Got my second dose of Pfizer yesterday. Absolutely no side effects so far, although I've taken a few precautionary paracetamol.

So I'm halving my meds now too and apart from the small enough damage done to my metatarsal joint, which is not reversible, I've no active arthritis inflammation.
Much busier in Citywest this time around, huge numbers milling in and out with Gardai having to direct traffic to clear junctions. I arrived the suggested 5 mins early for my 3.35 appointment. There was hundreds in the queue, but to be fair things kept moving at a decent rate. I was still in and out by 4.45, which considering the numbers around I was happy with. All the staff there are very nice, some of the people attending for the vaccinations not being so nice to them!
2nd dose of Pfizer yesterday, sore arm and joints and low energy but all to the greater good!
I had my 2nd pfizer last Thursday and on Friday felt pretty bad, very fatigued along with headaches and general brain fog. But absolutely fecking delighted to get it even if it cost me a spin to a Harps game
First jab received in Aviva stadium today
Second jab done.
Was originally due next week, but I'm going across to England for a couple of weeks so it had to be moved back until mid July. But they started accepting people over 30 for walk ins at the SSE Arena for second jabs so took myself down yesterday and I'm done.
Great bit of piece of mind before going away. All I need now is for Denmark to get the job done.
Single dose is J+J right? That 45 number seems way off if so?
Single dose seems well off alright, presume it doesn't include those being administered in pharmacies or doctors surgeries? The only conclusion I can come up with there.
yeah, those doses haven't been confirmed yet
Second dose this morning in Aviva stadium, ten minutes between arriving and sitting in recovery
First dose yesterday in Citywest. Absolutely no queue, was in and out in 20 minutes. Very nice Army Private did it for me. Sore arm today, but that's all.
Getting the Luas in and out was worse than the jab. The Red Line can be a real pit sometimes!
Sitting in recovery in City Hall in Cork now after second dose. Completely painless process both times around.
That's something that's worth repeating I think, especially for the younger crowd who might not be used to vaccine shots. I have a huge fear of needles, so was prepared to be hyperventiliating yesterday, but it's literally a jab. It's over in a blink of an eye. Giving a blood sample last year was 100 times worse.Quote:

The day after I got the second Pfizer dose (yesterday) I was sicker than I've been in probably 20 years. Headache, fever, every muscle in my body ached. All back to normal today though.Quote:

Second dose yesterday. Lots more aches and pains around 24 hours later, and a bit of what I've seen people call "brain fog" alright, nothing worse than that so far.
Israel has started into a third dose of the vaccine after cases have gone from 0 (literally nil) on 9th June to a near-record amount of 8,700 on 16th August.
They've revised long-term Pfizer efficiency from 94% to 64%, and it appears antibody rates reduce dramatically after about eight months. They've reintroduced restrictions and masks.
Ho hum...
I refuse to thank that post, informative as it is. Damn it.
Getting my booster Monday, hopefully things will have calmed down a bit by Xmas so I can go and have an actually bloody pint!
Didn't sleep at all on Monday night, with a high temperature, pounding headache, and had to take yesterday off work. Had a phone consult with my doctor and he recommended a PCR test for my own peace of mind. Got a spot at 4 yesterday in Dundrum.
Feeling better today, but still wiped out.
Was at a wedding with Mrs T over the weekend, and she got a message from the bride that she tested positive for COVID today.
Still waiting on my results.
Update on the wedding. Three of the eight people that were sitting at my table have now tested positive, including the woman myself and Mrs T gave a lift to the train station the day after the wedding.Quote:

Hope everyone is doing ok. I’ve had a close scrape recently as I work in private houses , a customer was positive. I went to citywest for a pcr and got the all clear. Thankfully I’m triple injected now. I’m hearing of more people I know that are positive or close contacts this time around. I’m not too nervous and still get out and about with masks & sanitizer etc. I do think we have to learn to live with this thing as it looks set to stick around in the foreseeable future.Quote:

Hope your PCR comes back negative tets.
Test results arrived this morning - positive for COVID. ********.
I'm feeling fine today, apart from being a little dehydrated. Monday night and Tuesday were the worst. Yesterday I was ok, apart from the occasional coughing fit, and a headache. Have to isolate for ten days from the test on Tuesday, the 14th, which takes me up to Christmas Eve
If those 36 hours were any indication of what a weakened version of the virus can do to someone, then get ****ing vaccinated, I would not like to face that without it.
Have a wedding on Tuesday, although it's a small one, this is making me nervous. Don't particularly fancy being in isolation for Christmas. I've got my booster too but wife hasn't. I know the venue have said everyone needs a covid cert (or the couple have taken it on themselves to insist on everyone having been vaccinated) so it should at least help limit the chances of picking anything up. I'm in the camp of still being very careful, I can't walk past a hand sanitizer without using it. I do think complacency has a lot to do with recent spread, it amazes me how few people seem to sanitize going in and out of shops etc now compared to the early days.
Hope you're feeling better tets and managed to escape it.
*crossed over posting. Hope you recover well, at least the isolation finishes on Christmas eve!
Get well soon, Tets.
Rest up Tets and take care.
Sorry to hear it Tets, keep yourself safe.
