I got my first dose yesterday and felt sooo bad today. I managed to drag myself out of bed and into work and slowly got stronger and stronger as the day went on but man did it drag. The heat has fried some people's brains and I wasn't the best equipped to deal with it. My wife managed to avoid being sick but her arm seems to hurt a lot more.

I got my first dose on Tuesday. I didn't feel the injection at all, which I'm told means the nurse doing it knew what they were doing. Even answered my question about relaxing the arm first. My injection site was a bit sore that evening and again on Wednesday but it hasnt been hurting since. The only other side effects I have had has been bouts of tiredness yesterday and today, but honestly that could be from the new baby. With a bit of luck, I might make it through with few to no side effects (for Round 1 at least.) My two younger brothers are in the 25-29 age cohert. I got them both to sign up today instead of tomorrow when the website is meant to open up.

I had people telling me to do stretches before and after to make sure my arm didn't hurt too much, it seemed to work a bit. Didn't feel mine either and the chemist found it hard to know where abouts to put the plaster... Much be my massive quivering muscles!

I was fine on my second pfizer too. Arm was sore for a day. My friend had a pretty bad reaction to it and was out for the count for two days.

I got Pfizer. I love needles so I just sat down with my sleeve up, and it was done. My sister got it in the same GPs office about 5 minutes earlier and was still laying down on a table after I left, I guess I got all the good getting poked by needle genes. Still slightly headachey today, though a tiny bit of that may be because I'm still healing from popping my jaw out of place last Monday..

I got to experience two completely different kinds of feeling like poo poo in a single day. The hangover dissipated by about noon and then the vax reaction kicked in. And it was janssen which is particularly strong.

After booking about a month ago, I was offered the Jansaan single dose from the other pharmacy I booked with. I had gotten the Pfizer one two weeks ago, so I cancelled the Jansaan appointment. It also looks like the HSE have updated their information, so they have me down as "Awaiting second appointment", which will hopefully mean I can get the Vaccine Cert sorted. In other news, it's hot and I had to arrive at the office at 8am to make sure our new work laptops delivered on time... Still waiting.

Seems HSE is scheduling second pfizer shots down to ~18 days after the first now, really pushing the 4 day grace period

Important brit politicos - it's much better that way, it's all for medical reasons not because we wanted to open up ASAP why are you looking at me that way.

I am getting my second Pfizer shot next Wednesday, 27 days after my first. Sounds like the pharmacy is running low soon.

I have gotten my announcement for my second shot on Saturday, which is 18 days after my first shot. I really hope there is no medical benefit to longer intervals between injections.

The Question IRL posted:I have gotten my announcement for my second shot on Saturday, which is 18 days after my first shot. I don't see any anecdotal evidence of it so far. A lot of people who were working in hospitals got theirs in January 21ish days apart and there doesn't seem to be any significant breakthrough as of yet. It is possible those extra three days impact somehow, but I recall that the initial guidelines for Pfizer were 21-28 days after your first shot for your second shot. The only reason we haven't been sticking to that schedule is because of stock levels. The UK has 8 weeks between Pfizer shots and argues that it is a "sweet spot" but I would attribute that less to hard data and more to "we put a huge amount of money into AZ and don't want to see it shown up by a different vaccine"

One of my coworkers was out for the day after getting the Jansaan single dose. She got it in the morning and worked right through, but was then feeling a bit off by closing. She was bedridden the next day, saying she couldn't get out.

The sooner the better second shots go out.

I got my second shot at Citywest on Saturday. I had heard nightmare stories about 4 hour ques that morning, but I think that was just for the walk-ins. By the time my slot rolled around at 16.00 the place was almost empty. In and out in like 30 minutes. So far so good, no bad side effects apart from the injected arm being a bit sore but even that has gone away. I had heard that loads of young people have been showing up to get vaccinated which is great. I really hope that the mad anti-vaxx crowd are a tiny, tiny lunatic fringe here and not a major group like I've seen in other countries.

I really think having Croker as my vaccination centre is the worst possible option. Took ages to get first jab, and still no date for second jab. Plus actually getting the jab involved queuing in the baking sun for an hour, no water or much shade, then into a small cramped office with surly dickhead stewards. Honestly what's the point in using a stadium if you're just gonna cram people into a little office the size of your average Spar. Very Irish experience

Shoehead posted:Danny Healy-Rae is also, again, deciding that rules don't apply to his pub SPECIFICALLY I was away for the weekend. Now, the pubs did have some decent outdoor space, but they just didn't open their indoor space. Everyone had to be outside. They only opened the indoor space for an hour or two when it was raining, and then they were properly checking all vaccination certs before they let anyone in. The only exception I saw to this was a guy with a walking stick who looked to be approaching 90 and what looked like a carer or daughter in her 60s that they let in, just the two of them, when they weren't letting anyone else in. There were queues to get to the outdoor space (well managed.) The tables were socially distanced. Masks to get inside the pub. Every table had to scan or sign in with their details. And this is a very popular holiday spot. Someone said to me these kinds of pubs, that rely on tourists in the summer, and locals in the winter, might not actually want to change back to the mayhem it was before lockdown. There's no messing, everything is managed, there's no real queues for drinks, people aren't taking the piss standing around, taking up space, and not buying anything. The staff are having an easier time of it, let alone the owners. They're probably down a little on revenue but I wouldn't say by a huge amount, and the upsides of everything being orderly and there being no hassle (not fighting, just everything being a crowded mess) is a big one. It might be a new way of running a pub in some of these places. And for me, personally, I was well looked after. I'd often rock up on my own to have a few pints and clear my head and they had no problem with me taking up a table to drink, when lots of city places wouldn't even let you in.

Dude, everywhere should take the less-revenue-for-more-control approach. We switched over all our body piercings here to appointment only, you even need an app to speak to an artist here and I'm actually making MORE money over it. I know exactly who should be here at any one time, I know what gear I need, I know what to expect to be out of by the end of the week and tbh we are so busy that when someone doesn't show up I go drink some water and relax. And then if someone shows up 20 minutes late I send them the gently caress home, it's amazing. Plus I don't have to manage the headache of 8-12 16 year olds just barging in to look at rings or whatever shite they want

A lot of restaurants and offices are looking at the restrictions as a chance to redesign their spaces for better footfall and movement, because they were noticing improvements in employee performance when their workspace wasn't packed like a drat prison. The RIAI have also looked into it and are making recommendations for designs / regulations. At the start of the lockdown, they were looking for pictures of typical spaces with floor markings or layouts with plexiglass for their historical records.

The Luas should be free... but also in every city in the country. Though I could see a few places being an absolute nightmare with that kind of infrastructure.
