person, which is great.

[Disco]

Oh that's good Rebs!

[Rebel Pebble]

Thanks Dics. I'm really pleased because I'm aware of the reduction in protection from the booster and she had hers in October.

What's interesting is that all her previous jabs were via the GP Hub at her local surgery. She was there today for another reason, asked about it, and they said they're not involved anymore. So it will be via the national booking system, like mine, Mr R's and I think the majority of TMT have been. I'm guessing GPs and surgeries really need to get back to doing their normal thing.

Anyway I do hope vulnerable Turtles and Turtle relatives hear something similar soon.

[dizzyd]

Just resurrecting this thread as my mum is having her 5th one next week and I'm going to ask if I can have my booster
I'll be 48 next week and I'm aware is 50plus but I'm hoping they'll assume I'm her unofficial carer

Are those who are eligible getting their winter booster ?

[Disco]

My parents had their's yesterday which was the new and old variant booster. My mum's eighth and my dad's seventh jab!

[Kleio]

I’m eligible for a winter booster (received the text today) so I’ll be booking in soon.

[Disco]

I reckon they'll offer to under 50s soon enough.
