Vaccine jab reaction.
I had the heavy arm all day, but suddenly around 7pm, I felt very cold and tired, so this was roughly 31 hours after the jab.
I had some dinner and at 8pm, I went to bed.
Next day, still didn’t feel 100%, but thankfully wasn’t feeling cold.
By Wednesday I was all OK apart from the heavy arm.
Today I went to the Queen Marys hospital and got my first vaccine jab, the Oxford Astra Zenca one, it was actually done by my GP. I didn’t feel the jab and I hate needles.
Very well organised by the NHS, thank you.
Claire got her first Covid19 vaccine jab today as she was in group 6. She had the Pfizer jab. Apart from a heavy arm for a week, not much of a reaction.
The last few weeks I’ve been suffering with a pain in my left elbow, so decided to raise online consult for my doctor to call back.
I was diagnosed with tennis elbow. Old age creeping in ?
The road to recovery started with both my parents having there first Pfizer vaccine jab today. No reaction to it.
New clap for heroes was meant to start tonight, but no one else did it around us which was very sad. It was the only one done this time.
Claire and I watched a very powerful first episode of Casualty last night (first episode) since filming was allowed after the various lockdowns. I sensed that they were having a dig about some of the decisions made regarding the NHS by the government.
Always nice to get a thank you, this is for the Covid19 testing that we do.
A big thank you for your support in helping us to understand and respond to COVID-19

I was finally able to have a flu vaccine jab, my first one for a few years, but I thought with Covid19, to have some more protection was better.
So on this day December 2nd, the first vaccine was approved to fight back against this killer virus Covid19.
The UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech corona virus vaccine, paving the way for mass vaccination.
Britain’s medicines regulator, the MHRA, says the jab, which offers up to 95% protection against Covid19 illness, is safe to be rolled out.
The first doses are already on their way to the UK, with 800,000 due in the coming days, Pfizer said.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the NHS will contact people about jabs.
Elderly people in care homes and care home staff have been placed top of the priority list, followed by over-80s and health and care staff.
But because hospitals already have the facilities to store the vaccine at -70C, as required, the very first vaccinations are likely to take place there – for care home staff, NHS staff and patients – so none of the vaccine is wasted.
A further 648 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid19 test were recorded in the UK on Wednesday, with another 16,170 cases reported.
