My mum is 91. Had the pfz the other day. No reaction at all. She's in Ireland so they're rolling out later than us. Will get next dose in a few weeks apparently . She's been having to fend off her buddies who think they can come and visit now.
I got a text from my doctor on the Friday and had been jabbed by the Sunday (mid Feb), just had to go down the road, though not my doctor's surgery. I didn't have any side effects, and ran 10km the next day. I'm 41 though and don't fully understand why I was offered it so early. I am asthmatic but I've seen several articles saying they are not prioritising asthmatics, so who knows? I'm not complaining though!
An interesting piece here from the BBC website commenting on how people particularly resilient, and susceptible, to Covid are giving geneticists insights into the functioning of the disease. Spoiler alert: slightly worrying if, like me, your blood group is A.
Those blood group O types have a soft life, @pansyface, compared to us poor sods with A, B or AB blood. They also ‘win’ when it comes to heart disease, stomach and pancreatic cancer, blood clots, stress, diabetes, strokes, malaria and, not surprisingly, life span.
But when it comes down to fertility and cholera we’re the ones who are laughing.
It goes without saying that the correlations are often weak and a myriad of other factors come into play. Also, which I find interesting, blood group O was originally classified as type zero but the 0 was mistaken for O.
I watched a you tube film right at the beginning of the outbreak on the vulnerability of certain blood groups, bit scary as I’m AB Negative. My daughter is the same. Having already had a compromised immune system I’ve taken great care.
Having read that last link on here the scientist said just carry on as you have been and forget you’ve even had the jab. Gives me great confidence in it!

cor, crazybee, one of my "side effects" definitely WASNT being able to run 10k. I have witnessed several people saying they cannot wear a mask (shops) because they are asthmatic. My daughter was worried about my grandson, he also gets croup, and allergies, I suck a thick cotton 3 layer home made masks on him, nd made him run up and down the garden.
@Nanny Beach my doctors have always encouraged running for strengthening asthmatic lungs. Good plan on the grandson, he'll be a hardcore runner in no time
