    We will all be called at some point I’m sure,  the original vaccine doesn’t just suddenly stop working after 6 months.

    1. Interval between the booster vaccination and blood donation.

    I know that if I have had the vaccination I have to wait 8 days before giving blood but is there any constraint when it is the other way round? If I give blood do I have to wait for any period of time before I can have the booster vaccination?

    2. Reactions to the booster jab.

    And on a different but related point, are there reports of people feeling out of sorts after the booster jab? I need to be fit to drive 50 miles to an important medical appointment every Wednesday for four weeks. With this in mind, I am happy to book an appointment on Thursday, Friday or, maybe, Saturday but any time after that seems too close to Wednesday should I experience a reaction. Is that wise? Or overly cautious? Or are generalisations impossible?

    First two times I had Astra Zeneca. With the first I was slightly aching on Day 2 and with the second I had no adverse reaction at all.

    I’d value opinions on these two matters. Thanks.

    If it’s of any help at all my sister in law’s first two jabs were Astra Zeneca (no real reaction) her booster was Pfizer … she didn’t have a flu jab …  she had a couple of days of feeling ‘a bit grim’ but after that she was fine.

    COVID meeting on ZOOM today, every committee member from the medical and scientific community wanted Plan B instituted now.
    What will be done about it?
    Nothing.

    Plan B doesn't fit with their message - the message they want people to remember.
    The outcome of Brexit, whether good, bad or indifferent, didn't matter - the message did. Get it done. MAGA.
    The success of the vaccine rollout. That's it. Whether even true or not doesn't matter either. It's just they need the message to stick.

    The general consensus, is that the 3rd. jab is causing more side effects, to more people.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    My daughter had a flu like reaction to her booster, and was off work for a couple of days. She is in her 30's, but had the booster  as she is frontline in the NHS. She had no reaction to the first two.
