Just back from my jab in Royton, smooth operation, 10 mins in a queue.

Given the AZ one, told they'll be in touch in around 12 weeks and sent out of the building straight away.

Everyone having it look around my age 57. Got a very slight headache over my right eye but otherwise fine so far.

That is good news.

Worth saying that the honest concern that was expressed about the delay in delivering the 2nd Pfizer dose was more about whether efficacy would drop after 3 weeks than if it provided good protection initially. Folk in their '80s are used to taking medicine at the intervals prescribed, not seeing those intervals extended for whatever reason, however sensible.

Hoping for a bit more significant drop in cases today and a lift ahead of Boris announcement next week. Finding not doing much very hard like everyone else. Vaccination this pm!

44 but Asthmatic - i got flu about 5 years back and ended up in hospital on Oxygen and felt like i was drowning for about 2 days so i have genuinely been shitting it the last year as i think it would have been brutal and feel like it is a miracle i have not had it. Been in Town every day and on site, my kids have had it and tonnes of people i have known.

this vaccine rollout is very scattered, friend under 30 has had one this morning and there must be some funny technicality to get them one this early.

Age is not the only criteria at all. Vulnerability is. Of themselves or someone they live with.

Now they have got through most down to 60 (and pretty much all within a couple of weeks probably) age will take second place to underlying conditions even more because the sub 60 age risk is not a steep drop like the 60 - 65, 65 - 70 , etc upper age ranges are - nor genetic factors that likely only the GP will know are relevant.

My GP told me that were I still a full time carer as I was for 14 years up to a couple of years ago I would have got mine in January. A month before I did. Just for that reason not age related at all as it was protecting a more vulnerable person who could not avoid contact with me daily.

It is a sign the vaccination programme is going better than expected not cheating.
