Covid vaccination
- Thread starter Lynmax
- Start date
That's good news @Kay111. They didn't say much about side effects one lady asked whether more physical contact is allowed after the vaccination to which they said it's still best to follow the rules especially if you've only had the first vaccination. Another lady asked whether it was safe to breastfeed to which they said it was okay and a third person asked whether if you have a first vaccination with one medicine can you have Astra Zeneca as a second vaccination and this was not recommended.

Well done to all concerned. They could do with a list of people on stand by who are prepared to go at short notice, anything to ensure all the vaccine is put to good use and not wasted.
they probably have different formulas. even when my husband has the vaccine he is still told to shield
I am the sole carer, 24/7 for my Husband who is in the later stages of the combined Dementia, he is unable to speak, doesn't know his way around the house, unable to use the bathroom on his own, I hace to cut his good up now and put his knife and fork in the correct hand, unable to walk more than a few yards and can't get up and downstairs on his own. I am looking into getting a stair lift, as we speak. The Doctors we saw for years have now retired and I find the new ones aren't interested and we only see them once a year for the medicine review and then it is a different one each time. Last year when I raised a query at my Hsband's review I was told the NHS prescribe and monitor his medicine and that was it, nothing else was anything to do with him, there was nothing else he could five him. I just soldier on alone and get through each day as best I can.
Slightly disappointed today after a phone call from the Care Home. It turns out that the vaccinations last week did not take place, something to do with the GP not being ready but I wonder if it was too rushed to get all the consents in. So today I was asked to give my consent again for them to take place tomorrow.
Oddly, when we visited mum last Wednesday, she said that she could remember having a jab the previous day and I was fooled!

So far (rapidly crossing fingers) she has no symptoms, it is just so frustrating that we got so close.
Same here. My mother is 82 and classed as housebound and I was told by her medical centre that her vaccination would happen automatically and was being organised centrally, whatever that means. Nothing to do with them apparently. I'm rather sceptical about anything happening as she has fallen through the net so many times in the past. I'm gearing up for a fight already!
My mother in law was due to have her vaccination on Friday at home, but it didn’t happen. Apparently there was a problem with supply. At least she is on the radar, and I hope it happens soon.
with my doctors, they have to be put on the housebound list which they always need to be reminded of. i had my flu vaccine at home after reminding them. i always seem to slip through the net but ive been told by one nurse to always insist on it.
Last week I received a letter from NHS offering me vaccination at a site of my choice, giving me a phone No. or booking on line. When I tried on line my options were at a County hub right in the middle of the virus hot spot 20 miles away or hubs up to 55miles away. I decided not to bother and wait until I heard from my GP. Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from the local surgery offering me an appointment first thing tomorrow morning at the local hub and giving me the second date in April.
I will be up and out early in the morning!
