Had my winter Covid "Spikevax bivalent original/Omicron" booster yesterday, 16 hours ago.
This is my blog to help inform those worried about having the vaccine, amuse those easily amused and annoy those that follow the anti-vax cult.
👇 1. It hurt, did you know they push a hollow-tipped metal dagger into you?
Seriously, it was like a pinprick, nothing. I had the injection at a pharmacy booked via the NHS site. My only complaint was that I had to travel over 4 miles, when there ought to be nearer places.

9 March. The latest ONS weekly death figures improved, 2914 people dead from #Covid19UK

We must keep #lockdown3 and #TestTraceIsolate the virus to eliminate it in the UK. W/e 26 February, 1066 people above the 5-year average deaths number.
The % figures show the increase/decrease over the 'normal' death rate
Deaths are 9.2% above the 'normal' number
This is a 9.6% decrease from the previous week

Had my first dose of vaccine, the astra zen one. I have gone to bed to rest. Actually feel totally fine, but it is a great excuse to get waited on, I have placed my order for my tea (aka dinner, supper etc).
Not even a sore arm, but shush do not tell @HotPot32052191 😸🤓 Day2 of the vaccine. In the night had believed that the heating had been left on, it was so hot. Surprised when I felt the radiator and found it cold. Seems I have had a bit of a temperature. My arm feels sore around the injection site. Took a co-codamol and back to bed...
