No
Just been for my 7th Covid jab, (well according to the nurse it's my 7th - I can't remember) - for the over 75's

there was a long queue and after sitting in the waiting room for 40 mins and observing, I can see the burden on the NHS becoming greater and greater each day - I had a camera with me but just dare not press the shutter button

I think that I now need a glass of white wine!!

We’ve used a local chemist for our last two flu and Covid jabs as although we do make appointments it’s basically just walk in. I don’t think we’ll bother with appointments in future just see if there’s anyone waiting. Might be an option if available.
 
I've had 4 to date and unless there's absoloute proof that further shots will improve anything, I'm not having any more. I felt ill for days after each one and I still got covid 4 times, pretty sure I got it once after every jab tbh. I'm no conspiracy hack or anything of the sort, I'd say coincidence, but I feel the jabs did not do their job.

Something to look forward to?

Joking aside, I've just had what I though was a cold, and it's left me feeling like crap for weeks - fuzzy head/confused, no energy, coughing, harder than usual to sleep.
 
I've been a little tired since my 7th - but a couple of Campari spitz a night have cured that, and maybe sent me to sleep earlier than usual

I was classed as high risk so had my 2nd jab beginning of 2021. Not had any since. Never tested positive for Covid. But since that second jab my health has gone so down hill. Diagnosed with autonomous disordered linked to Covid, 2 years ago I was coaching football and cycling 150 miles a week on average and working non stop. Now I barely work 4 days a week and bed ridden the other 3 low heart rate and blood pressure and can’t run or exercise at all. Or walk for more than 20 mins. At 43 years of age it total whack. So not more jabs for me that’s for sure.

I'm really sorry to hear that too. Is there a plan to help restore your fitness and strength?

Sorry to hear that Simon, I am in the same position along with hundreds of thousands of others. Do you know which jab you had and the batch number? How has your GP been? Do they acknowledge that you have been vaccine injured? I was also classed as high risk, so had my first AZ jab on 28th Feb 2021 (Batch PV46664). Within three weeks, I was suffering from extreme fatigue, joint pains in the knees, elbows and thumbs, burning pains in my lower legs and feet, balance, vertigo, eye and speech problems, brain fog.
There is a group which I belong to, it is a registered charity which helps vaccine injured and the families of bereaved, you may wish to investigate further.

The vast majority of GP's don't want to acknowledge that vaccines have caused hundreds of thousands of injuries. MP's are not interested either.

It's likely very difficult for them to acknowledge that something they gave or recommended in good faith could be responsible for such harm. And there's probably pressure from above to manage the fallout carefully.
 
They phoned me yesterday to see where I was , but not taking the chance this time was bad after the last two jabs and I’m off on holiday at the weekend
 
Apparently next year they will combine in one jab COVID and Flu
 
Not had any boosters at all, and although I’ve had Covid I’m not convinced the vaccine would’ve made any difference.

My latest one was the first dose of the shingles jab

I got the singles about 6 years ago when I was in South Africa - at first I thought it was an insect bite as I had been taking shots of insects lying in the grass

It was not pleasant

Likewise I've had shingles twice in the last 30 years. One of those occasions I felt like I'd had a motorcyle crash, and been badly grazed, my skin was so sore, yet there was only a mild rash to be seen. Needed 2 weeks off work recovering, but some never recover and can't work again with constant pain.

My wife has had that twice and she told me how very painful it is. She's not eligible for a vaccination,though. I had a vaccination for it last year. I tend to take anything that's going .I do like a joke and asked nurse if there were any other offers on that week. It cheers them up as most people the see are grim. ..often for good reason ,I have to say. I recall going for a annual check up and the doctir gave me a BP test. I told him it was ok at home before I went to the surgery but it would probably be up now as I'd had to sit in the waiting room for 20 minutes watching toddlers smash the wheeled toys and whatever else into the chairs and each other accompanied by yelps and high-pitched cries and on top of that hanging on the wall was a huge framed photo of those men building the Rockerfeller Center in New York sitting on a girder at the top ...850ft...eating lunch. Heights terrify me. I got waves of ' nerve feeling' in my legs just looking at it. It was difficult not too see it it was so large 4' x 4'. I suppose the surgery staff thought it would be an intersting addition in the waiting room. I expect you know the one I mean. I just felt queasy again looking at it now. They must have had no fear atall ? It wasn't just them. There were the so-callede 'water boys' who took them water during thier work day and,it;'s said,that the men told the boys not to look down.Anyway, the doctor had a good laugh.

My wife picked up Covid in London a few weeks ago..she thinks,maybe on the underground. She has to go to bed during the day because of overwhelming tiredness. It seems it can go on like that for 2 months. I've had all the vaccines offered and so has my wife. For whatever reason, vaccines or not, she hasn't passed it on to me.

Glad you stayed infection-free. I find it really frustrating that the vaccines raise a brilliant neutralising antibody response in most people that *appears* really effective at blocking the virus binding to the cell surface receptor that it recognises, yet doesn't completely prevent infection. Hepatitis B - just a moderate antibody response seems protective, but not SARS-Cov-2.

I am in a high vulnerability category so have had many vaccinations and boosters for COVID, Shingles, Flu, and Pneumonia. I have had almost no reaction to any of the vaccines and have caught COVID twice which has been mild. I did have Shingles over 30 years ago (long before a vaccine) and it was very bad (extremely painful) and the effect continued for years. I have not been able to visit the Theatre or other public events partly because of my vulnerability and partly because of the NoVacs and those who just don't care about passing diseases on to others.

I'm not sure how they work out who is eligible for the Shingles jab :thinking:
I'm the youngest of all my mates yet they, and my wife, have to wait until they are 70!!

I had to respond to this. There are some on here who are very knowledgeable about viruses, bacteria and vaccines and may wish to comment and all I can say is that ,as with the 'flu vaccination, they anticipate how it will mutate..if that's the correct term..and tweak the vaccine accordingly and I have heard that there are new strains of Covid every now and then which the latest vaccines maybe designed to combat or it's just for the booster/efficacy aspect. I don't think covid is what it was when it first appeared but it can still be nasty. I've always had confidence in vaccination programmes and take all vaccines offered.

I think it's over 70 which I am..but about 4 years ago years ago blood tests.. a routine check... found my blood iron was quite low and during the investigation I saw a specialist in the immunity system. Shingles and the immune system are closely-linked,it seems. Turns out that it was as a result of me listening to my vegetarian nephew who told me about the downside..for your body..of eating meat..whilst not telling me he took supplements, so I stopped. eating meat Lost weight very quickly, so good if you want to diet...lol. The consultant told me to start eating meat again which I did and I was soon ok. She gave me a course of iron tablets and the pharmacist told me I need eat meat only twice a week and not that much. To the relief of my wife I started eating meat again. Meals are so much easier to think of and, to this day, my wife has never forgiven my nephew as nice a chap as he is...lol.
 
Flu is generally well understood and the various strains are very carefully tracked around the world. We make the antigens used by the vaccine development companies to test vaccine effectiveness, and when the predicted strains are announced by the WHO there's a high-speed effort to generate materials they can use in a few weeks. The influenza virus has specific variants that have been clearly identified, but SARS-Cov-2 isn't like that, and the mutations are relatively unpredictable. It can also mutate fast - we think in terms of Flu variants each year, but in the later stages of the pandemic we could not make antigens to match the latest strains quickly enough to be useful, things were changing every 6 weeks or so. That's not to say that the vaccines were not helpful, because the markers required for cell-based immunity were unchanged between the different strains, so even first generation vaccines would still help with immunity, even if the antibody response wasn't useful.

My doctor once said to me that we didn't fight our way to the top of the food chain only to eat rabbit food :LOL:
A mixed diet is much healthier.

I've got 4 years to wait until I'm 70, my wife 3
A few of my mates are 70 next year yet I'm the one that slipped through the net :thinking:
