I have had my first COVID-19 vaccine. Go me!

I got a phone call at 2pm from my local surgery saying 'we have an appointment for you. It's at 16.40. Can you do it?' I was in the middle of training for my new job, but the boss said 'yes, do it.' So we trained some more until 16:00 and I changed my top into something suitable and put socks and shoes on and toddled off in a taxi.

So I am partially inoculated. Next injection in 12 weeks. They will notify me by text.

Hey, I just discovered you, hope it’s okay to say hi and also congrats on getting the vaccine! Hope you won’t feel any super bothering side effects, I’m glad your boss was understanding and supportive of you doing it.

Hi! All welcome here!

So far no side effects, so I'm hoping I will escape those.

Fantastic news and I love how supportive your new boss was.

She's great, though trying to train me on one aspect of my new job in one day was a bit much. My brains were trickling out of my ears by the end.

That's great!

Isn't it good? I'm really pleased.

Great news! I had my first vaccine mid-January and aside from a sore arm, no side effects.

I'm pleased. Next stage in 12 weeks.
