Got my first yesterday. No sweat no waiting no pain.

I had my first vaccine a couple of weeks back. I suffered terribly: awful flu-like symptoms. I was off work for four days. Absolutely glad I was afforded the opportunity, however. Awaiting the date for the second dose. At 37, I was the youngest in the queue, seemingly.
Sorry to hear that but at least it wasn’t long-lasting. Which vaccine did you have? I was told by someone working in COVID intensive care that all those of his colleagues who had previously tested positive for COVID suffered much worse after-effects from Pfizer. I understand the same can happen after the second dose. In both cases, it means the person has antibodies that are going into overdrive - a good sign!

What about the big festivals in 2021 in UK?

My second Pfizer dose was scheduled for today, a month after the first. The pharmacy sent me two automated emails and one automated phone call to remind me, but when I got there they didn’t have any vaccine because it had all gone to newly eligible people and they hadn’t held any back for people needing second doses. No way to know when I’ll get it now.

That sounds almost unreal. I’m sensing you should return and resettle back in Sittingbourne once this pandemic is over I don’t think such a charade would occur under the current NHS vaccine setup. It’s so organised, here.

Cities in Norway are pausing the AstraZeneca vaccinations following reports from Denmark.
Denmark pauses AstraZeneca vaccines to investigate blood clot reports (The Guardian today)
Denmark’s national health agency has said it is temporarily suspending inoculations with the AstraZeneca vaccine after blood clots formed in several people who had the jab, one of whom has reportedly died.

Well...this sounds frightening - hopefully they'll be able to rule out the vaccination as the cause.

Another reason it wouldn't happen there is they aren't scheduling many second doses to begin with.
Not knocking it, as I think it's the smarter strategy, but while 34% of the UK have received their first shot, only 1.9% have received both.
Point being a bit of a wait for a second shot should not be an issue, many are.

In a way it feels like this year has gone by so fast.
Or are we still at the starting gates? Hopefully not.
Finland has just about vaccinated 1,5% of the population. Some 600K doses have been administered.
