Got mine on the third. Second jab gave me back ache so I’m hoping this one goes smoothly.

You want to ask them if you can have it in the arm this time
I was going to do a walk in to CS but then I saw the queues the other day. Much easier to book and stroll past the shivering, unwashed masses

I can never remember, is it the 2nd or the 3rd which is the one they put the chip into you for surveillance purposes?

Booster done, that’s 3 jabs now (plus flu), no reactions - happy days!

Booster for me tomorrow and also my 16 year old daughter has been able to book her second jab which makes me feel better.

Omicron symptoms mild so far, says South African doctor who spotted it
Whilst this is yet to be scientifically confirmed to be a milder strain, it wouldn't be surprising, as so many previously severe viruses over time have mutated into milder strains that we have lived with our entire lives.
The strain could end up being a positive evolution in the timeline of the coronavirus pandemic.
Maybe my old age but where is Coronavirus forum. I have a question about boosters.
It's my old age found it.

I was wondering about that earlier. Maybe that's how this pandemic will end- a more contagious, but far less serious version of the virus that sweeps through the world giving everybody the sniffles and then immunity to bad Covid. I think that's more or less what happened with the Spanish Flu - it's still around today but it gives you a runny nose instead of killing you.

I have no biology or science knowledge whatsoever, but I’m praying this is a plausible outcome. Along with, ideally, as humanity now has antibodies, it stops the ability for the thing to mutate. So it stays as it is for the long term, a nasty fluey thing, but survivable, and not entirely a bad thing if you do get it, meaning social life can revert to some sort of normality.
Apologies for the Daily Mail link, but that’s a narrative that’s definitely being explored and is touched on below. Too early to know, but it appears to be a possibility and is a typical evolutionary path for most pathogens it seems.

So, good news is that I have my Pfizer booster yesterday to follow my two initial AZ jabs. Not so good news, had no reaction to the AZ but today I have a headache, general body aches and generally feeling like crap.
Still, hopefully be fine after a good nights sleep and a day of feeling like crap is far better than having full blown COVID.
