Why are they rushing for me to get a 2nd now then? It’s only been 4 weeks since my first.

If you rebook through the NHS site, you will only be offered dates from 8 weeks anyhow. No idea with walk ins.

They are obviously panicking, for good reason.

I had my 2nd 5 weeks after my first but glad really was on the lash in Manchester this afternoon and place was heaving with few masks in sight.

If you have any kind of social life you'll likely catch this thing sooner rather than later the way its going would rather be double jabbed than not.
 
I booked online first time. This was just a text & email from NHS sent today saying I can have my second whenever I want now.

Ah right, I got the text and all places were 8 weeks on the dot for me. Probably different per region.

I got the text and they referenced my old date as I have moved mine forward so no idea what system they are using

Christ knows, think I’ll just keep my original appointment. No rush for a second dose; I never leave the house anyway.

I'm out with a few mates for the first time since no restrictions next Saturday. I can book the Thursday before but I don't think I'm going to bother as it takes a few weeks to take effect and I have read you should not drink too much for a few days after.

I've been out in the day a few times for a drink with gf and daughter, table service and mask wearing seems fairly standard here at the mo..in the day.
 
Oh it's hit me hard on and off today.

It's so weird how it comes and goes in waves.

Felt fine this morning except for a really tight pain in my chest. Now that pain is gone - thankfully - but I just keep getting waves of feeling really bad. I can only describe it as like a wave going through my body. I don't even know what of, it just feels awful.

I imagine it would have been much worse if I didn't have the first dose in me. Had to work today, and didn't sleep at all last night, so just glad it's cooled off a bit cause that heatwave wasn't helping any with the humidity.

I still struggle to understand how it effects people so differently, I'm no doctor but I haven't even heard any theories as to why. I know someone who had 1 jab and caught it.. Was slightly off for a couple of days but that was it, he's hardly the fittest bloke I know. If you don't mind me asking what's your lifestyle like?
 
The vaccines weren’t rushed through, all went through the standard phases and quantity of testing as are usually used to determine safety.

The differences were that there was massively more money being thrown at all of them (several still failed the clinical trials if you recall because they were not up to snuff). Once past animal trials there were a lot more volunteers for the human phases and the disease was so rampant that the sample sizes to determine safety and effectiveness were reached much sooner than usual. The manufacturing was also done in parallel to further reduce the timeline.

“The vaccines were rushed through” is one of the most pernicious lies of the anti vax movement, please don’t give it any further oxygen.

Rushed as in they'd normally take years and years to make. They had to be pushed through - miraculously so too thanks to science working together - in a very short amount of time at short notice. But still, trials will only go so far. It's the real world results that mattered as well.

The spacing of a few more weeks from 3-6 was a gamble. It was definitely a gamble from 3 to 12. But it had to be taken too. And thankfully it went well. Ideal world, shouldn't have had to happen, but the UK - as lots of people like to point out - weren't in the ideal position.

It's mad. The loss of taste and smell thing is also really, really weird - but I haven't had that.

Has there ever been a coronavirus which did that?

Makes you wonder doesn't it... and some delta symptoms are pretty much an entirely different illness altogether.

It all depends on local supply too.

Take the offer up, you might as well.

They're wanting to get as many people fully done as quickly as possible.

If you do it now, you won't have to isolate come August 16th either (unless you have it).

What's there to lose?

When you booked online, was your spacing 12 or 8 weeks? If you go back on now, you'd be able to move it down to 8 weeks.

I once cleaned the bathroom with too much bleach and got a sensory stroke, no smell or taste other than bleach for a few days.

But there are quite a few illnesses where you can lose them.
