Triple-vaccinated

[wiseheart]

Mum and I walked down to the family doctor's practice today to get our booster shot. Thank God the weather was nice: dry and sunny, though a bit windy. Things were perfectly organized at the practice, we spent there half an hour altogether, including the obligatory 20 minutes after the jab that you have to spend there in case some immediate reaction might occur. Afterwards we even stopped at the small supermarket on our way which Mum hasn't seen for almost a year. She was pleased, although a bit tired after wards.

So far no unpleasant side effects have resurfaced. *knocks on wood* My arm got a bit warm and the spot of the jab slightly tender, but I iced it for 15 minutes and so far it seems okay. We'll see if it stays that way. Mum hasn't experienced any side effects so far. Clearly, she's made of sterner stuff than I am. *fingers crossed*

This took all the morning. Then we had a visit from the physiotherapist and I cooked lunch - which we'll be eating tomorrow. We are a tiny bit lethargic right now, but that's probably more due to nerves than everything else.

Did you get Sputnik again or something else?
Hope you don't still get any reactions.

We got Pfizer. Still hoping for the best. :)

Woot, congrats to your third shot! Glad you got that taken care of. My mother handled it well too, apart from two days of her arm hurting. But none of the exhaustion she had prior. I'm gonna have my turn in December, with Spikevax since that's being issued now, so I will see how my body likes that.

We've got Pfizer this time. Let's hope all will go well.

Great news! And yeah for no side effects! My Mum will have her booster on Thursday! As for me, I'm still too young so I have to wait a little more!

Your time will come!

You got it done! Congratulations :)
It really does make you feel a bit more secure about moving forward with life. I really don't understand the people that refuse to be vaccinated, it's obviously not a logical choice.

Some people are just unreasonable. And why certain religious communities are against vaccination is beyond me.

Congratulations to your third and certainly not last jab! I wish that thing they give us might work wonders, alas, it does not... Hopefully you won't have to suffer from a sore arm!

Actually, I do a little, but it's not too bad.

Good for a booster! And go mom for making it all the way there and back.

She is a real trooper.

I'm so happy you managed to get your boosters. I still have not been able to organise mine, unless I want to spend fifteen pounds or more traveling. I am hoping that the powers that be will notice I'm not boosted and will arrange a local vaccination.

Fingers crossed that it happens!
